A device for discharging exhaust air from the surroundings of a metal strip. The device has air quantity boosters with an opposing suction device on the other side of the conveying path in the blowing direction in order to suction and discharge the airflow generated by the air quantity boosters together with the exhaust air. In order to reduce costs for the operation of the device, a sensor device is provided in order to detect whether the metal strip is present or not and at which speed the metal strip is being moved. Additionally, a controller is provided in order to adjust the delivery rate of the air quantity boosters and the suction device depending on the measured speed.
