Abstract
A transfer device for billets or blooms of a multistrand continuous casting installation for metals, especially steel, with associated cutting stations, devices for removing the dummy bar out of the outfeed lines as well as for the storage thereof and a transverse transport device for the cut lengths of the hot strand. The devices for removal of the dummy bars out of the outfeed lines, the storage devices of which are arranged approximately parallel to the outfeed lines and the transverse transport device are dispositioned partially within the cutting paths of the hot strands. The method for operating such transfer device contemplates that after the cut lengths of the hot strands have reached their predetermined lowered position they are initially brought into a preparatory or waiting position between the related outfeed line and the transverse transport device.
