Abstract
A reheating, accumulation and holding furnace for blooms comprises a first section in which the blooms are moved along a runway by a first pusher, and a second section in which said blooms are moved by the lift and shifting movement of longitudinal members parallel to the direction of movement of the blooms. Said longitudinal members are constructed with two different surface heights and are mobile at two different levels. At the lesser level only those blooms in a central position in the furnace are reached and moved, whereas at the greater level all the blooms present on the longitudinal members are reached and moved. The combination of bloom movements obtained by the pusher and the two different heights of the longitudinal members determines the passage, accumulation and de-accumulation of the blooms within the furnace.
