Abstract
Disclosed is a method, a mould system and a mould part for a mould system, for manufacture of a component for a wind turbine blade. The mould part may have a moulding surface with a primary side section, a secondary side section, and a central portion between the primary side section and the secondary side section. The mould part has a primary connection interface configured to abut a secondary connection interface of a second mould part. The primary connection interface comprises a primary connection surface substantially perpendicular to the moulding surface. The primary connection interface comprising an outlet configured to be connected to a vacuum source.

A mould part for a mould system for manufacture of a component for a wind turbine blade, comprising:
- a moulding surface with a primary side section, a secondary side section, and a central portion between the primary side section and the secondary side section;
- and
- a primary connection interface configured to abut a secondary connection interface of a second mould part,
- wherein the primary connection interface comprises a primary connection surface,
- wherein the primary connection interface comprises an outlet connected to a vacuum source, and wherein the primary connection interface comprises a sealing path completely surrounding the outlet, and
- wherein the sealing path comprises a sealing part configured for receiving a sealant paste formed by a bevelled edge between the moulding surface and the primary connection surface.
A mould system for manufacture of a component for a wind turbine blade, the mould system comprising:
- a first mould part having a first moulding surface with a first primary side section a first secondary side section and a first central portion between the first primary side section and the first secondary side section, the first mould part having a first primary connection interface comprising a first primary connection surface, the first primary connection interface comprising a first outlet connected to a vacuum source;
- and
- a second mould part having a second moulding surface with a second primary side section a second secondary side section and a second central portion between the second primary side section and the second secondary side section, the second mould part having a second secondary connection interface comprising a second secondary connection surface,
- wherein the first primary connection interface is configured to abut the second secondary connection interface, and
- wherein the first primary connection interface and/or the second secondary connection interface comprises a sealing path configured for completely surrounding the outlet, and
- wherein the sealing path comprises a sealing part configured for receiving a sealant paste formed by a bevelled edge between the first moulding surface and the first primary connection surface and/or between the second moulding surface and the second secondary connection surface.
