An apparatus and a method for controlling a cooling process of casting molds for cosmetic products during passing through a cooling track in an installation are described. The apparatus comprises a means for determining at least one process parameter corresponding to a first casting mold, a means for controlling the passing time of a second casting mold through the cooling track based on the at least one process parameter, and a means for controlling a cooling behavior of the cooling track during passing through of the second casting mold based on the at least one process parameter.
