FIELD: glass melting equipment. SUBSTANCE: apparatus contains molding equipment including at least one molding member, for example, puncher with sealed hollow bearing a layer of corrosion-heat-resistant porous material (gauze) disposed on its inner surface, whereas, in the hollow, material capable to intensively form vapor at molding temperature is disposed. There are also means to evacuate hollow and means to perform heat control of material. The latter is connected with cooling agent source and constitutes a chamber formed in the upper part of molding member. Sealed hollow is separated into compartments by means of at least one vertical partition made of at least one corrosion-heat- resistant porous material and having through openings interconnecting compartments. EFFECT: improved design. 8 cl, 6 dwg
