Abstract

PURPOSE: To facilitate the altering of a cooling capacity by a method wherein passing strip bodies are sandwiched to be assembled in sets while being arranged to allow removing thereof in the direction of passing thereof to form a plurality of sets of main frames and a plurality of axial fans are directly or indirectly mounted on the main frames with a blow port facing both the surfaces of the strip bodies. CONSTITUTION: Upper and lower main frames 2 and 3 in which strip steel plates 1 horizontally passing are sandwiched from above and below to be assembled in sets are arranged in four sets along the direction of passing thereof and the upper main frame 2 comprises struts 21 erected at four corners and a rectangular frame 22 on which the top parts of the respective struts are connected. An upper fan mounting frame 4 is hung on the rectangular frame 22 of the upper main frame 2 through an adjusting bolt 6. The frame 4 has a front frame 4a, a middle frame 4b and a rear frame 4c toward the direction of passing the steel plates and moreover, a left frame 4d and a right frame 4e, which comprise a lip channel steel material. The steel plates 1 heated for drying are fed along the direction of passing thereof (from right to left in the drawing) and enters a cooler A to be cooled on both upper and lower surfaces thereof by a cold air jet from the axial fan 7.
