The key to success is higher cooling rate, better cooling accuracy and uniform cooling across the length and width. Many existing Plate Mills have insufficient cooling capability or no cooling equipment at all. These Plate Mills need to add or improve their cooling capacity in order to respond to the end customer demand. However, every plant has a unique layout and hence it is difficult to incorporate a standard machine to all these customers. This paper illustrates several design techniques that has been adopted to incorporate a standard cooling machine in to existing Plate and Plate Steckel Mills. Since 2002, Primetals Technologies has commissioned many MULPIC® (MULti Purpose Interrupted Cooling) machines in plate mills around the world. Until recently, most of these installations were standard MULPIC® machines of 24m in length. However, some of the existing plate
