Apparatus for resin transfer molding (RTM) and an RTM process for producing integral components. The apparatus has a closable mold (W) with a mold cavity (F), and an injection unit ( 10 ) coupled to the mold such that a resin is introducible into the mold; the mold has at least one resin outlet ( 3 ) connected to the mold cavity through which resin escapes after the mold is filled; a measuring unit situated at or downstream from the outlet detects escaping resin flow is and is coupled to a resin flow closing unit ( 5 ) such that the unit closes the outlet when escaping resin is detected. In the process a control system ( 11 ) transmits a signal for closing the resin flow closing unit to the closing unit when resin flow is detected such that the resin flow closing unit is closed and the flow of resin escaping the mold is interrupted.
