Abstract

A high-capacity wire rolling mill including a wire train and/or rod steel train for concrete reinforcing steel and simple carbon steels, further including a continuous casting plant or a continuous casting wheel for high production, a direct interconnection of the continuous casting plant or casting wheel to the rolling mill, a buffer furnace between the continuous casting plant or the casting wheel and the rolling mill for compensating production differences and smaller rolling mill interruptions, a compact roughing train and intermediate train I, a unit calibration for the train sections, looping by 180.degree. behind the intermediate train I, an intermediate train II for producing thick finished dimensions or preliminary cross-sections with the possibility of quick stand exchanges, a finishing train also with the possibility of quick stand exchanges, the arrangement of the finishing train extending parallel to the intermediate train II, a common water cooling stretch for and displaceable between the two parallel finishing lines, and a winding reel arrangement displaceable between the two finishing lines instead of a subsequently arranged equalizing stretch.
