Abstract
An installation for the manufacture of hot rolled steel strips is disclosed which reduces the constructions costs, energy expenditure and space consumed. The installation comprises at least two thin slab casters, arrangements for preheating and/or keeping the thin slabs at a particular temperature and a hot finishing rolling train. Two thin slab casters 1 and 2 are disposed to face each other and have opposite billet output conveyance, with a cut-to-length line 20, 21, a two-high furnace 22, 23 with superimposed roller tables 27, 28 and a transfer furnace 24, 25 with a roller table 34. The height of the roller table is adjustable to match the superimposed roller tables 27, 28 of the two-high furnace 22, 23 and is located downstream of each thin slab caster 1, 2. Lower roller tables 28 of the two-high furnaces 22, 23 are interconnected by an intermediate roller table 32, extending beneath the continuous casters 1, 2 and are connected with the rolling mill feed roller table 6 by a roller table 34 of an adjustable height transfer furnace 33.
