Apparatus comprising:
- an extruding device for extruding doses of plastics;
- a forming device for compression moulding said doses;
- a plurality of containing elements moveable along a first looped path, each of said containing elements being suitable for containing a dose and transferring said dose to said forming device, each of said containing elements having a substantially tubular shape with upper and lower openings;
- and
- a plurality of concave elements moveable along a second looped path, each of said concave elements having a concave internal surface having a cross-section that is open on a side and at the bottom, each concave element being arranged with the open side of said concave internal surface facing forward in relation to the movement direction along said second looped path, wherein, during use, a dose severed from said extruding device enters the concave internal surface of a concave element and then leaves the concave element entering a containing element below.
