A device for handling and/or transporting work rolls and/or support rolls of a roll stand, by which the work rolls and/or support rolls can be brought from the roll stand into a roll workshop by a locomotive movable on a track. In order to be able to handle and transport different rolls using just one locomotive, without complicated coupling mechanisms, at least two tracks disposed at different heights are provided, on which a roll can be moved by the locomotive, and a lifting table is available, which is intended and suitable for raising or lowering the locomotive to one of the at least two different heights in order to bring it onto the respective track.

Device for handling and/or transporting rolls of a roll stand

The invention relates to a rolling installation comprising a roll stand () for rolling a metal strip and a suction device () for sucking polluted air from the immediate environment of the metal strip to be rolled. The aim of the invention is to structurally simplify the suction device. To this end, the inlet guiding region () is defined on one side by an inlet guiding plate () and the inlet suction channel () is connected to the inlet guiding region () via an opening (-O) in the inlet guiding plate (). The same arrangement can be applied to the discharge suction channel () and the discharge guiding region ().
