摘要:
An apparatus for scraping the surface of a sink roll in a molten metal coating process comprises a support member having a pair of linearly movable arms supported thereon. The support member depends from a bridge structure spanning a continuous metal coating line, and a pair or arms, the arms being disposed on opposite sides of said support member. Each arm has a scraper assembly portion attached thereto. Each scraper assembly portion has two blades affixed thereto, a forward scraper blade and a rear scraper blade, with a connecting portion connecting the two blades. The connecting portion also has a first pivot point for attaching the connecting portion to the arm associated with the scraper assembly portion, the first pivot point being disposed between said forward and rear scraper blades for following the radial contours of the roll surface. A second pivot point permits the blades to follow the crown of the roll. Pneumatic cylinders advance the arms such that at least one scraper blade presses against the roll surface under pressure. There is also control means for controlling the pressure of the scraping force of said blades applied to the roll surface. A traversing means provides for communicating lateral movement of said blades laterally along the axis of the roll while scraping against the roll.
