Abstract

The invention relates to a device for cooling extruded profiles (2) comprising slotted air nozzles (6U, 6O) arranged above and below the extruded profile moving on an exit runway (1) and oriented transversely to the direction of movement of the profile, and water impingement nozzles (12) for impinging the extruded profile with water, wherein the water impingement nozzles are arranged separately from the slotted air nozzles (6U, 6O) in tubes (12) oriented in the direction of movement of the profile such that the impingement portions of the individual water impingement nozzles (12) supplement to achieve a homogenous impingement of the extruded profile (2).
