SYSTEMS FOR AND METHODS OF DRYING THE SKIN OF A CELLULAR CERAMIC WARE

WIPO Patent Application WO/2016/154097

A3

Systems for and methods of drying a wet skin (18) of a wet skinned ceramic ware (10) are disclosed. The wet skinned ceramic ware (10) includes a dry interior web (26) with an outer surface (16). The wet skin (18) is disposed on the outer surface (16) of the dry interior web (26). The method includes generating an airstream (212) and then directing the airstream (212) through a first end of the wet-skinned ceramic ware only through an annular portion (26A) of the interior web (26) that is adjacent the outer surface (16) of the interior web (26). The flow of the airstream (212) through the annular portion (26A) of the interior web (26) causes moisture in the wet skin (18) to migrate inwardly toward the interior web (26). The moisture is removed from the annular portion (26A) of the interior web (26) when the airstream (212) exits a second end of the ceramic ware, thereby drying the skin (18) from the inside out of the wet-skinned ceramic ware (10).
