(57) Abstract :
The continuous plating apparatus is composed so that a pair of rolls, each of which faces each other via a steel belt in a vertical
direction to a running direction of the steel belt, are provided; a molten metal bath (a storage of molten metal) is formed at an interval
b
etween the pair of rolls and the steel belt by supplying continuously the molten metal to the interval; surface of the steel belt is plated
continuously by being passed through the molten metal bath; and the molten metal overflowed from the molten metal bath and flowed
through the upper portion of the pair of rolls is recovered by a recovery pan provided at the lower portion of the pair of rolls.
In accordance with the above composition, a large size molten metal pot in the conventional molten metal continuous plating
apparatus can be omitted, because surface of the steel belt is plated continuously by passing through the molten metal bath formed by
supplying the molten metal at an upper portion of the pair of rolls between the pair of rolls and the steel belt.
