ABSTRACT:
A method to form bundles (11) of one or more layers (20) of adjacent rolled sections (12). The method comprises discharging the rolled sections (12) from a terminal end (13a) of a transporter to cause the rolled sections (12) to fall from the terminal end (13a) onto discharge rods (14); forming at least one layer (20) of the rolled sections (12), which fall from the terminal end (13a) of the transporter (13) onto the discharge rods (14), the discharge rods (14) being arranged parallel to the transporter (13) and underneath the upper plane where the sections (12) are transported on the transporter (13). The discharge rods (14) are axially displaced with respect to the transporter (13) to define from time to time a lateral discharge space ("s") adjacent the terminal end (13a), for placing the sections (12) on the rods (14), wherein the lateral discharge space ("s") equals a transverse dimension of each rolled section (12). The axial displacements ("s") of the rods (14) with respect to the transporter (13) are correlated with the discharge of the sections (12) from the transporter (13). The discharge rods (14) progressively retract to transfer the layer (20) of the discharge rods (14) to a storage and unloading assembly (17) which has a least one transfer element (21) located on a plane below the discharge rods and lowering from time to time the transfer element (21) to discharge the rolled sections. Repeating these steps progressively forms a bundle (11) with a desired number of layers (20). A device for performing this process is also provided.
