Method for drying honeycomb formed structure

摘要

The invention provides a honeycomb formed structure drying method including causing undried honeycomb formed structures 10 placed on stands 12 to pass through a drying apparatus 1 , thereby drying the undried honeycomb formed structures through high-frequency heating, to thereby form dried honeycomb formed structures 11 ; removing the dried honeycomb formed structures 11 from the stands 12 ; cooling the stands 12 which have been heated dried in the drying apparatus 1 are cooled to a temperature lower than the gelation temperature of the undried honeycomb formed structures 10 ; placing newly formed undried honeycomb formed structures 10 on the cooled stands 12 ; drying the undried honeycomb formed structures by passing through the drying apparatus 1 ; and repeating these operations. The honeycomb formed structure drying method prevents deformation such as warpage of partition walls of honeycomb formed structures during drying thereof.
