Coiler-furnace combination

摘要

A coiler-furnace combination comprises a horizontal coiler, a strip guide which comprises two pressure rollers for forcing the strip against the coil and two part-cylindrical guide segments, one of which precedes the other in the winding sense and adjoins a strip transfer bridge for transferring the strip to and from the coiler, and a strip lifter. To simplify the structure, the two guide segments are secured to arms which pivoted on pivots disposed outside the heat-shielding hood and parallel to the mandrel. The strip lifter is constituted by the delivery edge of that guide segment which succeeds the other in the coiling sense. The strip transfer bridge consists of a roller conveyor and at its end facing the mandrel has a pressure roller for forcing the strip against the coil.
