Abstract

Coolant is applied to the rolls (12-14) of a rolling mill at the ingoing side of the mill by nozzles (22) which are located in casings (23, 24). The casings are sealed to the rolls by contact seals (25, 26, 30, 31) and by edge seals (19) so that coolant is entirely contained within the casings and is prevented from coming into contact with the work being rolled (16). Roll lubricant is directed by nozzles 80 on to the work rolls (12, 13) and the work (16) outside the confines of the casings.
