Abstract: The present invention provides an apparatus for manufacturing activated carbon fiber, which enables continuous production with high productivity. This apparatus is configured in a U-shape and comprises the first vertical furnace, the second vertical furnace, and the connecting portion to connect both furnaces at the lower parts. This apparatus employs neither the air curtain method nor the water seal method that requires drying process to shut off air from the furnace. In this apparatus, raw materials are introduced from the inlet on the upper part of the first furnace. Then they are subjected to pyrolysis, carbonization, and activation as they pass through the first furnace, connecting portion and the second vertical furnace. Finally they are taken up from the outlet on the upper part of the second furnace to be an active carbon fiber product.
