Abstract
A plurality of water removing nozzles of a water removing apparatus comprise one or more of a single far water removing nozzle and a far water removing nozzle group. The single far water removing nozzle forms a far end water removal single area that does not include one end but includes the other end in the width direction of a steel sheet conveyance plane. The far water removing nozzle group forms the far end water removal single area and one or more inner water removal single areas that do not include either end in the width direction of the steel sheet conveyance plane, in such a manner that the far end water removal single area and the one or more inner water removal single areas are aligned in order from the one end side to the other end side while overlapping with each other in the width direction of the steel sheet conveyance plane and aligned in order from the upstream side to the downstream side without overlapping in the conveyance direction.
