Device for coating a metal strip with separately movable electromagnetic stabilizing device and blowing device

A device (100) for coating a metal strip (200), comprising:

• a coating container (110) filled with a liquid coating material (300) for coating a surface of the metal strip (200) as the metal strip (200) passes through the coating container (110);
• a blowing device (120) arranged above the coating container (110) for blowing excess parts of the liquid coating material (300) off the surface of the metal strip (200) as the metal strip (200) passes through a slot (122) of the blowing device (120);
• an electromagnetic stabilizing device (140) for stabilizing the metal strip (200), the electromagnetic stabilizing device (140) being arranged above the blowing device (120) and supported by the blowing device (120);
• and
• a first displacing device (160) for displacing the electromagnetic stabilizing device (140) relative to the blowing device (120), the first displacing device (160) being arranged between the blowing device (120) and the electromagnetic stabilizing device (140);
• a control device (170) operatively connected to the first displacing device (160) for controlling the first displacing device (160);
• a second displacing device (130) for displacing the blowing device (120);
• a regulating device (180) operatively connected to the second displacing device (130);
• and
• a first detecting device (154) for detecting a deviation of an actual position of the metal strip (200) from a predetermined target center position in the slot (122) of the blowing device (120), the first detecting device (154) being operatively connected to the regulating device (180);
• wherein the regulating device (180) is configured to control the second displacing device (130) to displace the blowing device (120) so that the metal strip (200) maintains a target center position within the slot (122), wherein the regulating device (180) controls the second displacing device (130) to displace the blowing device (120) in response to the deviation of the actual position of the metal strip (200) from the predetermined target center position in the slot (122) detected by the first detecting device (154), and
• wherein the control device (170) is configured to control the first displacing device (160) to move the electromagnetic stabilizing device (140) and compensate for a displacement of the blowing device (120).
