Abstract
A continuous elongate ceramic article manufacturing system capable of continuously manufacturing elongate ceramic articles having a predetermined length by continuously extruding a clay material containing clays as the principal components in a hollow or solid continuous strip, drying the continuous strip in a short time, firing the dried continuous strip, and cutting the fired continuous strip in the predetermined length. The system comprises a continuous arrangement of an extruder, a drying machine, a cutter, and a firing furnace arranged in that order, or a continuous arrangement of an extruder, a drying machine, a firing furnace, and a cutter arranged in that order.
