An apparatus () for winding-up a metal strip () into a coil (), includes a clamping pair () formed of a deflection roller () and a pressure roller () and located in front of the coil () in a material flow direction () so that the strip () is retained under tensional stress with respect to the coil () and is so bendable that the strip (), which is provided with a corresponding pre-bend, is firmly wound into a coil (). The apparatus further includes a first bending roller () pressable against the deflection roller (), and arranged in front of the clamping pair () in the material flow direction (), and a further roller () adjustable relative to the deflection roller () and arranged behind the clamping pair () in the material flow direction (), with the pressure roller () and both bending rollers () being so displaceable relative to the deflection roller () that an end region () of the strip () is additionally curved to form the pre-bend dependent on an end diameter () of the coil ().

An arrangement for maintaining the warmth of slabs which exit from a continuous casting installation and which can be transported on a roller table for further processing. In order to optimize the thermal balance between the continuous casting installation and the hot rolling mill, a supporting part is provided for receiving a slab, which supporting part can be placed on the roller table and transported thereon, and an insulating box which can be placed upon the supporting part and which substantially encloses the latter.
