FIELD: light, construction, food-processing, pulp-and-paper industries, in particular, production of modular layers, containers for frangible products and fibrous materials of complex spatial shape. SUBSTANCE: apparatus has set of plates, each having predetermined profile. Plates are offset one relative to the other along predetermined configuration and are positioned so that gap between them may be varied.
