A strip flotation furnace for controlling the temperature of a metal strip has a flotation nozzle bar extending through the furnace transversely to a strip running direction of the strip. The flotation nozzle bar has two opposing first flotation nozzle rows spaced apart by a central region of the flotation nozzle bar. The rows are set up so that corresponding flotation nozzle jets, with a directional component toward the central region, can be generated to provide pressure cushioning for metal strip guiding. A temperature-control nozzle bar extends transversely to and is spaced apart from the flotation nozzle bar along the strip running direction. The temperature-control nozzle bar has two additional opposing temperature-control nozzle rows spaced apart by an additional temperature-control nozzle bar central region. These rows are set up so that corresponding temperature-control nozzle jets, with a directional component opposite to the additional central region, can be generated.

The present invention relates to a continuous furnace system for heat treating a metal component, in particular an aluminium strip. The continuous furnace system has a first heating unit, in which the metal component is heatable for solution annealing up to a first temperature in the range of from 350&#xb0; C. to 700&#xb0; C., a cooling unit, in which the metal component is coolable from 300&#xb0; C. to 750&#xb0; C. down to 70&#xb0; C. to 250&#xb0; C., and a second heating unit, in which the metal component is heatable up to from 150&#xb0; C. to 290&#xb0; C. The first heating unit, the cooling unit, and the second heating unit both have a common support structure, on which the first heating unit, the cooling unit, and the second heating unit are fixed together. Furthermore, the continuous furnace system has a common conveyor track, which extends through the first heating unit, the cooling unit, and the second heating unit, wherein the conveyor track is configured in such a way that the metal component is passable along the conveyor track in the conveying direction through the first heating unit, the cooling unit, and the second heating unit for heat treatment.
