Abstract
A modular rolling train, particularly a hot rolling train, preferably in conjunction with an upstream casting facility, and a method for operating a modular rolling train are described. The rolling train is standardized and modularized by dividing the rolling train into discrete units n and by modularization of the discrete units. The rolling train can be flexibly adapted to new requirements by exchanging a module.

-21. (canceled)
A modular rolling train, comprising:
- at least one heat treatment unit,
- a roughing rolling unit,
- a finishing rolling unit, and
- a transport unit for forming a metallic starting product into a finished product along a throughput section of the starting product through the rolling train,
- wherein the rolling train is subdivided into discrete units along the throughput section,
- wherein at least one of the discrete units is a subdivided discrete unit comprising at least two modules, and
- wherein at least one of the at least two modules of the subdivided discrete unit can be exchanged with another module by a transport device assigned to the subdivided discrete unit.
