Long Product Cooling Bed
Long Product Cooling Bed
A cooling bed consists of a drive system that cycles fixed and moving rakes. The rakes then “walk” the product across the cooling bed as it cools at a predetermined rate. The cooling rate is dependant on the required structure of the material. Each type of cooling bed needs an entry and exit solution to prevent damage to the product.
GMB Heavy Industries has long been recognized for its expertise in the production of quality long product cooling beds. Our original focus was to service the steel industry’s cooling beds. We achieved our goal by offering Engineering, Manufacturing and Installation Services. We offer both standard lines and custom designed equipment.
