Abstract
An apparatus for producing a green compact includes a circuit that circulates die assemblies, each of which contains a rubber mold having rubber in at least its side portion. The apparatus also includes a high density filling device that has a feeder for feeding powder into the rubber molds; a pusher or a vibrator or both a vibrator and a pusher; a die press machine configured to impart a compaction force sufficient to produce the green compact to each of the circulating die assemblies in succession; and a device for removing the green compact from each rubber mold. The high-density filling device, the die-press machine and the removing device are successively arranged along the circuit. Each of the circulating die assemblies has sufficient structural integrity to withstand the compaction force because all structure necessary to withstand the compaction force is present in the circulating die assemblies.
