The Automatic Rake Type Cooling Bed is a highly engineered system used in rolling mills to cool and straighten hot rolled products like TMT bars, RCS (Round Corner Squares), flats, angles, channels, beams, and other special profiles. Its design ensures uniform cooling, which enhances metallurgical properties and imparts superior straightness to the material.
With over 40 years of industry experience, we have been delivering cooling bed solutions trusted by leading steel producers worldwide. Our advanced systems ensure uniform cooling for improved mechanical properties and superior product quality. Each cooling bed is custom engineered to match specific production requirements, mill layouts, and product ranges. Backed by end-to-end support, from design and manufacturing to commissioning and after-sales service, we deliver reliable and efficient solutions for modern steel rolling mills.
The Automatic Rake Type Cooling Bed is versatile and can be equipped with various entry systems depending on the product type, size, and rolling speed.
Bars are placed on rake arms where natural air cooling begins.
Bars are aligned with the help rollers to ensure alignment during layer formation.
Bars are collected and layered on the forming chain.
Formed layers are transferred onto the run-out roller table.
This equipment is specialized for alloy rounds, RCS, hexagons, flats, and bright bars. The kick-off mechanism transfers single strands of products sized between 100 mm and 200 mm onto the cooling bed. Unlike high-speed systems, this operates at slower speeds (up to 4 m/sec), allowing controlled cooling and straightening of specialty products where metallurgical precision is critical.
