Abstract
A system for continuously producing plate-shaped catalysts includes a mold press machine for press-molding a belt-shaped catalyst into a predetermined form. Two pairs of reciprocating grip delivery mechanisms are provided at the downstream side of the mold press machine. A cutting device is provided at the downstream side of the pair of belt-shaped catalyst grip delivery mechanisms. The length of the catalyst is detected after it passes through a cutting device. The cutting device is operated in response to a signal from the length detector. Control of the grip and delivery mechanisms includes performing a pass of delivery of the plate-shaped catalyst and release of the gripping mechanisms as necessary during cutting of the plate-shaped catalyst. The mold press can be operated continuously and the cutting is performed to always produce plate-shaped catalyst members having the predetermined length.
