An integrated plant for the production of elongated metal product of relatively small cross section, such as bars and rods, is described in which the product is initially cast in a pair of continuous casters and conducted along parallel conveyor lines toward a rolling mill which is in-line with one of the conveyor lines. A tunnel furnace operative to heat the product to rolling temperatures contains transfer mechanism for transferring product on the out-of-line conveyor to the in-line conveyor whereby the benefits of substantially continuous rolling of the product is achieved. A method for operating the plant is also described.
