ABSTRACT:
The invention provides a continuous steel plate manufacturing facility including continuous casting equipment (12) having a plurality of strands, a plurality of rows of slab conveyers (14) disposed downstream of each of the strands, and a single slab transporting apparatus (16) disposed downstream of the slab conveyers for horizontally transporting slabs from the rows of slab conveyers to a single rolling line disposed downstream of the rows of slab conveyers. A continuous slab casting line defined by the strand and the slab conveyers diagonally intersects, at an intersection point, on the slab transporting apparatus with a slab feeding line (18) which is in communication with the rolling line. The slab transporting apparatus is horizontally swingable about the intersection point (19) between a receiving position A wherein the slab transporting apparatus is disposed on an extension of one of the continuous slab casting lines, and a feed-out position B wherein the slab transporting apparatus is disposed in alignment with the slab feeding line. The present invention provides advantages that slabs can be transported in a short period of time to the single rolling line through a plurality of the continuous casting apparatuses by using a relatively small-sized and small-powered facilities, and that the continuous steel plate manufacturing facility can be combined with three or more continuous casting apparatus.
