A contactless braking system and a related method for decelerating long products (bi) exiting from a rolling mill (100). At least one braking module (6) includes a multiplicity of electromagnets (60) in a series along a braking line (1b). Each magnet has an open magnetic core (61) and a coil (62) around the magnetic core (61). The open magnetic core (61) has a gap formed by two opposed poles. The electromagnets (60) are configured so that the gap of each open magnetic core (61) lets contactlessly slide therethrough each long product (bi) exiting from the rolling mill (100). A braking magnetic force (Fd) is exerted on the long product (bi) contactlessly sliding through the gap. The braking magnetic force (Fd) is opposite to the direction of movement of the long product (bi) exiting the rolling mill (100).

A bar unloading apparatus of the revolver type, comprising: a longitudinal rotor (10) divided into at least three longitudinal stretches (11, 12, 13) integral with one another and adapted to rotate about a longitudinal rotation axis, on the outer longitudinal surfaces of which there is provided a plurality of longitudinal channels, extending on the at least three stretches over the whole longitudinal extension of the rotor (10) and parallel to said longitudinal axis, to receive respective longitudinal bars, and at least one braking device for braking the longitudinal bars entering in at least one of the longitudinal channels, wherein the at least one braking device is integrated in at least one first stretch (12) of said at least three longitudinal stretches (11, 12, 13), is rotationally fixed to the longitudinal rotor (10) and is provided with braking elements (1) in each of said longitudinal channels so that said at least one braking device can rotate together with the longitudinal rotor (10) and brake the longitudinal bars even during a rotation of the longitudinal rotor (10).
