Method to manage an insulated cooling bed placed downstream of at least one continuous casting machine with one or more feeder ways (12a, 12b, 12c, 12d) and upstream of an outlet rollerway (20) associated with a reheating and temperature-equalisation furnace (15) serving a rolling mill (16), the cooling bed (11) comprising at the inlet a first bridge crane transfer (21a) to load the billets (13) from the feeder ways (12a, 12b, 12c, 12d) and cooperating at the outlet with a bench (14) to collect the billets (13), wherein the first bridge crane transfer (21a) removes the billets (13) from one rollerway (12) or the other and lays them gradually onto the cooling bed (11) insulated at least at the lower part, a second bridge crane transfer (21b) removes the billets (13) from one or another rollerway (12) or from the cooling bed (11) and lays the billets (13) on the outlet rollerway (20) or on the collection bench (14), the billets (13) being made to advance on the cooling bed (11) rotating on their axis. Cooling bed placed between at least a continuous casting machine and a rolling mill (16), including upstream one or more feeder rollerways (12) and downstream an outlet rollerway (20) associated with a bench (14) to collect cold billets and with a reheating and temperature-equalisation furnace (15), the bed comprising positioning seatings (19) for the billets (13) and a first bridge crane transfer (21a), the cooling bed (11) including at least at the lower part an insulated containing structure (18) and comprising a second bridge crane transfer (21b) which is driven autonomously and independently in relation to the first bridge crane transfer (21a), the second bridge crane transfer (21b) being functionally associated at least with the feeder rollerways (12), the positioning seatings (19) for the billets (13) and the outlet rollerway (20).
Method to manage an insulated cooling bed placed downstream of at least one continuous casting machine with one or more feeder ways and upstream of an outlet rollerway associated with a reheating and temperature-equalisation furnace serving a rolling mill, the cooled bed comprising at the inlet a first bridge crane transfer to load the billets from the one or more feeder ways and cooperating at the outlet with a bench to collect the billets, the method comprising removing the billets from the one or more feeder ways with the first bridge crane transfer and laying them gradually onto the cooling bed insulated at least at the lower part, removing the billets from the one or more feeder ways or from the cooling bed with a second bridge crane transfer and laying the billets on the outlet rollerway or on the collection bench, the billets being made to advance on the cooling bed rotating on their axis.
Cooling bed placed between at least a continuous casting machine and a rolling mill, including upstream one or more feeder rollerways and downstream an outlet rollerway associated with a bench to collect cold billets and with a reheating and temperature-equalisation furnace, the bed comprising positioning seatings (19) for the billets and a first bridge crane transfer, the cooling bed being characterised in that it includes at least at the lower part an insulated containing structure and comprises a second bridge crane transfer which is driven autonomously and independently in relation to the first bridge crane transfer (21a), the second bridge crane transfer being functionally associated at least with the feeder rollerways, the positioning seatings for the billets and the outlet rollerway.
