Abstract (en)
The metal product is supported by means of a plurality of back-up rolls extending over the width of the metal product and following each other along the path followed by this product. A layer of a pressurized cooling liquid is formed individually at the surface of at least one back-up roll (3), extending in a longitudinal direction substantially over the entire length of the back-up roll (3) and in a circumferential direction over an arc corresponding to an angle at the centre of at least 90 DEG . The layer of pressurized cooling liquid is substantially diametrically opposite the region of contact of the back-up roll (3) with the metal product (1). At least a portion of the pressurized cooling liquid is caused to flow over the lateral surface of the back-up roll (3) and, preferably, also over the lateral surface of the metal product (1). The device comprises a hydrostatic journal bearing (4) extending over the entire length of the back-up roll (3), as well as means (5; 8; 9; 11) for guiding the cooling liquid over the back-up roll (3) and over the metal product (1). <IMAGE>
