Moulding system

Abstract

Disclosed is a moulding system for providing a hollow moulded fibre product, the moulding system comprising: a first mould defining a first mould cavity and having a first mould body portion wall having a first mould length, the first mould configured to provide a hollow moulded fibre product precursor having a precursor body having a first body length in a longitudinal direction of the hollow moulded fibre product precursor; and a second mould defining a second mould cavity and having a second mould body portion wall having a second mould length greater than the first mould length, the second mould configured to provide the hollow moulded fibre product; wherein the moulding system is configured, with the hollow moulded fibre product precursor in the second mould cavity, to stretch the precursor body of the hollow moulded fibre product precursor from the first body length to a second body length, the second body length equal to the second mould length, to thereby provide the hollow moulded fibre product from the hollow moulded fibre product precursor.
