Abstract
In an installation including a heating furnace in the rolling mill and a continuous casting apparatus, there is provided a transportable temperature holding chamber for the castings which are cut to length, in which chamber the castings are transported in groups from the continuous casting apparatus to the heating furnace, and are stored temporarily in the buffer mode. That makes it possible to save energy and to improve the quality of the steels.
