<p>The invention concerns a method for making catalyst containers and a device therefor. The method is characterised in that it essentially consists in: preparing, on a single semi-automatic production line, a station (1), at least a monolith, optionally with mesh wire end rings, enclosing said monolith with an insulating mat and bonding said insulating mat on said monolith; then slipping and automatically positioning the assembly obtained, in a precut tube, into a mounting and positioning assembly (2); etching said tube with said technical characteristics in an etching station (3); then transferring it into specific means (5) for retaining, clamping and driving it in rotation; inserting, optionally, in each end of the precut tube an insulating cone at stations (5) dispensing and installing insulation cones; heating simultaneously the ends of said precut tube at a heating installation (6) maintaining the temperature at the ends to be deformed; deforming said ends, after a predetermined temperature is reached using a device with deforming rollers (7), while maintaining the forming temperature; extracting and evacuating the resulting container after the floturning and spinning process, towards a continuous cooling device (8), the box being delivered, at the outlet of the cooling device (8) into collecting means (9) before being stored, conditioned or subsequently assembled.</p> |
