Abstract
An apparatus for guiding a coated material strip through a dryer has a plurality of guide elements disposed in the dryer so that the plurality of guide elements are equally-spaced. The plurality of guide elements each have a gas-permeable guide face which faces an underside of the coated material strip. A device for supplying a gas to the plurality of guide elements is provided so that a gas stream passes through each of the gas-permeable guide faces and supports the coated material.
