Method and device for manufacturing a fibre moulding and a fibre moulding manufactured using these

A method for manufacturing a head or base element for drinks packaging containers formed from a fibre moulding, the method comprising the following steps:

• dipping of a moulding screen arranged on a toolholder, said moulding screen extending along an outer contour of a moulding tool, into a fibre-containing pulp slurry in order to cover the moulding screen with fibre material,
• lifting of the toolholder in order to move the moulding screen covered with fibre material completely out of the pulp slurry,
• compressing the fibre material in an area of a peripheral edge of the moulding screen through expansion of a sleeve arranged around the moulding tool and going all the way around the moulding screen,
• relaxing pressure in the sleeve,
• removing fibre moulding from the moulding screen,
• transferring the fibre moulding onto a press tool, and
• mechanically compacting the fibre moulding on the press tool with a geometry corresponding to the fibre moulding.
