PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To efficiently manufacture a good article by a relatively small-sized apparatus by setting drying times for a molded article and a plaster mold at their optimum in accordance with the kind of a product. SOLUTION: A mold conveyor 13 in a circulation mechanism 1 is intermittently rotated and even numbers of the plaster molds M are circulated. Body R is fed into plaster molds M which are not used in the preceding time from a feeder 2 and is molded into product shapes by means of a molding machine 3. Molded articles W and empty plaster molds M used in the preceding time are forwarded to the primary drying room 4 and are dried in the same region as the circulation mechanism 1. The molded articles W after the primary drying are taken out from the plaster molds M by means of a demolding mechanism 5 and are forwarded to the secondary drying room 6 by means of a conveyor 18 and are dried again in the different region from the circulation mechanism 1. The molded articles W after the secondary drying are forwarded to a finishing machine 8 by means of a transfer mechanism 7 and the products P after finishing are taken out on a carrying-out conveyor 10 by means of a taking-out mechanism 9.
