CSP-continuous casting plant with an additional rolling line

Abstract

A continuous casting plant ( 1 ) includes at least one continuous casting line, optionally, at least one reducing unit, at least one separation device, and one or more devices for tempering the strip, and at least one auxiliary rolling line is arranged parallel to the continuous casting line with conveyors ( 10, 10 ′) for inwardly transferring different slab formats into the line of the continuous casting plant ( 1 ).

1 . A continuous casting plant, comprising a CSP-continuous casting line having metal casting means, a separation device for separating a solidified cast stock in thin slab length, tempering means located downstream of the separating device, and a rolling mill train for reducing thickness of the thin slab length; at least one further rolling line arranged parallel to the CSP-continuous casting line for reducing thickness of slab formats having a thickness that exceeds thickness of CSP-continuous casting line to thickness of slab produced in the at least one CSP-continuous casting line to thickness of slab produced in the at least one CSP-continuous casting line and having at least one of break-down train and a sheet rolling will stand for reducing thickness of slabs to an entry thickness of the CSP-continuous casting line; and means located downstream of the sheet rolling mill train for inwardly transferring thickness-reduced slab formats into the CSP-continuous casting line. 
     
     
         2 . A continuous casting plant according to  claim 1  wherein the inwardly transferring means comprises at least one of pivoting and parallel conveyors for inwardly transferring the slabs in the CSP-continuous casting line. 
     
     
         3 . A continuous casting plant according to  claim 1 , wherein the at least one pivoting and parallel conveyors are formed at least partially as hearth furnaces. 
     
     
         4 . A continuous casting plant according to  claim 1 , wherein the thickness of the inwardly transferrable stabs is reduced to 40-70 mm. 
     
     
         5 . A continuous casting plant according to  claim 1 , wherein the rolling mill train is a finishing train and wherein a cooling line and a reel are arranged downstream of the finishing train. 
     
     
         6 . A continuous casting plant according to  claim 5 , further comprising shears arranged downstream of the cooling line. 
     
     
         7 . A continuous casting plant according to  claim 1 , wherein the at least one break-down train comprises horizontal and vertical edging stands.
