Abstract
Honeycomb extrudate is made by extruding a plasticized ceramic-forming batch material to form a length of wet honeycomb extrudate, transferring the extrudate to a support tray, and transferring the tray and extrudate to a dryer, the tray being capable of contactingly supporting greater than one-third of the circumferential surface of the wet extrudate. The extrudate is subject to reduced handling damage, e.g. from forces of gravitational and/or lateral acceleration arising during transfer.
