Abstract
An assembly for treating metal products is presented. The assembly includes a preheat furnace aligned with a reheat furnace. Cold products are initially heated in the preheat furnace and hot products bypass the preheat furnace. A material handling device is provided for a) transferring preheated products from an outlet of the preheat furnace to an inlet of the reheat furnace, and for b) transferring hot products from a point between the furnaces to the inlet of the reheat furnace. The material handling device includes a support extending between the outlet of the preheat furnace and the inlet of the reheat furnace for receiving preheated and hot products; and a displacement device located below the support means for lifting and translating preheated and hot products from the support means to the inlet of the reheating means.
