Casting-and-rolling plant for producing metallic rolled material, comprising: a casting line with a mould for vertical casting of a cast strip and with a strip guide, which comprises a roller carpet for deflecting the cast strip from the vertical into the horizontal, a straightening device, shears for dividing the cast strip into slabs and an outlet roller path, a rolling line, which is arranged parallel and offset with respect to the casting line, with an inlet roller path and with a Steckel rolling mill for rolling the slabs to form the rolled material; a transverse displacing device for transverse transport of the slabs from the outlet roller path of the strip guide to the inlet roller path of the rolling line; and a furnace for heating the slabs during the transverse transport, wherein the furnace encloses the complete transverse displacing device, at least a part of the outlet roller path of the strip guide and at least a part of the inlet roller path of the rolling line and wherein the inlet of the furnace for the slabs is arranged in the casting line and the outlet of the furnace for the slabs is arranged in the rolling line, characterised in that the roller carpet of the strip guide is formed from a plurality of segments arranged in succession in casting direction; wherein in a first segment directly following the mould initially three to seven roller pairs are arranged vertically one above the other for forming a vertical guide region for the cast strip and subsequently a further five to eleven roller pairs are arranged in curved format within the first segment for forming a bending region for bending the cast strip from the vertical at a casting radius of between 3.5 to 6.5 metres; and wherein two to four curved segments (122, 123, 124) for guidance of the cast strip at the casting radius between 3.5 and 6.5 metres are arranged downstream of the first segment; and the thickness of the cast strip at the end of the strip guide is between 90 millimetres and 120 millimetres. a casting line with a mould for vertical casting of a cast strip and with a strip guide, which comprises a roller carpet for deflecting the cast strip from the vertical into the horizontal, a straightening device, shears for dividing the cast strip into slabs and an outlet roller path, a rolling line, which is arranged parallel and offset with respect to the casting line, with an inlet roller path and with a Steckel rolling mill for rolling the slabs to form the rolled material; a transverse displacing device for transverse transport of the slabs from the outlet roller path of the strip guide to the inlet roller path of the rolling line; and a furnace for heating the slabs during the transverse transport, wherein the furnace encloses the complete transverse displacing device, at least a part of the outlet roller path of the strip guide and at least a part of the inlet roller path of the rolling line and wherein the inlet of the furnace for the slabs is arranged in the casting line and the outlet of the furnace for the slabs is arranged in the rolling line, characterised in that the roller carpet of the strip guide is formed from a plurality of segments arranged in succession in casting direction; wherein in a first segment directly following the mould initially three to seven roller pairs are arranged vertically one above the other for forming a vertical guide region for the cast strip and subsequently a further five to eleven roller pairs are arranged in curved format within the first segment for forming a bending region for bending the cast strip from the vertical at a casting radius of between 3.5 to 6.5 metres; and wherein two to four curved segments (122, 123, 124) for guidance of the cast strip at the casting radius between 3.5 and 6.5 metres are arranged downstream of the first segment; and the thickness of the cast strip at the end of the strip guide is between 90 millimetres and 120 millimetres.
