Abstract
A rolling mill comprises a plurality of rolls, means for directing liquid coolant onto the rolls at the ingoing side of the mill and a casing or casings enclosing the directing means. The casing or casings have contact seals engaging the rolls to prevent unwanted egress of coolant onto work entering the mill. The means for directing coolant onto the rolls are mounted on one or more fixed backing supports and inflatable sealing means are arranged between the casing or casings and the fixed backing support or supports. The arrangement enables the position of the casing or casings to adjust dependent on the roll diameters.
