Abstract
An apparatus comprises a mould part having a forming chamber and a filling device for filling the forming chamber with a mouldable material. The filling device comprises an entry duct for a flow of mouldable material and air and a preliminary chamber communicating with the forming chamber. The entry duct opens into the preliminary chamber in a position such as to send the flow of mouldable material and air towards the forming chamber with a helicoidal movement, so as to separate the mouldable material from the air.
