A method and a device for making catalyst containers preparing, on a single semi-automatic production line, a station ( ), at least a monolith enclosing the monolith with an insulating mat and bonding the insulating mat on the monolith; then slipping and automatically positioning the assembly obtained, in a precut tube, into a mounting and positioning assembly ( ); etching the tube in an etching station ( ); then transferring it into specific elements ( ) for retaining, clamping and driving it in rotation; inserting an insulating cone at stations ( ) dispensing and installing insulation cones; heating simultaneously the ends of the precut tube at a heating installation ( ) maintaining the temperature at the ends to be deformed; deforming the ends, after a predetermined temperature is reached using a device with deforming rollers ( ), while maintaining the forming temperature; extracting and evacuating the resulting container after the floturning and spinning process, towards a continuous cooling device ( ), the box being delivered, at the outlet of the cooling device ( ) into collecting elements ( ) before being stored, conditioned or subsequently assembled.
