Abstract
A metallurgical product storage device located downstream from two parallel continuous casting lines and upstream from a rolling line includes: a heated storage chamber having a length at least equal to the length of the products to be stored and having opposite inlets and outlets for the products originating from the continuous casting lines and delivered to the rolling line, these products being displaced in the chamber on tables with rollers disposed, respectively, along the axes of the continuous casting lines; and a storage zone in the chamber located between the two tables with rollers and including movable support beams for supporting the products, capable of being displaced vertically between several levels, and movable transport beams, separated from the support beams and capable of being displaced vertically and horizontally for advancing the products step-by-step according to a series of successive rectangular movements. The beams are installed successively between two rollers of each table with rollers to that the product to be stored corresponding to each continuous casting line can be successively lifted and displaced parallel to this axis by the movable beams in order to be deposited for storage between the two rows of tables and rollers.
