A plant for the manufacture of steel strip, comprises a continuous casting machine (1) for casting a steel slab, and at least one furnace apparatus (13, 14) receiving the steel slab. The furnace apparatus has an entry port and an exit port for the slab and an enclosed path for the slab. A coiling apparatus (27, 28) receives the steel slab from the furnace apparatus. The coiling apparatus has an enclosure providing an enclosed space and an entry port for entry of the slab into said enclosed space. A rolling apparatus (40) receives the steel slab uncoiled from said coiling apparatus and rolls the slab into strip of a desired thickness. A non-oxidising gas atmosphere is provided in the furnace apparatus and in the enclosed space of the coiling apparatus, and the exit port of the surface apparatus is gas-tightly and detachably connectable to the entry port of the coiling apparatus. This minimizes oxide formation and allows flexible operation of the plant. |
