Hermetic Slurry Flow Path for Uniform Porous Body Production

The patent applies the inert atmosphere principle by hermetically sealing the flow path of expandable slurry from the mixer to the discharge opening, creating an isolated environment that prevents air bubbles from entering the slurry during continuous production. This sealed flow path maintains a controlled atmosphere, preventing the accumulation and coalescence of air bubbles that would otherwise occur in an open chamber system, thereby maintaining uniform air bubble distribution even during long-term continuous operation.

The patent segments the flow path into distinct sealed sections (mixer to discharge opening) that are isolated from the external atmosphere. By dividing the continuous production process into hermetically sealed segments, the system prevents air bubble contamination while maintaining continuous operation, thus resolving the contradiction between productivity and manufacturing precision.

The hermetically sealed flow path creates an inert environment that prevents air bubbles from accumulating in the slurry during continuous supply operations. This sealed system maintains ease of operation by enabling continuous slurry supply while simultaneously preventing the formation of large air bubbles that would compromise manufacturing precision.

The patent extracts the harmful air bubbles from the system by hermetically sealing the flow path, preventing their entry and accumulation. This extraction of the problematic element (air bubbles) allows the system to maintain both ease of operation and manufacturing precision simultaneously.
