Anyone know what's going on here? Is this how fruit roll-ups are made?

Safe bet is paint wastes no time drying. Wonder how long it takes roll cooling to ambient temperature. The conveyor is end of line, tipping them upright to save 'manual' handling. A guess says they are banding hot-roll steel to cool and store. Probably craned using a spar to reach through and move all three at a time. Coils get heavy enough that 2 or 3 comprise a truckload. If cold rolled, these could go on a tube line, even formed into rectangular/ square, or channel. A lot of material you see being transported is flat, but straightened and cut from same type of rolls, saving remnant waste.
Those could have been the very coils we used on our "C" purlin machine in Kuwait
What are they spraying the hot metal with to mark it?
Here is one company who makes stencil marking products to withstand heats up to 2300°fQuote:
