Method for operating a transport belt of a strip caster and strip casting plant

The present invention relates to a method for operating a conveyor belt (3) of a strip casting plant (1), comprising the steps of conducting a profile measurement of the conveyor belt (3) to the position and / or the expansion of deformations (340) of the conveyor belt (3) to detect; and the selective heating of the conveyor belt (3) in the region of the detected deformations (340) in order to reduce the deformations by subsequent thermal contraction and / or eliminate.
