Casting-rolling installation, and method for producing a steel strip

Abstract

A casting-rolling installation and a corresponding method serve for producing a steel strip that runs through the casting-rolling installation in a conveying direction. The casting-rolling installation includes a two-roller casting device with two casting rollers that are each arranged mounted rotatably about axes aligned axially parallel to one another and at the same height. A cast steel strip is produced by the two-roller casting device. A rolling mill stand for rolling the cast steel strip is mounted downstream of the casting device in the direction of conveyance of the steel strip. The rolling mill stand is arranged relative to the casting device in such a manner that a roll nip inlet of the rolling mill—as seen in the vertical direction—is located with respect to the position of the axes of the casting rollers at the same height or above same.
