Abstract
The invention relates to a method and casting roller plant for the semi-endless or endless rolling by casting of a metal, in particular a steel strip (), which may be transversely separated as required after solidification. The casting strip part lengths () are fed to a roller furnace () for heating and equilibration at the rolling temperature and the partial lengths () for rolling out are fed to a rolling train () for rolling, whereby the strip casting is continued uninterrupted during the rolling operation. According to the invention, a closer matching of the strip casting and the rolling can be carried out, whereby the casting speed (V) is reduced for a roller change such that between the end of rolling a preceding multiple length () and the insertion of a new partial length () or multiple lengths () into the rolling gear a sufficient buffer time for a roller exchange is provided.
