mould-turning mechanism
Explanation:
admittedly a guess, but several Google hits for 'mould turning" -- which apparently refer to turning a mould over or around, rather than turning in the sense of machinging with a lathe.

see eg www.arimpo.se/diesse/access5-uk.htm: 'A special function is provided by the optional 0°-180° mould turning
device which, with hydraulic movements, allows the mould to be extracted ...'

www.dorstener.com/versengl/betonschwellen/schwellen3.htm: 'Mould transport, Mould turning facility. Tensioning-rods insertion
facility, Attachment plant for rail fastening plates. '

good luck!
