Dehydrating assembly is carried vertically movably on the replacer. A spongy member is attached to the lower end of the dehydrating assembly for absorbing the water from the inside of the lower mold. A push plate is arranged at the side of the lower mold for pushing the spongy member to dehydrate the same.
