A device and a method for horizontal casting of a metal band. The device includes a dispensing vessel for a melt and a cooled conveyor belt disposed downstream of the dispensing vessel in the casting direction running between two deflecting rollers and on which the metal band can be transported. The device further includes at least one roller that can be engaged with the metal band for profiling. Early and therefore improved influence on the profile of a metal band, that is the leader band, is thereby made possible.

The device in accordance with claim 1, wherein several adjustable profiling rolls are arranged above and below the metal strip. 4. The device in accordance with claim 1, including a plurality of adjustable profiling rolls, the plurality of rolls including at least one adjustable upper profiling roll arranged above the metal strip, and at least one lower profiling roll arranged opposite the upper profiling roll and below the metal strip, so that the at least one upper roll and the at least one lower roll form at least one pair of adjustable profiling rolls. 5. The device in accordance with claim 1, wherein the conveyor belt forms a cooling zone, and further comprising a temperature control zone downstream of the conveyor belt in the casting direction, wherein the at least one adjustable profiling roll is arranged to be settable on the metal strip in the temperature control zone and/or in the cooling zone. 6. The device in accordance with claim 1, wherein the at least one roll is swivelable against the metal strip to profile the metal strip. 7. The device in accordance with claim 1, wherein the at least one adjustable profiling roll has a barrel contour. 8. The device in accordance with claim 1, wherein the at least one adjustable profiling roll is horizontally shiftable. 9. The device in accordance with claim 1, wherein the at least one adjustable profiling roll is bendable along a horizontal axis. 10. The device in accordance with claim 1, wherein at least one adjustable lower profiling roll is arranged below the metal strip and lies at a pass line height of the metal strip. 11. A method for horizontal casting a metal strip, the method comprising the steps of: using a cooled conveyor belt arranged downstream of a feed vessel in a direction of casting, the conveyor belt running between two deflection pulleys and conveying the metal strip; profiling the metal strip with at least one adjustable profiling roll that is set on the metal strip; and influencing a thickness profile of the metal strip by setting the at least one adjustable profiling roll directly in contact with the metal strip in an area between the deflection pulleys. 12. The method in accordance with claim 11, including carrying out the profiling in the area between the deflection pulleys and above one of the deflection pulleys. 13. The method in accordance with claim 11, including carrying out the profiling with several adjustable profiling rolls above and below the metal strip. 14. The method in accordance with claim 11, wherein the conveyor belt forms a cooling zone, the method further comprising arranging a temperature control zone downstream of the conveyor belt in the casting direction, and the influencing the metal strip by the at least one adjustable profiling roll occurring in the temperature control zone and/or in the cooling zone. 15. The method in accordance with claim 11, wherein at least one of the rolls is swivelable, so that thickness taper of the strip is systematically controlled. 16. The method in accordance with claim 11, wherein the at least one adjustable profiling roll includes adjustable profiling rolls with a barrel contour and/or bent rolls and/or horizontally shiftable rolls, so that the profiling of the metal strip is influenced by at least one of the rolls. 17. The method in accordance with claim 11, including arranging at least one adjustable lower profiling roll at a pass line height of the metal strip. 18. The method in accordance with claim 11, including setting the at least one adjustable profiling roll hydraulically or mechanically on the metal strip under automatic force control and/or automatic position control. 19. The method in accordance with claim 11, wherein the method is a thin-strip casting method for producing a near-net strip with a thickness of less than 40 mm. 20. The method in accordance with claim 11, wherein the at least one adjustable profiling roll deforms the metal strip so that a metallurgical structure of the metal strip is altered. 21. The method in accordance with claim 11, including smoothing surface waviness with a quadratic or higher-order component that develops on a surface of the metal strip with the at least one adjustable profiling roll or with at least one pair of adjustable profiling rolls.
