Abstract
A device for the removal and controlled reduction of the amount of liquid remaining on a flat stock is provided. The device is provided for coacting with a moving section of elongated flat stock, such flat stock moving in a direction generally parallel to the opposing edges such as after rolling process. Liquid used for lubricating during forming of the flat stock is removed by a gas stream which flows across the film of moisture transverse to the direction of motion. The device comprises a plurality of exhaust chambers which are open toward the edge of the flat stock, each of the exhaust chambers always located between two adjacent rolls and formed jointly by the rolls in at least one housing unit. Included in the housing is an exhaust chamber and exhaust port for exhausting a stream of gas flowing across the direction of motion of the flat stock. The gas and atomized liquid caused by the gas is removed from the chamber through an exhaust port connection located opposite from the flat stock.
