Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	Apparatus (100) and method for the production of elongated metal products such as bars, rods or the like, said apparatus comprising a rolling mill (10) comprising at least one rolling stand (5); a casting station (20) comprising at least a first casting line (2a) and at least a second casting line (2b), each line (2a, 2b) being operable to produce respective elongated intermediate products (b2a, b2b), such as billets; wherein at least the first casting line (2a) is directly aligned with the rolling mill (10), said first casting line (2a) being configured to feed the rolling mill (10) with a fully continuous casting strand or with cast elongated intermediate products; and the second casting line (2b) is not aligned with the rolling mill (10). The apparatus (100) further comprises bidirectional transfer means (30) for transferring elongated intermediate products (b2b) of the second casting line (2b) alternatively in a first direction from said second casting line (2b) to said first casting line (2a) to align said elongated intermediate product (b2b) with the rolling mill (10); or in a second direction from said at least second casting line (2b) to a cooling bed (40).
