An integrated plant for the production of elongated metal products, such as bars and rods, is described in which the product is initially cast in continuous caster equipment and conducted toward a rolling mill which is positioned in-line with the continuous caster equipment. A tunnel furnace is disposed between the continuous caster equipment and the rolling mill for heating, equalizing and/or holding the product at a predetermined rolling temperature and a descaling assembly operates to descale the product prior to delivery to the rolling mill.
