Abstract

A rolling-mill cooling unit has a cooling-unit conveyor transporting fanned-out loops of wire in a transport direction toward a coiler spaced downstream from the cooling-unit conveyor and serving to organize the fanned-out loops of wire into coils or bundles. A feeder conveyor extending in the direction has an upstream end juxtaposed with the cooling unit and a downstream end juxtaposed with the coiler and is operable to advance the loops of wire from the unit to the coiler. The entire feeder conveyor can be shifted relative to the coiler and to the cooling unit in the direction so as to displace the upstream and downstream ends relative to the cooling unit and coiler.
