Abstract: An equipment for the continuous hot dip-coating of a metallic strip comprising: an annealing furnace, a tank containing a liquid metal bath, a snout connecting the annealing furnace and said bath, through which the metallic strip runs in a protective atmosphere and the lower part of said snout, the snout tip, is at least partly immersed in the liquid metal bath in order to define with the surface of the bath, and inside this snout, a liquid seal, a moveable support system, on at least one tank side, comprising connecting means, an overflow connected to said moveable support system through said connecting means, comprising at least one vat and at a least one pump.

Abstract: An apparatus for the continuous hot dip coating of a metal strip is provided. The apparatus includes a vessel intended to contain a liquid metal bath, a bottom roller and a displacement casing for the metal strip. The casing includes an upper portion and a lower portion. The lower portion includes a pouring box delimiting at least two liquid metal pouring compartments. Each pouring compartment is inwardly delimited by an inner wall including an upper rim. The casing is provided with the pouring box, is rotatable relative to the metal strip around a first rotation axis and the pouring box is rotatable relative to the upper portion of the casing around a second rotation axis. A method for coating the metal sheet is also provided.

Abstract: An apparatus for the continuous hot dip coating of a metal strip is provided The apparatus includes a vessel intended to contain a liquid metal bath, a bottom roller and a scroll casing of the metal strip. The casing includes, at its lower end, a pouring box delimiting a front pouring compartment for liquid metal and a rear pouring compartment for liquid metal. Each pouring compartment is inwardly delimited by an inner wall and outwardly delimited by an outer wall. The outer wall of the rear pouring compartment forms, with the passage plane of the metal strip, an angle greater than or equal to 15° in the usage configuration. A method is also provided.
