Abstract: Rolling unit supported as a cantilever and comprising pairs of rolls (12) which are supported as cantilevers and have their axis horizontal and/or vertical, such unit (10) including a working area (13) and at the same time an area (14) for replacement and maintenance, such two areas being different and located diametrically opposite to each other at the two sides of an axis of rotation (26), the rolling unit (10) being placed between the two areas (13-14), the axis of rotation (26) being vertical or tilted.

Abstract: A system for moving skips to and from a press in a scrap charging zone including at least one skip charging station and a station to press the scrap within the skip. The skip is borne by an independent support with legs in the charging station and is supported on a cradle in the press station. Containment housings are located laterally on a skip in diametrically opposite positions. A skup full of scrap is lifted from its support with legs by a trolley device and taken by such device from the skip charging station or from a parking station for skips and placed on a cradle comprised in cooperation with a press for the pressing of scrap.

Abstract: A system for the pressing of scrap in skips which charge furnaces in steel works, whereby a skip (12) is borne on a support with legs (15) by means of a vehicle with a vertically moveable platform (16) and is then rested on a press cradle (17), the press (11) comprising hooks for engaging with support pins (13) included on the skip (12) so as to support the skip itself (12) momentarily below the press (11).
