Abstract: Shaped bodies of particulate material are produced by introducing an easily flowable slurry of water and particulate material into a mold with perforated walls and applying a sufficiently high pressure to the slurry in the mold so as to express a sufficient proportion of the liquid to allow physical contact and interengagement between the particles. The extrusion is carried out continuously in an extension process including: (A) introducing the slurry under high pressure, (B) conveying the slurry through a shaping section to (C) a draining and consolidation section with drain holds or slits (3), to leave the extruder through (E) an exit section in the form of a solid body (4).

Abstract: A method for producing shaped bodies of particulate material by introducing an easily flowable slurry of water and particulate material into a mold with perforated walls and by applying a sufficiently high pressure to the slurry in the mold so as to express a sufficient proportion of the liquid to allow physical contact and interengagement between the particles. The method may be carried out continuously in an extrusion process including introducing the slurry under high pressure into a extruder and conveying the slurry through a shaping section of the extruder to a draining and consolidation section of the extruder with drain holes and slits whereby a non-flowable, consolidated, shaped body leaves the extruder through an exit section.
