A cooling device for cooling a metallic product has at least one cooling bar with a plurality of spraying regions which are adjacent in pairs defined by one or more moveable partition walls. Each spraying region has at least one spray nozzle for spraying a coolant onto the metallic product. A control device controls a pump and valves for individually adjusting pressure and/or volume flow of the coolant in each of the spraying regions. The one or more partition walls divide the interior of the cooling bar into at least two chambers, each of the spraying regions being assigned to a different one of the chambers. The partition wall is shaped at least approximately in accordance with a temperature distribution along a width section of the metallic product before it enters the cooling device. The partition wall is arranged in the cooling bar over this width section.

Cooling device and method for operating the same

A cooling apparatus for cooling a metallic material has at least one cooling beam with a plurality of coolant application elements for applying the metallic material with a coolant. In order to be able to adapt such known cooling apparatuses even more precisely to different temperature distributions across the width of the metallic material to be cooled the density of the cross-sectional areas of the outlet openings of the coolant application elements in the width direction y of the cooling beam be distributed or dimensioned according to the amount of the slope of the distribution of the temperature T(y) of the metallic material across its width before the inlet under the cooling beam. A method for cooling a metallic material so includes determining a temperature distribution of the metallic material to be cooled and producing or selecting a cooling beam to match the temperature distribution of the metallic material.

A system and method for removing flatness faults from a metal flat product, in particular a metal sheet or a strip, having multiple straightening rollers arranged on opposite sides of the flat product. In order to simplify and to enable more cost-efficient removal of flatness faults from a metal flat product, at least two cooperating straightening rollers arranged on opposite sides of the flat product each have at least three individually-adjustable partial rollers arranged axially adjacent to one another.

A system for overturning plate-shaped bodies, in particular slabs and sheets, having at least one overturn arm pivotally arranged about a pivot axis and can be brought into physical contact with a flat side of a plate-shaped body to be overturned, and at least one other overturn arm pivotally arranged about another pivot axis and can be brought into physical contact with another flat side of the plate-shaped body to be overturned. The two pivot axes are parallel to each other and mutually spaced. A permanent system is provided for overturning plate-shaped bodies with different dimensions, wherein noise generation associated with the overturning process is greatly reduced using the system. The system has at least one drivable eccentric arrangement with which a position of one of the pivot axes can be adjusted before and/or during an overturning process.

The invention concerns a method for cooling or quenching slabs and sheets () with water in a cooling pond () wherein the slabs and the sheets (), previously set upright by a tilting device (), are lowered and temporarily maintained in position on edge. The inventive method is characterized in that the slabs and the sheets are sprayed with the cooling water. Therefor, the cooling pond () has, on both sides of the lowered slabs and sheets () jet devices () directed towards the surfaces of the large sides of the slabs or sheets and connected to a cooling water circuit which comprises means for reducing the water filling supply from a maximum upper water level () to a lower water level ().

The invention relates to a device () for pushing metallic goods () off and onto a conveyor () in a direction (S) transverse to a conveying direction (F), wherein the device () has a displacement arm () displaceable relative to a stationary stand () and in an end region () of which, at least one gripping element () is arranged for gripping the metallic goods (). In order to be able to effect pushing of goods off of a conveyor and thereon in a simple and space-saving manner, the invention is characterized in that the displacement arm has at least two arm sections displaceable within each other in a telescopic manner.
