PURPOSE: To give titled equipment capable of preventing overkneading, and of enhancing drying efficiency, productivity, and labor-saving, designed to carry out a vacuum drying on agitating a resin syrup using an equipment provided with specially-constituted agitating blades followed by extruding the resultant material by the extruder connected to the above equipment.

CONSTITUTION: First a thermosetting resin syrup 2 fed from the reaction vessel 1 to the agitating vacuum dryer 7 is subjected to drying normally under a reduced pressure of 1W2Torr while cutting into pieces by the cutter-shaped agitating blades 4 attached almost rectangularly to the revolving blade shafts 3. Subsequently, the resulting molding compound is extruded through the extruder 9 set under the shafts 3, then being, in principle, transferred to the next process.

EFFECT: Capable of improving workplace environment, and also of continuous operation.
