The present disclosure illustrates a cooling system for an extrusion press having three containers for carrying heated billets, the containers being succeedingly positioned in a number of different stations incident to the operation of the press. In one of these stations, the containers are cooled after extrusion. This cooling is accomplished by supporting a non-rotating but axially movable cooling jacket on the central container hub that carries the containers. Special hose systems connected to the jacket carry the cooling water to and from each container, but it is only the container in the cooling station, if cooling is required, that is cooled. This is performed by providing a valve for each container which is carried by the rotatable containers and which is separately operated when in the cooling station.
