Manufacturing apparatus for flattened tube fins

A flattened tube fin manufacturing apparatus that manufactures flattened tube fins in which cutaway portions, into which flattened tubes for heat exchanging are inserted, are formed from one side toward another side in a width direction, the manufacturing apparatus comprising:

• a press apparatus equipped with a mold apparatus that forms the cutaway portions in an unmachined thin plate of metal to produce a metal strip;
• an inter-row slit apparatus which cuts the metal strip, in which the cutaway portions have been formed, into predetermined widths to form a plurality of metal strips of a product width that are arranged in the width direction;
• and
• a cutoff apparatus that cuts each of the plurality of metal strips of the product width formed by the inter-row slit apparatus into predetermined lengths,
• wherein a plurality of box-like magazines whose upper surfaces are open are arranged in the width direction downstream of the cutoff apparatus so as to stack the flattened tube fins formed by the cutoff apparatus cutting into the predetermined lengths.
