Winding/unwinding device and method for winding/ unwinding a metal product in a rolling line
Abstract:
Device (10) and method for winding/unwinding rolled products (20). The device (10) is interposed between a rolling unit located upstream (102) and a rolling unit located downstream (105). The device (10) comprises a heating furnace (11) and a support structure (16) disposed outside the heating furnace (11). On the support structure (16), substantially in a diametrically opposite position, two winding/unwinding drums (18a, 18b) are assembled, positioned inside the furnace (11). The support structure (16) is selectively rotating to alternatively dispose a first of the two drums (18a or 18b) in its winding position or in its unwinding position of a reel (29). A second of the two drums (18b or 18a) consequently assuming the opposite unwinding or winding position.
