Steel plant for the production of long metal products comprising:
- a continuous casting machine;
- a rolling mill disposed downstream of the continuous casting machine;
- one or more transfer paths for the semifinished cast products, configured to connect the continuous casting machine and the rolling mill;
- and further comprising:
- at least one maintenance and/or heating furnace to maintain at temperature and/or to heat semifinished cast products, disposed near the transfer paths;
- a discharge plate for the semifinished cast products;
- an aerial transfer device configured to transfer rapidly by aerial path semifinished cast products between the one or more transfer paths, the maintenance and/or heating furnace and/or the discharge plate.
Method for the production of long metal products, comprising continuous casting, rolling downstream of the continuous casting and transfer of semifinished cast products by means of one or more transfer paths from continuous casting to rolling, and further comprising:
- maintaining at temperature and/or heating semifinished cast products in a maintenance and/or heating furnace at the one or more transfer paths between casting and rolling;
- discharging semifinished cast products in a discharge plate;
- rapid transfer by aerial path of semifinished cast products between the one or more transfer paths, the maintenance and/or heating furnace and/or the discharge plate.
