A cooling conveyor arrangement for rolled wire or wire rod which has left a water cooler has a loop-forming device which deposits the wire in overlapping loops on an air-cooling conveyor. To obtain a shorter cooling path, which is desirable for high-grade steels to reduce the rate of cooling, the loops fall onto a conveyor portion and are carried by a conveyor portion to a coil-forming station where the loops are collected. To obtain a longer cooling path a removable conveyor portion is switched into place so that the loops are carried along a conveyor portion to an opening where they fall onto a conveyor portion. A conveyor portion is swung into alignment with the portion carrying the loops to feed the loops to the coil-forming station.

A cooling conveyor arrangement for the cooling of hot-rolled wire or wire rod, comprising a loop-forming device for depositing the wire or rod in spread-out, mutually overlapping loops, a single coil-forming station for collecting the loops, a conveyor having at least two branches of different lengths for conveying the loops between the loop-forming device and the coil-forming station while the loops cool and transfer means on said conveyor for guiding the loops selectively onto portions of different lengths of the conveyor.
