Abstract
A device for the alternate winding-up and unwinding of strip-shaped material, particularly strand-cast thin slabs in furnace pairs, consisting of two furnaces that are located one above the other and have horizontal winding axles, in which the furnaces can be swung from a winding-up position in an unwinding position and the winding-up and unwinding take place at different speeds. To permit winding-up in one of the two furnaces and unwinding in the other furnace to occur simultaneously and in different directions, each furnace of a furnace pair is pivotable around a vertical axis independent of the other furnace.
Claims7
A device for alternate winding-up and unwinding of strip-shaped material, comprising furnace pairs having two furnaces located one above the other and having horizontal winding axles, the furnaces being adapted to be swung out of a winding-up position into an unwinding position, winding-up and unwinding taking place at different speeds, each furnace of each furnace pair being independently pivotable around a common vertical axis so that each furnace of the pair can pivot independently of the other furnace of the pair.
