Abstract
A coiling system for thin steel strip which avoids problems of thin steel strip winding on its pinch rolls and assures that the strip is guided towards the predetermined coiling roll, thus decreasing operational delays and increasing productivity of a thin gage hot rolling steel strip mill. The system comprises a flap guide positionable in at least two positions, a first position contacting a pinch roll during the initial threading period of each strip to be coiled, and a second normal operating position without contact with said pinch roll when the strip is being wound in said predetermined coiler. The flap guide may also be used in multiple coiler rolls systems and may be adapted for automatic operation.
