摘要:
The invention relates to a device for the optimized circulation of mandrels, comprising a presentation and/or cooling table (1) for mandrels, a lubricating station (2) for the mandrels, in some cases an additional drying station for the lubricant applied to the mandrels, and associated roller conveyors (3, 4). A further secondary circulation of rods is arranged upstream of the standard circulation of rods and comprises two redundantly operating transfer tables (11, 12), which are connected to the presentation and/or cooling table by means of a third roller conveyor (2) or the first roller conveyor for the discharge of no longer needed rods from the standard circulation of rods, wherein the third roller conveyor either forms the continuation of the first roller conveyor or is arranged parallel thereto at an offset. Furthermore, a fourth roller conveyor (9) for accommodating mandrels or passing mandrels into the standard circulation of rods by means of an intermediate buffer in an intermittent manner is provided on the opposite side of the transfer tables parallel to the first roller conveyor.
