FIELD: performing operations.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to continuous production of hot-rolled steel strips with minimum thickness of 0.3 mm. Apparatus for continuous production of hot-rolled steel strips comprises the following components arranged in series in the direction of movement of the processed material: device for continuous casting of thin slabs or slabs of medium thickness, roughing mill, first induction furnace, water scaler, second induction furnace, finishing mill, cooling station, cutting station and winding station. Winding station comprises a pair of carousel winding devices and a protective medium supply system. Between the above device for continuous casting and roughing mill there is a preliminary section of heat treatment and descaling. Heat treatment and descaling section successively comprises an induction heater for edges, an induction heater for the rest of the slab surface and a first device for scaling with water.
EFFECT: steel strip manufacturing time and power consumption are minimized.
