Apparatus for cooling a strip of sheet metal

摘要

An apparatus is described for cooling a strip ( 1 ) of sheet metal with nozzles ( 6 ) for a cooling liquid to be sprayed onto the bottom side of the strip, which nozzles are arranged beneath the strip ( 1 ) in transversal rows relative to the feeding direction ( 3 ) of the strip. In order to provide advantageous cooling conditions it is proposed that the nozzles ( 6 ) configured as fan jet nozzles form a common middle spraying surface ( 7 ) for each transversal row and that covers ( 10 ) are provided in the spraying region of the nozzles ( 6 ) which are laterally adjacent to the strip ( 1 ) of sheet metal.
