Controlled moulding equipment

The present invention relates to moulding equipment for concrete moulding machines of the kind which are typically used for the production of moulded items in the form of tiles and bricks for paving and wall constructions, and comprising a cell-divided under-part with cells which are open both upwards and downwards, and which define the desired basic shape of the individual tiles/bricks, and a corresponding upper-part which from an upper holding plate has downwards-extending pressure plungers which are formed with lower pressure plates which pass down into the respective underlying cells in the under-part, and can hereby be used for downwards ejection of the moulded items from the cells. In connection with the moulding of tiles and bricks, for example for paving etc., use is made of moulding equipment comprising an under-part () with moulding cells () corresponding to the shape of the tile or brick, and an upper-part () with tubes () which support downwards-extending pressure plates () corresponding substantially to the shape of the moulding cell, and such that the pressure plates (), in the forming of the items by vertical displacement of the under-part (), are fed down through the moulding cells ().With the invention, there is disclosed an upper-part () comprising means whereby the upper-part (), alternatively the under-part (), comprises means () which ensure that when the under-part () is raised to a certain minimum height, which is greater than the thickness of the mould items, the pressure plates () maintain their position outside, or their guiding engagement with, the sides () of the cell () corresponding therewith.In the forming of the items (), it is hereby avoided that the pressure plates () are guided outside the limits of the cells () in the under-part ().
