Abstract
An installation for rolling a metal strip includes a rolling mill through which the strip is rolled as it passes continuously, rolling agents brought into contact with rolls of the rolling mill and with the strip, a strip drawing unit positioned at the outlet of the rolling mill, and a decontamination module with at least one degreaser positioned between the outlet of the rolling mill and the drawing unit so as to remove residual rolling agents from the strip at the outlet from the rolling mill. A strip accumulator is positioned at the outlet of at least part of the drawing unit, particularly so as to keep the speed of travel of the strip at the outlet of the accumulator below a maximum threshold. A paper-strip insertion module is positioned downstream of the outlet from the strip accumulator.
