METHOD OF DRYING HONEYCOMB FORMED BODY
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2003/082540
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A method of drying a honeycomb formed body having outer peripheral walls, partition walls disposed on the inside of the outer peripheral walls, and a plurality of flow holes partitioned by the partition walls and passed through in axial direction, comprising a drying step for starting to dry the formed body in the state of at least covering a part of the outer peripheral walls (7a) and (7b) by using a guide (12) covering the outer peripheral wall (7a) and/or (7b) so as not to come into contact with the outer peripheral wall (7a) and/or (7b) or a drying step for drying the formed body in the state of at least covering a part of the outer peripheral walls by using a guide covering the outer peripheral walls so as to come into contact with the outer peripheral walls, characterized in that a pressurizing force of the guide against the outer peripheral walls at the contact portion is less than 0.2 MPa, whereby the bending and cross sectional deformation of the honeycomb formed body can be reduced.
