PURPOSE:To rationalize a process for transferring a green body molded piece removed from a mold to a drying process by a method wherein when suction pads suck an inner surface of a green body molded piece, the shape of the green body molded piece is corrected by pressing movable pressing plates against the inner surface of the green body molded piece. CONSTITUTION:A transferring tool 12 provided with suction pads 22, 24 and a bottom suction pad 26 is inserted into a green body molded piece 10 disposed at a first position to hold it by suction. The molded piece 10 is transported to a second position. On the first position, a correction mold 42 having a normal shape of an outer side wall of the green body molded piece 10 is disposed. Movable pressing plates 14, 16 for pressing the green body molded piece 10 is provided on the transferring toll 12. Therefore, though the suction pads 22, 24 suck the green body molded piece 10, the molded piece 10 is pressed against the correction mold 42 by the movable pressing plates 14, 16 to be corrected. In addition, a movable bottom pressing plate 28 is pressed down to correct a sag in an area deformed under its own weight by a pallet on which the molded piece 10 is placed. |
