In the closed molding position, the mold parts are is spaced relation and form an annular gap laterally enclosing the mold space. An annular member forms a closure for the gap. The pourable substance is introduced into a passage through the closure member and through the gap into the mold space. A vacuum system is provided in the closure member in communication with the mold space during the step of filling the pourable substance into the mold space.
