Abstract
Apparatus separates a thin metal strip produced from a molten metal from a surface of a cooling roll by rapidly solidifying using a single roll method and conveys and guides the separated thin strip downstream. A separation/tensioning/guiding unit is positioned adjacent the cooling roll to separate tension and guide the rapidly solidified thin strip, which unit includes a cooperating doctor blade in pressure contact with the cooling roll. A suction conveyor is provided downstream of the separation/tensioning/guiding unit.
