FIELD: rolled stock production.
SUBSTANCE: method comprises steps of guiding rolled product along first product-reception guide having outlet end spaced in radial direction from reception axis; rotating first guide for temporarily storing product in the form of spiral on cylindrical drum; rotating drum in direction opposite to rotation direction of guide for coiling off product from said drum to second guide. According to invention first guide has curvilinear intermediate section. Orientation of outlet end of section provides feed of product to outlet across said axis. First guide is driven to continuous rotation in direction opposite to outlet direction at speed V2 for decelerating speed of product fed from outlet end till speed V3 = V1 - V2. Apparatus for performing the method includes: first guide whose inlet end is matched with axis for receiving product and whose outlet end is spaced in radial direction from said axis and oriented for feeding product to outlet across said axis; cylindrical drum that may perform rotation around said axis; first drive unit for rotating first guide around said axis for temporarily storing product in the form of spiral on cylindrical drum; second drive unit for rotating drum in direction opposite to rotation direction of first guide at revolution number sufficient for coiling off product from said drum. First guide has curvilinear intermediate section with outlet end oriented for feeding product in the form of spiral towards outlet across said axis. First guide may perform continuous rotation in direction opposite to said outlet direction at speed V2 for lowering motion speed of product fed from outlet end till speed V3 = V1 - V2.
EFFECT: possibility for realizing continuous rolling of product in stable mode.
