Hot Bridle & Close Cooling Casing

We manufacture Hot Bridles and Close Cooling Casings for continuous process lines in the steel industry, such as galvanizing, annealing, and pickling lines. These systems are critical for controlling strip movement, temperature, and mechanical stability during high-speed processing of metal strips.

Hot Bridle

The Hot Bridle is a high-performance strip tensioning system positioned in the high-temperature zone of continuous lines. It uses a series of motorized rollers to control and maintain precise strip tension and speed between different processing sections. Engineered to withstand elevated temperatures, the hot bridle ensures smooth strip flow, reduces slippage, and prevents breakage during processing.

Key Features:

High-temperature-resistant construction

Precision-aligned motorized rollers for stable tension control

Integrated cooling systems (air or water-cooled) to protect mechanical and drive components

Compatible with automation systems for synchronized line operation

Close Cooling Casing

The Close Cooling Casing is used immediately after the furnace zone to rapidly cool the heated strip in a controlled manner. This casing encloses a cooling chamber where the strip is cooled using forced air or water mist systems, ensuring metallurgical properties and surface quality are maintained.

Key Features:

Enclosed casing design to minimize heat loss and external contamination

Optimized airflow and nozzle arrangement for uniform strip cooling

Constructed from heat- and corrosion-resistant materials

Easy access for maintenance and inspection

Together, the Hot Bridle and Close Cooling Casing systems play a vital role in ensuring product quality, line stability, and operational efficiency in high-speed steel processing lines. With in-house capabilities in precision engineering, thermal design, and automation, we deliver customized, durable, and high-performance solutions for the steel industry.
