A compression molding apparatus comprising a rotary compression molding means, a material feed means and an article carrying means. The rotary compression molding means includes a rotating supporting member mounted rotatably about its central axis, a plurality of molding die means mounted on said rotating supporting member at circumferentially spaced intervals, each of said molding die means having an upper die assembly and a lower die assembly cooperating with each other, at least one of the upper die assembly and lower die assembly being freely movable with respect to the other, a driving source for rotating said rotating supporting member in a predetermined direction and moving said molding die means through a circular conveying passage including a material charging zone, a molding zone, a cooling zone and an article discharging zone located successively, and a die opening and closing means for moving at least one of said upper and lower die assemblies in a predetermined manner with respect to the other according to the movement of the molding die means. The material feed means feeds a plastic material to the molding die means in the material charging means. The article carrying means carries the molded article from the molding die means in the article discharging zone.
