Floating system conveyer

Abstract

Abstract PURPOSE:To provide large floating force with relatively small air flow by directing the blowing direction of injection nozzles parallel to a plane of a strip and inside the strip. CONSTITUTION:A base plate 30 constituting the upper surface of a hot air injector provided below has a specified pattern of slits 32 engraved as injection nozzles. Namely the slits 32 are arranged in a rhombus-shape continuously in the traveling direction A of a metal strip and in a plurality of rows at the left and right of the center line of the metal strip. Also, to the base plate 30 is welded an inverted L-shaped air guide plate 34 extending upward from the outside of the rhombic slits 32 and covering the slits 32 spaced at a predetermined distance from said plate 34. Hot air jetted from the slits 32 perpendicularly to the base plate 30 is blown as a strong jet by the plate 34 in the direction parallel to the strip toward the inside of the base plate 30.
