Compact plant for continuous production of bars and/or profiles

Method for continuous production and packaging of bars and/or profiles, by a compact production plant as claimed in one or more of the previous claims, wherein the plant incorporates

• a steel plant station,
• a continuous casting station (3),
• a rolling station (6, 7, 8) directly linked to the continuous casting station (3),
• a finishing station comprising a packaging apparatus (9), said stations being all in line without intermediate interruption points,
• the method comprising the following stages:
• a) melting scrap to obtain liquid steel and secondary metallurgy operations by meams of the steel plant station,
• b) casting the liquid steel by casting means in the continuous casting station (3)
• c) rolling the billets by means of several stands in the rolling station (6, 7, 8) directly linked to the continuous casting station (3),
• d) performing packaging operations of the bars and/or profiles by means of the packaging apparatus (9) of a finishing station,
• wherein said stages from a) to d) take place in succession without any interruption between one stage and the next and wherein the packaging operations comprise a stage of cutting directly at commercial length, at rolling speed, the still hot bars and/or profiles of indefinite length, delivered from the last rolling stand of said rolling station (6, 7, 8) into bar segments, by means of a first shear (10) placed at the exit of the last rolling stand, and forming packs or bundles of a defined weight ready for sale.
