The invention relates to a method for removing liquids from the surface of a strip. Said method is characterised in that the liquid is excited in such a way that it oscillates. The invention is based on the fact that the root of the problem relating to the removal of liquids from the surface of a strip lies in the adhesion forces. Said adhesion forces can be overcome by exciting the liquid in such a way that it oscillates. The oscillation causes the liquid to detach itself from the surface of the strip and the liquid can then be easily removed, for example, by suction by means of low pressure, blowing or stripping by means of a stripper. |
