The invention provides methods and moulding devices for moulding three-dimensional productions from a mass of foodstuff which is suitable for human consumption, in particular from a mass of meat, in particular chicken. The method comprises filling a mould cavity with a portion of the mass and for a filling period via a filling opening associated with the mould cavity, closing the filling opening of the mould cavity and holding the mass in the mould cavity for a fixing period. Then, the mould cav...

The invention provides methods and moulding devices for moulding three-dimensional products from a mass of foodstuff which is suitable for human consumption, in particular from a mass of meat, in particular chicken. The method comprises filling a mould cavity with a portion of the mass under the influence of a filling pressure exerted on the mass and for a filling period via a filling opening associated with the mould cavity, closing the filling opening of the mould cavity and holding the mass i...

The invention relates to a method of forming a moulded product comprising a reinforcement encapsulated in a plastics material. The reinforcement is supported in a mould cavity spaced from the surfaces of said mould cavity by support pins which are retractable into the mould surfaces. During an initial part of the moulding operation some of the plastics moulding material enters one or more reservoirs each formed in or around one of the support pins, the reservoirs opening into the mould cavity an...

A core or insert primarily for the production of metal and alloy castings, e.g. of complicated internal shape, is a refractory body comprising essentially a water-soluble salt and a calcium silicate, the calcium silicate being present in amount of at least 45%, by weight, based on the total weight of calcium silicate and water-soluble salt, and the water-soluble salt and the calcium silicate having a particular particle size distribution. The calcium silicate is preferably a wollastonite. The co...

In the continuous vacuum forming of articles from a fibrous slurry, e.g. from paper pulp, a plurality of two-piece hinged moulds are mounted on a transport apparatus 1 which transports the moulds stepwise in a loop. The internal surfaces of the moulds are defined by wire gauze of mesh 107,109 and the moulds are connected to a source of suction. The moulds, with the suction applied, are moved through the fibrous slurry contained in a tank 43, whereupon fibres are deposited on the mesh 107,109, mu...

Articles are blow moulded from thermoplastic polymeric materials containing high proportions of fillers such as glass fibres. The method comprises extruding the filled polymeric material through a die having a mandrel for constraining the material into a tubular shape; coextruding between the die and the outer surface of the material, a liquid having a freezing temperature lower than that of the material; cooling the liquid and the outer surface of the material during their passage through the d...

Molding (11), such as floor base, dressing of a door, cornice, wainscot or the like, which is provided with a channel (13) extending in longitudinal direction of the molding, designed for receiving and hiding cables (12), wires or the like. The channel (13) at least along one edge of the moulding is provided with a longitudinal opening of the channel, which is closable by means of a cap fillet (15), which is at least partly insertable in the opening, and which includes at least a compressible an...

A moulding device having a moulding block with a moulding cavity formed therein. A chamber is connected to the cavity and has a mouth where the chamber is connected to the moulding cavity. A closing member is provided between the chamber and the cavity which is moveable from a first position in which the mouth of the chamber is sealed to allow the chamber to be charged with a molten substance while the piston is retracted to a second position which forms a narrow orifice such that a fine spray o...

A moulding apparatus (10) for moulding a strap on to a group of battery plates including a mould block (14) with moulds (24), each of which has an inlet weir (28) and an outlet weir (29). The ridge (30) of these weirs is effectively a knife edge but includes a thermal break. This construction allows rapid processing whilst avoiding the formation of solid tails.
