Claim:
Installation for producing rolled metal product ( 1 ), which has: a first zone ( 2 ), in which slabs are produced by primary forming; a second zone ( 3 ) downstream of the first zone ( 2 ) in the direction of flow (F) of the material, in which at least a first rolling installation ( 4 ) is installed for rolling the slabs; a third zone ( 5 ) downstream of the second zone ( 3 ) in the direction of flow (F) of the material, in which at least a second rolling installation ( 6 ) is installed for rolling the slabs or the intermediate product produced from them; and a fourth zone ( 7 ) downstream of the third zone ( 5 ) in the direction of flow (F) of the material, in which at least one installation ( 8 ) for further processing of the rolled material is installed, comprising a conveyance system ( 9 ) with which the metal stock ( 1 ) can be removed between the second zone ( 3 ) and the third zone ( 5 ) transversely to the direction of flow, conveyed on a rolling table parallel to the direction of flow, and then returned to the treatment process between the third zone ( 5 ) and the fourth zone ( 7 ) transversely to the direction of flow.
