PURPOSE:To contrive energy saving and to improve productivity by providing a edge heating means and whole heating device on the 1st route and 2nd route respectively which are provided in a part of transfer route. CONSTITUTION:A cast billet 8 which is released from a continuous casting machine 10 is transferred by the transfer route 1 and the temperature is measured before the branch point of the 1st route 4 and the 2nd route 5 and the billet which only edge heating is needed is fed to the 1st route 4 and the billet which whole heating is needed is fed to the 2nd route 5. By this way, the cast billet 8 for which whole heating is needed can be heated by taking longer time than the interval of the releasing time of the cast billet 8. Therefore, heat efficiency, construction cost and repair cost for the whole heating means 3 are considerably reduced and productivity can be improved. |
