Rolling Mill Cooling Bed
Efficient Cooling Solutions
forRolling Mill Production Lines
Rolling Mill Cooling Bed is a key auxiliary equipment in rolling mill production lines, mainly used for controlled cooling, conveying, and temporary storage of hot rolled products after rolling and cutting. The cooling bed plays a vital role in ensuring product straightness, dimensional stability, surface quality, and mechanical properties. A well-designed cooling bed not only improves finished product quality but also enhances overall production efficiency and automation level of the rolling mill.
Our Rolling Mill Cooling Beds are engineered for bar, wire rod, section steel, plate, and seamless tube rolling lines. With optimized structural design, reliable transmission systems, and flexible configuration options, our cooling beds can meet different production capacities, product sizes, and plant layouts. They are widely applied in modern steel plants and rolling mill projects worldwide.
Applications
Rolling Mill Cooling Beds are suitable for a wide range of rolling mill products, including:
- Bars and wire rods
- Angle steel, channel steel, I-beams, and H-beams
- Flat steel and special sections
- Seamless steel tubes and pipes
- Plates and strips (after hot rolling or sizing)
Cooling beds can be installed after hot saws, flying shears, or cold cutting equipment, serving as an essential link between rolling and finishing processes.
Key Advantages for Steel Producers
1. Uniform and Controlled Cooling
The cooling bed ensures even heat dissipation of rolled products, preventing bending, twisting, and internal stress concentration. Controlled cooling improves mechanical properties and dimensional stability of finished products.
2. Improved Product Straightness and Quality
Through optimized support and conveying mechanisms, the cooling bed helps maintain product straightness and reduces deformation during the cooling process, resulting in better shape accuracy and surface quality.
3. High Adaptability and Flexible Design
Our rolling mill cooling beds can be designed as walking beam cooling beds, chain-type cooling beds, rake-type cooling beds, or step-type cooling beds. Layout and length can be customized to match production capacity and workshop space.
4. Stable Operation and Long Service Life
Using high-strength steel structures, wear-resistant components, and reliable drive systems, the cooling bed operates stably under continuous high-temperature conditions with low maintenance requirements.
5. Enhanced Automation and Productivity
Cooling beds can be integrated with automatic counting, grouping, stacking, and transfer systems, reducing manual handling and improving overall line automation and labor efficiency.
