Objective

The objective of the project is to design a new controlled outlet circuit for the wiping gas, with the view to improve the wiping process efficiency. The wiping process presents several drawbacks, such as, high noise levels and vibrations of the strip, the large sensitivity of the knives-strip distance and the excessive oxidation of zinc. Noise reduction is of great importance to workers' health, safety and working attention. Decreasing the zinc oxidation or the splashing on tools and strips will improve the quality of the final product
