Method of and system for processing different sized long products

摘要

A method of processing different sized long products delivered from a rolling mill (10,12,14), comprising forming products within a first range of sizes into helical formations of rings (18) having a first diameter, and alternatively forming products within a second range of sizes larger than the largest product size within said first range into helical formations of rings having a second diameter larger than said first diameter. The helical formations of rings are deposited on a conveyor (20) for transport to a reforming station (22) where they are gathered into coils. The invention also relates to a system for processing different sized long products delivered from a rolling mill.
