Water cooling device for wire

A water cooling device for a controlled cooling of wire, small sections, and ribbed concrete wire guided along a wire rod guiding line out of a rolling heat, the water cooling device comprising:

• a support frame configured to be parallel-slidable;
• parallel, adjacently arranged cooling water pipelines forming a water cooling stretch, each one of the cooling water pipelines having a different inner diameter and being mounted on the support frame;
• water boxes arranged spaced apart along the cooling water pipelines;
• each one of the cooling water pipelines comprised of cooling water pipes having an inner pipe diameter matching the inner diameter of the correlated cooling water pipeline, wherein the cooling water pipes are arranged in the water boxes;
• each one of the cooling water pipelines further comprising guide grooves positioned between the water boxes and configured to connect the cooling water pipes of each one of the cooling water pipelines with one another;
• wherein the cooling water pipelines are configured such that, by parallel-sliding of the support frame in a direction perpendicular to a wire rod guiding line, each one of the cooling water pipelines is positionable in the wire rod guiding line so that the wire rod is guidable in all of the cooling wire pipes.
