Abstract
An apparatus comprising elongated first and second moulds (2,3) extending in parallel, a drive mechanism (4) to move said second mould in relation to said first mould, from a first position to a second position so as to form a mould assembly, and a transport system comprising a movable part (5) movable along the first mould and/or the second mould and supported by an elongated intermediate support member (7) located between the moulds, the intermediate support member moving from a support position in which it supports the movable part, to a non-interference position in which interference with the moulds and/or the mould drive mechanism is avoided when said second mould is moved from the first position to the second position, the transport system comprising a securing device (71, 84, 83, 83a, 83b, 831, 83e) for locking the intermediate support member in the support position.
