Publication number: 20100192849Abstract: The invention relates to a hot-dip coating installation for coating a strip with a liquid metal. A roller formed as a hollow body is provided in the liquid metal for deflecting or stabilizing the strip. The roller is mounted in a bearing on a carrier arm of the hot-dip coating installation by means of a roller journal. The object of the invention is to reduce the rotational resistance, the inertia moment and the slip tendency of the roll in relation to the strip. To this end, the interior of the roller is sealed against the liquid metal and a channel is provided for connecting the interior of the roller to the space region on the periphery of the roll journal. In this way, an excess pressure inside the roller and, therefore, and undesirable deformation of the roller are prevented.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 8, 2008Publication date: August 5, 2010Inventors: Peter de Kock, Ronald Jabs

Publication number: 20100015347Abstract: 2.1 The present invention pertains to a hot-dip coating device 100 for coating a metal strip with a molten metal 200. The metal strip is deflected in the molten metal 200 with the aid of a roll 120. The roll is rotatably supported in a support arm 105 by means of a bearing 144. The bearing is installed in a bearing chamber 142. In order to seal the bearing chamber 142 against an undesirable admission of the molten metal 200, a lock is arranged between the bearing chamber 142 and a roll passage 136 toward the molten metal 200 and acted upon with a gaseous medium under a gas pressure in order to seal the lock chamber 132 relative to the molten metal 200. 2.2 In order to lower the maintenance expenditures for the lock, the invention proposes to realize the lock chamber 132 in the form of a diving bell with a channel-shaped outlet 134 that is open relative to the surrounding molten metal 200.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 5, 2008Publication date: January 21, 2010Inventor: Peter de Kock
