Abstract
A roll with a rotating shell comprises, between a stationary shaft (2) in the shape of an elongate beam and a rotating shell (3) mounted for rotation around an axis on the shaft (2), a row of supporting shoes (4) with a fluid bearing. The roll is equipped with at least one device (6) for recovery of at least a part of the lubricating fluid escaping from the supporting shoes (4), the device being applied against the inner wall (30) of the jacket (3) to form with the latter a recovery zone (7) which is open in the reverse direction to the rotation of the shell, the zone (7) being connected to a circuit (8) for removing the recovered fluid.
