The invention is directed to an oven installation as intermediate storage between the non-mandrel type coiling device for the strip-shaped slab located downstream of a thin-slab casting installation and its uncoiling device corresponding to the rolling mill downstream. In order to provide an oven installation between the coiling device and uncoiling device for the cast slab which enables a reheating of the bundles, if necessary, in addition to favorable heating conditions for the cast material and which provides a large storage capacity upstream of the rolling mill, the invention proposes the use of a circulating pallet system having pallet cars (9) which can be transported cyclically through the oven (11) and can be displaced transversely (8, 13) at the input and output of the oven and guided back (17) laterally alongside the oven, and the platforms of the pallet cars (9), which are made from refractory material and whose end sides directly abut at one another, form the hearth bottom of the oven (11) and are provided with saddles produced from material with poor thermal conductivity for receiving the slab bundles.
