Abstract:
A casting device with which, by introducing a thermocurable plastics into a heatable casting mould (1), the plastics is thermally cured in said casting mould at least to such a degree that a casting can be released from the mould, sadi casting device having a reservoir for the thermocurable plastics and a feed means for feeding plastics from the reservoir into the casting mould (1), said mould has an inlet opening that extends at least along a substantial portion of the length of the casting to be moulded, characterized in that the casting device comprises an adapter (2) separate from the casting mould in which the feed means (20, 221,23) for the plastics is arranged and said adaptor can be connected to the casting mould (1) by a contact surface which surrounds an outlet opening (23) provided in the adapter (2) and said contact surface is reduced in size in relation to the outer dimensions of the adapter, said outlet opening (23) is arranged sealed to and substantially congruent with the inlet opening of the casting mould (1), where the contact surface of the separate adapter (2) is made small for reduction of heat transfer between said mould (1) and said adapter, and the adapter is not recessed into the mould.
