Abstract

An extrusion device comprises a die provided with feed passageways and grid-shaped extrusion slots, and a die mask covering the peripheral portion of the die on the extrudable material outlet side. The die mask is provided with a plurality of disconnected openings which are formed in the lower end of the inner surface thereof at predetermined intervals so as to be communicated with the extrusion slots of the peripheral portion of the die. By this extrusion device, the extrudable material is supplied from the openings into the outer periphery of the extruded body to form a honeycomb structure having a smooth outer peripheral surface and a thick outer wall.
