Device and method for applying a liquid medium to a roll and/or to a rolled material and/or for removing the liquid medium

A method for applying a liquid medium to a roll, a rolled material, a slab, or a rough strip conveyed in a conveying direction, and for removing the liquid medium, the method comprising the steps of:

• spraying the medium onto the roll with at least one spray nozzle;
• and collecting the medium with at least one plate element, wherein at least one guide element is arranged on a surface of the plate element, the at least one guide element being configured to deflect the medium in a transverse direction that lies horizontal and transverse to the conveying direction, wherein the flow movement of the applied liquid medium diverts the liquid medium to the transverse direction by way of the at least one guide element, wherein the at least one guide element is planar and is disposed on the plate element at an angle in the plane of the plate element between 5° and 80° relative to the transverse direction, or the at least one guide element is configured to be curved.
