Abstract
Abstract Roll-type briquetting machines employed for high temperature operations such as in the compaction and briquette making of heated, reduced iron ore are cooled by the use of a flexible internal cooling system employing water. The flexibility of the machine requires that mold segments be removable from the rolls. This system provides means for circulating water through the roll segments from a common source and maintaining uniform temperature on the surface of each segment on the rolls.
