Cooling Bed
Rake-type cooling beds that receive hot bar from the mill, hold it straight while it cools and index it across to the shear and bundling end.
Discuss Your RequirementSpecified around the line—not selected from a generic list.
A cooling bed has to absorb the full rolling rate while keeping the bar straight. Rake pitch, tooth profile, indexing stroke, bed width and the entry braking arrangement follow directly from the section range, bar length and the cooling time the steel grade requires.
Engineering scope
- Rake-type cooling bed structures and rake bars
- Fixed and moving rake drive arrangements
- Entry braking slides and bar-arresting equipment
- Discharge aprons, run-out tables and aligning rolls
- Bed width, pitch and indexing set to the bar length
- Rake bar, tooth and wear-part replacement for existing beds
Typical applications
- 01TMT and reinforcement bar mills
- 02Rounds, flats, squares and angles
- 03Structural and section rolling mills
- 04Capacity upgrades on existing cooling beds
Questions buyers ask early
How is cooling bed size decided?
Bar length sets the bed length. The cooling time required at the finishing temperature, together with the rolling rate, sets the bed width and rake pitch. Section range and steel grade then influence tooth profile and indexing speed.
Can rake bars and teeth be replaced on an existing bed?
Rake bars, teeth and aligning components are regularly supplied as replacements. Working from the installed pitch and measured wear, they can be produced to the existing datum.
