(54)	Method and system for feeding a coil of metal strip to an un-coiler and un-coiling the metal strip

(57) A system for uncoiling a metal strip coil for supplying uncoiled metal strip to a treatment line, such as pickling line or plant, a mill or so forth, comprises a combination of an uncoiler and a coil-opener which are arranged in series with respect to the transporting line. A metal strip coil is transported through the coil-opener to the uncoiler. During travel from the coil-opener to the uncoiler, the uncoiled end of the metal strip coil is held open so that the uncoiler may be able to uncoil without performing coil-opening operation.
