Planetary gears are engaged with the gear wheel and are displaced pivotally around the gear wheel to be rotated by the same. Molds are coupled to the planetary gears to be rotated therewith. Heating devices are located below the molds to heat the molds as they are being rotated simultaneously about their axes and about the axis of the gear wheel.
