Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2016193279A1] The present invention relates to an apparatus for and a method of producing oblong supporting structures such as foundation piles. A a casting apparatus comprises a supply arrangement (11, 12, 13) for supplying composite material (6) to be distributed by the casting apparatus (1), a distribution unit (4) for distributing composite material (6) to groups (3_1-3_N) of oblong moulds (3_1a-3_Nn), which distribution unit (4) comprises a plurality of individually controllable outlet units (8_1-8_n) for distributing composite material (6) into said oblong moulds (3_1a-3_Nn), and a control arrangement (2) for controlling the supply of composite material (6) to said groups of oblong moulds, wherein said outlet units (8_1-8_n) are controllable by said control arrangement (2). The number of individually controllable outlet units (8_1-8_n) is larger than the number of moulds (3_1a-3_Nn) in a group (3_1-3_N) of moulds that are simultaneously supplied with composite material by said casting apparatus (1) during a casting session. A plurality of outlet units (8_1-8_n) for supplying composite material (6) to moulds in a group of moulds (3_1-3_N) during a casting session is selected, and a relative movement between said distribution unit (4) and a selected group of moulds (3_1-3_N) in a first movement direction (FMD) during supply of composite material (6) is provided during supply of composite material (6) to the group of moulds by means of selected outlet units (8_1-8_n).
