Abstract
A method of applying a cement mixture to an exposed matrix of intersecting walls of a honeycomb body is disclosed. The method may include the steps of providing an applicator, feeding the cement mixture into applicator, forcing the cement mixture to exit the applicator with a substantially uniform velocity, while depositing the cement mixture on the exposed matrix of the honeycomb body.
Claims6
A method of applying a cement mixture to an exposed matrix of intersecting walls of a honeycomb body, the method comprising the steps of:
- providing an applicator including a flow distribution device with an inlet port and an elongated outlet port extending along an elongated axis and having a length L extending from a first end to a second end;
- feeding the cement mixture into the inlet port of the flow distribution device;
- forcing the cement mixture to exit the elongated outlet port, wherein the velocity of the cement exiting at a center of the applicator is less than the velocity of the cement exiting the applicator at a position L/10 from the first end or the second end of the elongated port;
- and
- depositing the cement mixture on the exposed matrix of the honeycomb body.
