Abstract

The invention relates to a foundry rolling unit, comprising a first production line, with at least one casting machine, the thin slabs of which may be introduced into at least one tunnel furnace, whereby said tunnel furnace opens out into at least one finishing train, with at least one mill stand. After leaving the finishing train the rolled hot strips may be introduced into at least one cooling run and may be rolled on at least one coiler. The foundry rolling unit furthermore comprises a second production line arranged in an at least partly parallel manner in terms of production, with at least one slab introducing device, through which the slabs may be introduced into at least one reheating oven and at least one cogging stand arranged thereafter.

Claims14

Dependent claims

A foundry rolling unit, which comprises the following features:

a first production line with at least one casting machine, the thin slabs of which can be fed to at least one tunnel furnace, the tunnel furnace opening out into at least one finishing train with at least one mill stand, and, after leaving the finishing train, the rolled hot strips being able to be fed to at least one cooling line and rolled up onto at least one coiler,
a second production line, arranged in an at least partly parallel manner in terms of production, with at least one slab feeding device, by which the slabs can be fed to at least one reheating furnace, and at least one cogging stand arranged downstream thereof, and the rolled pre-strips being able to be accepted as coils by at least one coil box,
a coil transporting device, by which the coils can be transferred before the finishing train from the second production line into the first production line, the coils being able to be removed from the coil box and transported to the input of the finishing train for the feeding of the pre-strips.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
