Abstract
A manufacture method of briquette for use as metal stock is provided which increases the efficiency of drying porous masses so as to shorten a drying time, and which provides a simplified constitution for reducing an installation area of a system and for reducing the running cost and initial cost of the system. The porous masses are formed by compression molding a recyclable material containing metallic powder. The compression molded porous masses are fed into a tubular member, into which hot air is blown for drying the porous masses.
Claims5
A manufacture method of briquette for use as metal stock comprising:
- a molding step of forming each of a plurality of porous masses by compression molding a recyclable material containing a powder metal;
- a drying step of feeding the porous masses into a tubular member and blowing hot air into the tubular member thereby drying the porous masses, wherein two immediately adjacent porous masses within the tubular member are in contact with each other during the drying step;
- and
- an impregnating step of dipping the porous masses in a solidification assistant prior to the drying step, thereby impregnating the solidification assistant into the porous masses, wherein in the impregnating step, each of the porous masses is dipped in the solidification assistant heated to a temperature higher than that of each of the porous masses.
