Abstract
The invention relates to a device for blowing a fluid onto at least one face of a thin element of the band type, comprising, within a containment (2) having a horizontal longitudinal axis (XX′) corresponding to the axis of travel of the band, at least one radial-flow fan (3) with a vertical axis (ZZ′), having at least one outlet connected to at least one pipe (51, 52) for feeding nozzles (43) directed towards the said face, characterized in that the nozzles (43) induce fluid jets in at least one plane perpendicular to the direction (XX′) of travel of the said band.
Claims22
Device configured to blow a fluid onto at least one face of a thin element, comprising:
- within a containment having a horizontal longitudinal axis corresponding to an axis of a direction of travel of the thin element, at least one radial-flow fan with a vertical axis, having at least one outlet connected to at least one pipe configured to feed nozzles directed towards the at least one face,
- wherein the nozzles are configured to induce fluid jets in at least one plane perpendicular to the direction of travel of the thin element,
- wherein the vertical axis of the fan crosses the horizontal longitudinal axis of the containment, and
- wherein the at least one pipe comprises two diametrically opposite radial pipes, each radial pipe configured to feed at least one series of transverse parallel nozzles not fed by the other radial pipe.
