  • Apparatus for the descaling of rolled metal stock
    Patent number: 6119323
    Abstract: Structural shapes are descaled with water or air jets from a distributor beam in the form of a tube bundle extending across the path of the structural shape and rotatable to juxtapose a selected nozzle array with the structural shape. The nozzle arrays on the distributor have different nozzle patterns depending upon spray distribution required for the particular structural shape and upon a change in the rolling pattern, the distributor can be rotated about the distributor axis to bring one or another of its arrays into operation.
