Abstract

L'invention concerne une unité équipée au moins : d'un élément sous forme de plaque (52) dans lequel est formée une pluralité de trous (52a); et d'une pluralité de corps roulant (53) capables de rouler à l'intérieur de la pluralité de trous (52a). Une matrice de moulage (M) est supportée sur une plateforme de support (3) avec pour intermédiaire une unité base (5) admettant la pluralité de corps roulant (53) à l'intérieur de la pluralité de trous (52a), de sorte qu'une partie de chacun des corps roulant (53) forme une saillie à la surface de l'élément sous forme de plaque (52) depuis la pluralité de trous (52a). Ainsi, chacun des corps roulant (53) supportent à la façon de points de contact la face inférieure de la matrice de moulage (M). Par conséquent, un échange de chaleur entre la matrice de moulage (M) et la plateforme de support (3) est inhibé, et sans que la matrice de moulage (M) ne subisse l'influence thermique de la plateforme de support (3), il est possible d'empêcher un risque de collage entre la plateforme de support (3) et la matrice de moulage (M).
