A method for manufacturing products (2) using a mold having at least one mold (1) cavity (6) with at least one injection point (ISA) and at least one flow path (V) which extends from said at least one injection point in the direction of a longitudinal edge-forming part of the mold cavity situated at a relatively large distance from said at least one injection point, in which longitudinal edge-forming part a longitudinal edge of said product is formed, which mold cavity has at least one first movable wall (14) part which is situated in and/or near said longitudinal edge-forming part, wherein said first movable wall part has been or is brought in a first position, wherein a mass is introduced under pressure into the mold cavity, and fills the mold cavity at least in and/or near said longitudinal edge-forming part, after which said at least one first movable wall part is moved in the direction of said opposite first wall part.
A method for manufacturing products using a mold having at least one mold cavity with at least one injection point and at least one flow path which extends from said at least one injection point in the direction of a longitudinal edge-forming part of the mold cavity situated at a relatively large distance from said at least one injection point, in which longitudinal edge-forming part a longitudinal edge of said product is formed, which mold cavity has at least one first movable wall part which is situated in and/or near said longitudinal edge-forming part, wherein said first movable wall part has been or is brought in a first position, at a relatively large distance from an opposite wall part, wherein a mass is introduced under pressure into the mold cavity, such that the mold cavity is filled with said mass and mass extends between the at least one first movable wall part and the opposite first wall part, and fills the mold cavity at least in and/or near said longitudinal edge-forming part, after which said at least one first movable wall part is moved in the direction of said opposite first wall part, such that said mass between said at least one first movable wall part and the opposite first wall part is pressurized and possibly partly displaced.
An apparatus for manufacturing products, comprising a mold having at least one mold cavity which has at least one first movable wall part, wherein drive means are provided for driving the at least one first movable wall part, which mold cavity comprises at least one injection point and defines at least one flow path between said injection point and a longitudinal edge-forming part of said mold cavity, remote from said injection point, wherein said at least one first movable wall part is situated closer to said longitudinal edge-forming part than to said injection point, measured along said flow path.
