Abstract

A strip treatment apparatus, for example for metal strips includes a strip drive and a strip store disposed both at the apparatus entry and apparatus exit with a processing section being disposed between the two stores and a strip drive being disposed after the processing section. The two loop trolleys or roll tables of the strip stores are mechanically interconnected to form a movable unit. The strip drive disposed after the processing section and/or the strip drives at the entry and exit of the apparatus are operative as drives for moving the interconnected loop trolleys or interconnected roll tables, so that independent drives for these movable units can be omitted.
