A metal slab or ingot 1 is divided longitudinally into sections of predetermined width during the course of its conveyance on the rollers 2 of a conveying table. For this purpose, the slab 1 is stopped on the table and is raised therefrom by lifting means 4a, 15. While in its raised position, the slab 1 is divided lengthwise thereof into sections by a gas cutting torch 8 mounted on a truck 6. The sections are then lowered on to the rollers 2 again one after the other and are then moved individually by the rollers to a device 18 which removes slag deposits formed on the bottom edges of the cut surfaces of the sections. The raising of the slab 1 before it is cut prevents the cutting torch from damaging the rollers 2 and the automatic removal of the slag deposits ensures that these do not harm the sections during subsequent rolling operations. <IMAGE> |
