A member (1A) to be molded, which has been unwound from a coil (1B) for the member to be molded by an unwinder (40) for the member to be molded, is guided to a separator-molding mill (60) while the meandering movement of the member (1A) to be molded is controlled and the angle of inclination thereof is adjusted by an approach-angle adjusting device (50). The member (1A) to be molded is introduced to an area between rollers in the separator-molding mill (60) and subjected to pressing. Thus, separators (1) are continuously molded. The tension of the separator (1), which has been molded by the separator-molding mill (60), is controlled while the separator (1) is moved forward such that both ends of the separator (1) in the width direction thereof are pinched by a pinch roller device (70). The portion of the separator (1) not including a path is cut by a flying shear (80), without the separator (1), which is moved forward by the pinch roller device (70), being stopped. |
