FIELD: equipment for making hot rolled steel band from semi-finished strip made by successive continuous-casting operations. SUBSTANCE: semi-finished strip is made in continuous casting plant at using attachment with cast rolls at casting speed 4-8 m/min and at thickness of solidified billet equal to (90-125)mm while using oscillating mold of continuous casting plant with concavity between heel of melt metal and outlet of mold and(or) ingot guides having concavity and(or) centering and guiding members in zone of narrow sides of ingot mold for guiding and centering ingot. Between continuous casting plant and mixer there is zone for cooling or isolating semi-finished strip. Mixer arranged behind continuous casting plant and in front of rough rolling line has length near 45m and width in range (5-20)m. EFFECT: increased casting rate without cracking, enhanced efficiency. 4 cl, 2 dwg
