<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve productivity by preheating a powdered material used for manufacturing a separator formed of a graphite powder mixed with a thermosetting resin binder, and then filling a mold with the preheated powdered material so as to shorten a time needed for rising a material temperature. <P>SOLUTION: An apparatus for manufacturing a fuel cell separator produces a fuel cell separator by using a mold 10 to perform compression molding of a powdered material 100. The apparatus for manufacturing a fuel cell separator includes a material feeder 60 which supplies the powdered material 100 to the cavity 50 of the mold 10. The material feeder 60 is provided with heaters 71, 72 which preheat the powdered material 100. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT |
