METHOD AND INSTALLATION FOR HOT DIP COATING METAL STRIPS

摘要

The invention relates to a method for hot dip coating metal strips, especially hot-rolled steel strip, in which the metal strip is first transformed into an continuous strip in an unwinding station with an adjoining welding machine. The continuous strip is then subjected to a downstream modifying process which comprises a primary pickle and a secondary pickle; and in a final treatment stage in the hot dip coating part, guiding the continuous strip through a melt bath. According to the inventive method, the continuous strip is transported directly into a pickle in a first treatment step. This results in a less complex, variable coating process. In an installation which is suitable for carrying out the inventive method, the primary pickle in situated in the run-in part and is separated from the hot dip coating part by run-in reservoirs.
