Abstract
A strip storage arrangement with a strip storage unit in strip treatment plants. The strip storage unit is divided into two or more storage sections. Each strip storage section has its own tension drive. Speed-controlled intermediate strip drives are arranged between the storage sections. The intermediate strip drives apply the bending and friction forces of the preceding storage section, so that the tension input value of the first loop strand of each storage section is equal. The resulting strip storage unit can have any storage capacity and is of simple and operationally safe construction.
