The mold is separable from the mold holder, and the exterior of each mold segment is provided with a plurality of cooling fins (). The mold holder is made up of a separable pair of mold holder sections (), and each mold holder section has a fluid flow passage () extending therethrough. The fluid flow passage is radially open to permit fluid flowing therethrough to flow inwardly against the fins of an adjacent mold element. Each mold holder section has a perforated screen () affixed thereto to vary the distribution of the flow of fluid from the mold holder section against the fins of the adjacent mold element.
