Stable strip in coil coating lines
EMG eMASS® is a turnkey system for stabilising fast running ferromagnetic steel strips based on electromagnets. The main field of application is the process optimisation and saving of metal coating at the air knife of a hot-dip galvanising, GALVALUME®* or aluminising line.
The system is installed directly above the nozzle - as close as possible to the nozzle lip that blows off the liquid metal layer. With the experience of over 50 successful installations worldwide, EMG guarantees customised, optimal integration of eMASS® in the air knife area.

Individual solution for every type of air knife
As the market leader with a large number of different integration solutions worldwide, EMG will find the optimal solution for you.
The better the strip stabilisation system is integrated into the air knife arrangement and the closer the strip stabilisation system is located to the level of the air knife lips (i.e. the actual point of technology), the better the results for vibration damping and crossbow reduction.
To achieve this goal, from the installations realised so far a wide variety of solutions are available to integrate EMG eMASS® into an existing or new system above the blow-off nozzle.
The supports can, for example, be straight or cranked in order to arrange the EMG eMASS® actuator housings as close as possible to the air knife lip in combination with the order-related design of the support structure. Here flexible adapters for individual situations exist. Depending on the respective air knife, its vertical and horizontal travel possibilities and load capacities, the support structure can be attached to the air knife, for example at the air knife height adjustment or on the plant floor. Versions with horizontal movement of the beams as well as vertical adjustment of the beams or the actuator housings are possible.
For many years, in close cooperation with DUMA-BANDZINK GmbH, the ”Integrated Solution“ with complete mechanical and electrical integration of EMG eMASS® in the air knife has been offered and successfully used worldwide.
