Abstract

The present invention is concerned with an adjustable baffling system for uniformly cooling billet loads of metal. The baffles have been design to adjust automatically to the load of billets after insertion of a car containing the billets thereon in the chamber, thus reducing the chances of having billet loads of uneven compositions. The present system is particularly useful for uniform cooling of aluminum billets.
