Graphitizing furnace, system, and graphitizing method

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To eliminate difficulty in designing a high-productivity system for the graphitization of the carbon bodies and provide a graphitization furnace and a system enabling design of a high-productivity system.SOLUTION: A graphitization furnace has a furnace structure including a support part within a furnace chamber, and a gate valve. The gate valve in an open state after a graphitization process dumps a pack material within the furnace chamber in a state in which carbon bodies are located within the furnace chamber, and the support part catches the carbon bodies as a level of the carbon bodies lowers with a decrease in an amount of the pack material remaining within the furnace chamber.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
