METHOD FOR OPERATING AN INSTALLATION BASED ON THE CSP CONCEPT

摘要

The invention relates to an installation and a method for producing metal strips, preferably steel strips, of a thickness of 0.8 to 25 mm in batch mode or semi-continuous mode, comprising at least one casting machine (1) for casting thin slabs and a rolling device (5, 8) arranged downstream of the at least one casting machine (1) and comprising a number of rolling stands for rolling thin slabs into metal strips of a predetermined thickness, and also at least one coiling device (11) arranged downstream of the rolling device (5, 8), wherein a shear (6) and a furnace (3) are arranged between the at least one casting machine (1) and the rolling device (5, 8), wherein the rolling device has a device for changing the roll gap of at least one rolling stand during the rolling operation and there is a control device, which controls the installation in such a way that switching over from batch mode to semi-continuous mode or back takes place according to the grade of metal, preferably the grade of steel, and the desired thickness of the metal strip to be produced, and that the switching over from batch mode to semi-continuous mode can take place in the course of the rolling operation by the rolling device.
