Method for producing honeycomb structure

A method for producing at least one honeycomb structure, the method comprising:

• a honeycomb formed body producing step of producing at least one unfired pillar shaped honeycomb body;
• a honeycomb formed body placing step of placing the at least one unfired pillar shaped honeycomb formed body on a receiving table such that that the at least one unfired pillar shaped honeycomb formed body stands thereon;
• a honeycomb formed body conveying step of conveying the at least one unfired pillar shaped honeycomb formed body placed on the receiving table;
• a honeycomb dried body producing step of drying the at least one unfired pillar shaped honeycomb formed body conveyed in the honeycomb formed body conveying step, or drying the at least one unfired pillar shaped honeycomb formed body while conveying it in the honeycomb formed body conveying step to obtain at least one honeycomb dried body;
• and
• a firing step of firing the at least one honeycomb dried body to obtain at least one honeycomb structure,
• wherein the receiving table comprises at least one protrusion;
• and
• wherein, in the honeycomb formed body conveying step, the at least one unfired pillar shaped honeycomb formed body is conveyed while supporting it by inserting the at least one protrusion of the receiving table into a bottom surface of the at least one unfired pillar shaped honeycomb formed body placed on the receiving table.
