The conveyor and collecting apparatus described obtains several advantages in conjunction with the controlled cooling of steel rod through transformation and the ultimate collection of the rod. The apparatus includes a first-level conveyor for passing steel rod immediately after rolling through a controlled cooling zone, where transformation occurs, and a second-level conveyor for receiving the transformed rod at the end of the first conveyor and for transporting the rod to a collecting apparatus. On both conveyors the rod is transported in the form of overlapping, non-concentric rings, although the rate of progression of both conveyors is not necessarily equal, and hence the degree of overlap of the rings may be different for each conveyor. The second conveyor includes means to vary the rate of transport of the rod rings, and also means to stop the conveyor operatively in conjunction with means to cut the rod. |
