Abstract
A device for wiping liquids from the surface of moving metal strip under tension, such as strip produced by cold rolling mills. The device consists of a plurality of rollers, between which the strip passes, where each roller is supported by a plurality of pairs of casters. The caster pairs are spring mounted in a pair of frames, the frames being urged together by fluid powered cylinders, so that the rollers are held against the strip surfaces under pressure, thus wiping the strip surface by preventing passage of liquid on the strip surface past the rollers. The caster are arranged so that the number of rollers can be changed by shifting and removing or adding rollers. In one embodiment, the device can be converted between three and four roller arrangements.
