Abstract
A heat-insulating device for use in a processing line for a metal strip to be transported along a strip conveying direction, preferably for use in a rolling mill, wherein the heat-insulating device has: at least one heat-insulating carriage which has a heat-insulating hood which, in order to reduce temperature losses, can be moved over the metal strip; and a transport, which has a drive for moving the heat-insulating carriage and is configured in such a way that the heat-insulating carriage can be moved out of the processing line and into the latter horizontally, preferably along a straight line.
Claims15
A heat-insulating installation for use in a processing line for a metal strip to be transported along a strip-conveying direction, the heat-insulating installation comprising:
- at least one heat-insulating carriage which has a heat-insulating hood that is fixed in a horizontal orientation and is movable in a horizontal direction over the metal strip for minimizing temperature losses;
- and
- a transporting means which includes a drive for relocating the heat-insulating carriage and is configured so that the heat-insulating carriage is driveable horizontally out of and into the processing line, wherein the heat-insulating carriage has an undercarriage that lies opposite the heat-insulating hood so that the undercarriage is disposed below the metal strip when the driven-in heat-insulating carriage is moved over the metal strip.
