FIELD: process engineering.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to metallurgy. Proposed plant comprises frame supporting stand foundation with horizontal tolls and down coilers arranged on both sides of said frame. Said foundation accommodates support with down coiler housing secured thereon and provided with groove to receive bevel reduction gearbox housing fitted in rolling bearings to turn in horizontal plane and lock said housing to turn down coiler drum aside from foundation and adjust alignment of drum and stand rolls. Reduction bevel gearbox has vertical drive shaft with bevel gear and horizontal output shaft with bevel gear.
