Gas-cushion-type strip-supporting system having a nozzle system

Abstract

The present invention relates to a nozzle system for a band floating system for floatingly guiding a band-shaped material. A nozzle body, which has, along a conveying direction of the band-shaped material, which is conveyable within a band running plane, a front edge area and a rear edge area opposite to the front edge area. A front gas nozzle arrangement is arranged at the front edge area such that a front gas jet is flowable in the direction towards the band running plane for forming a nozzle floating field for the band-shaped material. A rear gas nozzle arrangement is arranged at the rear edge area such that a rear gas jet is flowable in the direction towards the band running plane for forming the nozzle floating field for the band-shaped material. A nozzle arrangement is arranged in the conveying direction in front of the front gas nozzle arrangement or behind the rear gas nozzle arrangement, wherein the nozzle arrangement is configured such that a liquid fluid is flowable in a fluid jet into the nozzle floating field in the direction towards the band running plane for temperature-controlling the band-shaped material.
