Abstract
A plant for producing hot-rolled steel strip in a production line includes a continuous slab casting plant, transverse cutting shears, a continuous furnace and a hot-rolling train. The continuous furnace includes a first stationary section and a second section formed with two moveable furnaces, wherein the moveable furnaces can be moved transversely between the production line and a lateral holding position. The length of the first furnace section corresponds to at least the length of the distance which is travelled at casting speed by the newly formed front end of the cast slab by transverse cutting from the transverse cutting unit to a point in front of that moveable furnace which is located in the production line after the exchange of moveable furnaces has been carried out.
