Abstract

A method of adjusting two shielding elements and including transporting a metal strip on a roller table, shielding a cooling medium from the edge regions of the metal strip with adjusting shielding elements, and adjusting the shielding elements asymmetrically with respect to the central axis of the roller table so that the temperature profile behind the shielding elements, as seen in a transporting direction of the strip, approximate to a nominal temperature profile; and an assembly for effecting the method.
