The inner surface of each hollow mould (1a, 1b) shell-shaped goods for consumption that are to be produced. The device also comprises a plurality of die-type cooling bodies (3a, 3b), which are displaceably mounted on a suspension device (4), a respective cooling body (3a, 3b) being lowered into a respective hollow mould (1a or 1b) and the outer surface of the respective cooling body (3a, 3b) determining the inner surface of the shell-shaped goods for consumption (M) that are to be produced. According to the invention, the plurality of cooling bodies (3a, 3b) that is mounted on the suspension device (4) consists of individual cooling body groups (3), in which several cooling bodies (3a, 3b) are coupled together and mounted on the suspension device (4).
