To provide a vertical extrusion type ceramic molding apparatus which is composed to be able to carry out operation from the kneading to the molding of ceramic in a series and can continuously manufacture a ceramic molding excellent in dimensional accuracy.

The apparatus for continuously molding the ceramic molding includes a vertical extruder 1 comprising a vertical cylinder 1a, a ceramic formed body feeding port formed above the cylinder, a mold case 1c in which a mold is set, and a screw 1d installed vertically in the cylinder to vertically sending the ceramic formed body supplied to the feeding port, a screw type kneader 6 which kneads and deaerates ceramic raw materials to prepare the ceramic formed body and supplies it to the vertical extruder, a molding holding mechanism 4 in which a support plate supporting the lower surface of the ceramic molding extruded downward from the mold, and which is brought down synchronously with the molding speed of the ceramic molding extruded from the vertical extruder to prevent the deformation of the ceramic molding by its own weight, and a cutting mechanism 5 for cutting the ceramic molding extruded from the mold when it reaches a prescribed length.
