Abstract: A device and method for post-treating a metal strip, wherein a pickled metal strip (2) coming from a pickling zone is advanced continuously through a rinsing zone (4) in which residues of a pickling agent adhering to the surface (11) of the metal strip (2) are removed by spraying the metal strip with rinsing fluid. At least one device (8) for generating a liquid mist (9) is provided in the rinsing zone (4). The device (8) can moisten the surface (14) of the metal strip (2) during an interruption of the continuous operation or of a sharply reduced speed of the strip. The device (8) has mist spraying jets above the surfaces of the metal strip.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for operating and a method for modifying an installation for effecting the, in particular continuous, treatment, preferably the cleaning, of a metal strip 2 by means of a treatment liquid, particularly a pickling liquid, the metal strip 2 being guided, preferably horizontally, through at least one tank 1 for accommodating the treatment liquid, particularly a pickling tank, with at least one pump circulation tank, preferably two pump circulation tanks 3, for preparing or storing and/or holding the treatment liquid. In this case, at least one pump circulation tank (3) is arranged directly under the tank 1 for accommodating a treatment liquid.
