PURPOSE:To advance easily a sheet stock during rolling by making vertical rolls drivable and to prevent the side faces of sheet stock from causing scratch es, etc. by connecting an impeller to the rotating axis of each vertical roll and providing a nozzle for rotating each impeller by blowing a fluid against it. CONSTITUTION:Plural vertical rolls 24 are rotatably installed in conformity with the inside guide face of a side plate 22, and impellers 26 are attached to their rotating axes 25 respectively. Nozzles 27 are provided adjacently to the impellers 26 respectively to connect a hose 28 to each nozzle 27. In a side guide device formed in such manner; a sheet stock arrived at the guide device after moving along its advancing direction A is smoothly fed to a rolling mill by the vertical rolls 24 rotated previously by blowing high-pressure fluid from nozzles 27 against the impellers 26. Then the end faces of sheet stock are prevented from causing scratches and seizure, and the wears of vertical rolls are also effectively reduced. |
