Abstract

See full text

Provided are a molten metal plating facility and a method with which degradation in the surface quality of a strip can be prevented by preventing the adhesion of splashes. In a molten metal plating facility and a method for plating a strip (S) with molten metal by guiding the strip (S) into a molten metal bath (Mm) and then guiding the strip (S) upward, a pair of wiping nozzles (12a, 12b) disposed so as to face a front surface side and a back surface side of the strip (S) guided upward is used to discharge air streams (Ea, Eb) toward a collision point (A) inside the strip (S) such that the first air streams spread out in a strip width direction of the strip (S), and a pair of outer nozzles (15a, 15b) disposed so as to face a front surface side and a back surface side of an extended plane on an outer side of the strip (S) with respect to the strip width direction, above the wiping nozzles (12a, 12b) and on each of both outer sides of the strip (S) with respect to the strip width direction is used to discharge air streams (Fa, Fb) toward a collision point (B) within the extended plane and below the collision point (A).
