PURPOSE:To shorten the waiting time in order to shorten the molding cycle by a method wherein the starting time for heating a tablet is set on the basis of the actual heating time of the tablet molded just prior to the above-mentioned tablet at molding, which is performed by charging the tablet heated up to the certain temperature in a pot. CONSTITUTION:A high-frequency heating device 20, for example, is annexed to a molder 10. In continuous molding operation, the starting time for heating the tablet 31N+1 used for the N+1-th molding is set to the time t1-TN, which is the time going back by the actual heating time TN of the N-th tablet 31N from the expected time of the completion of the clamping of the upper mold 11a and the lower mold 11b of a mold 11. The controlling device 21 of the high-frequency heating device 20 starts the heating of the tablet 31N+1 at the time t1-TN. The time, at which the tablet 31N+1 arrives at the predetermined temperature becomes very close to TN, resulting in making the charging of a tablet to a pot U just before or after the expected time of the completion of the clamping of the mold 11 possible. Accordingly, the waiting time becomes neglegibly small. |
