PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide molding apparatus capable of achieving the shortening of a molding cycle while reducing the amount of cooling water for radiation cooling.SOLUTION: A steam supply pipe for supplying steam into respective molding parts, a drain pipe for discharging the supplied steam to the outside of the molding parts and a cooling water supply pipe for supplying cooling water for water cooling into the respective molding parts after heating by steam are connected to respective first and second molding parts forming a molding space for filling foamable synthetic resin particles, and a radiation cooling means Z for evacuating the molding parts after the completion of the supply of cooling water to allow the radiation cooling is provided therein. The radiation cooling means Z includes a vacuum pump 17 for evacuating the inside of the molding parts, a steam condenser 18 for condensing the steam drawn from the molding parts under vacuum, a cooling water supply means 19 for supplying cooling water for radiation cooling into the steam condenser 18, and a stop control means 20 for stopping the vacuum pump 17 after the supply of the cooling water for radiation cooling by the cooling water supply means 19. |
