PURPOSE:To convey many continuously cast steel ingots automatically at a constant period to a heating furnace by gathering said ingots from plural strands on a chute with a transverse feeder, and delivering these to a conveyor communicating with the heating furnace by each piece with a shifter. CONSTITUTION:When the continuously cast steel ingots 2 from plural strands arrive on respective carrying-out tables 1, a transverse feed chain conveyor 3 travels to gather the ingots to the chute 7 side with dogs 4. Next, a fluid pressure cylinder 12 operates to tilt the chute 7, thereby gliding the ingots 2 down to the stooper 7a of the chute 7. At the same time, a shifter 8 provided with a notched part 11 swivels to receive the ingot 2 at the leading end part in the part 11 and continues to swivel until it places the ingot on a conveying table 13, by which the ingot is transported to the heating furnace. By the swiveling of the shifter 8, the ingots 2 on the chute 7 are supplied automatically by each piece at a constant period to the heating furnace. |
