<p>A high-speed strip (1) pickling and other treatment such as rinsing and cleaning the acid (13), or other fluid treating medium, tends to be carried along with the strip (1), which reduces the efficiency of contact of the fluid with the strip (1). The invention addresses this problem by providing a segmented bath, each segment having a deflector (14) over the strip (1) to cause a flow reversal of the acid (13), which is then guided by an inclined separator panel (10) to the upstream end of the segment and deposited again on the strip (1). The exit of the segment also includes a constriction (15) to cause the fluid to accelerate, creating turbulence, and, on the exit side of the constriction (15), causing a decrease in pressure, whereby fluid is drawn down from above the separator panel (10), which in turn assists the circulation of fluid through the flow reversal. <IMAGE></p> |
