Definitions
- the invention relates to an apparatus and a method for the post-treatment of a metal strip, which from a
- Beizzone coming stained metal strip is moved in a continuous operation through a rinsing zone, in which adhering to the surface of the metal strip residues of a
- Beizstoffs be removed by spraying a rinsing liquid.
- Pickling process is followed by a zone of after-treatment, in which the metal strip is cleaned of residues of the pickling agent. Typically, this takes place in a rinsing zone, which usually consists of several rinsing stages. Above and below the metal strip, flushing nozzles are provided in the flushing stages, which spray a flushing liquid onto the surfaces of the metal strip. The detergent is usually recycled.
- water is used as a rinse, which may also include chemical additives.
- Ribbon surface come.
- "Spray pictures” are irregularities on the surface of the metal strip, which affect the quality of the pickled metal strip and are undesirable. These “spray patterns” are caused, for example, by the fact that the spray jet hits only a limited area of the surface during the belt stoppage.
- Irregularities e.g. brown spots. These brown ones
- Atmosphere kept. This is done by a
- Liquid mist is generated, whereby the surface of the metal strip is moistened and the atmospheric oxygen does not reach the metal surface.
- the liquid mist is removed by suitable means, e.g. produced by atomizing nozzles. This process is also referred to below as standstill spraying.
- a device for generating a liquid mist in the rinsing zone, a device for generating a liquid mist is provided, by means of which, in the event of an interruption of the continuous operation or greatly reduced belt speed, the surface of the metal strip is moistened.
- the device for generating the liquid mist is separated from the rinsing nozzles and consists essentially of separate nozzles, hereinafter also referred to as spray nozzles.
- the invention has the advantage that with
- a rinsing zone usually consists of several rinsing stages, the misting of the band takes place in the individual rinsing stages. As a result, the problem of the standstill-induced (or greatly reduced belt speed) surface impairment can be solved with comparatively little effort. It is envisaged to provide in at least one or each of the rinsing stages the moistening of the respective band section according to the invention. In a preferred embodiment it is provided that the
- Means for generating the liquid mist is arranged in each case on the side walls of a rinsing stage. As a result, the liquid mist each side of the
- the spray nozzles either in a through the pass line of the
- Metal band predetermined plane, or in levels above and below the front side of the band (pass line) are arranged and their spray is directed transversely to the direction of tape travel. As a result, the distribution of the mist in the interior of the rinsing stages can be carried out uniformly.
- the present object is also achieved by a process for the aftertreatment of a metal strip, wherein the pickled from a pickling zone pickled metal strip is moved in a continuous operation through a rinsing zone, in which adhering to the surface of the metal strip remains a
- the method according to the invention is characterized in that, in the event of an interruption of the continuous operation or in the case of greatly reduced belt movement, the spraying of the rinsing liquid is stopped zone-wise or completely and provided by means provided in the rinsing zone Setup a liquid mist is generated, and thus the surface of the metal strip is kept moist.
- Standstill spraying is performed. During the
- Standstill spraying can be the application of the
- Rinsing liquid are switched off while running tape.
- this special nozzles are used, which are arranged laterally in the rinsing stage.
- a uniform moistening of the strip surface can be achieved if the (mist) spray nozzles either in a predetermined by the passline of the metal strip level or in levels above and below the passline
- the spray direction is given transversely to the direction of tape travel of the metal strip.
- Figure 1 is a schematic representation of a
- Treatment plant for metal strips consisting of a pickling zone and a subsequent rinsing zone consisting of several rinsing stages;
- Figure 2a and 2b is a cross-sectional view of a
- FIG. 1 shows a schematic representation of a
- the treatment plant 1 for metal strips.
- the treatment plant 1 consists essentially of a pickling zone 3 and a subsequent rinsing zone 4, in which the pickled metal strip 2 is aftertreated.
- the metal strip 2 is guided in Figure 1 according to the arrow 5 from left to right along the pass line 6 through the treatment plant 1.
- Rinsing zone 4 consists in the example shown of three
- At least in one of the rinsing stages 7 is located
- a liquid for example, deionized water is used.
- Rinse stage 7 are squeezing rollers 10, which the squeezing the respective treatment liquid from the strip surface 14 and thus retaining it in the respective strip treatment zone.
- FIGS. 2 a and 2 b show a cross section through a rinsing stage 7.
- the rinsing nozzles 11 serve to spray the surface of the metal strip 14 with a rinsing agent, so that residues of the dressing agent are removed from the strip surface 14.
- the flushing nozzles 11 are connected via supply lines to a supply device, not shown.
- the detergent is collected in a tub as a template and recycled.
- a spray nozzle row 13 is shown in each case at the height of the pass line on the side walls.
- FIG. 2b two spray nozzle rows 13 per side are shown above and below the pass line. They represent a nebulizer, by means of which a liquid (usually pure water) is atomized into mist.
- This liquid mist 9 is introduced into the interior of the rinsing stage 7 from the side.
- the supply of the rinsing liquid to the rinsing nozzles 11 is zone-wise or completely stopped.
- the spray nozzles 13 are lined up in the direction of tape 5 seen on a line that is either approximately equal to the pass line 6 of the rinse zone 7 (Figure 2a) or above and below the pass line ( Figure 2b) are arranged.
- Spray jet 15 shows transversely to the strip running direction 5.
- a preferred embodiment of the spray nozzles 13 may be either a single-fluid nozzle (e.g., Vollkep sodase) or a
- a rinsing zone 4 also consist of more than three rinsing stages 7 connected in series.
- the problem of "spray patterns" occurs with belt stoppage or the problem of undesired discoloration in the case of belt stoppage or, greatly reduced
