The conveyor chute is wear-resistant and replaceable. The trough and hood of the vibrating conveyor form the cooling tunnel that can be arranged linearly or combined with curves. As a two-mass system, the vibrating conveyor secures the transport of casts through the cooling tunnel regardless of their load. A frame supported by compression springs reducing dynamic loads in the foundation completes the system. Frequency inverters control the drive motors. The cooling tunnel is supplied with cooling air by fans. For efficient cooling, a computer-controlled nozzle system systematically sprays water into the cooling air stream.
