Vertical annealing furnace for the continuous bright annealing of metal strip (10) guided through the furnace, comprising a vertically disposed muffle (16) having a strip entry side and a strip exit side, as well as heating means for externally heating the muffle, the muffle (16) having the freedom to expand in the longitudinal direction. The muffle (16) is disposed such that the strip entry side is situated at the top side and the strip exit side is situated at the underside, the underside of the muffle (16) is delimited downwards in the longitudinal direction and the muffle (16) can expand upwards in the longitudinal direction. The vertical annealing furnace is particularly intended to be used in a heating section (2) of a strip treatment device further comprising a strip feed section (1), a cooling section (3) situated downstream of the heating section (2) and a strip removal section (4). |
