Method for manufacturing plugged honeycomb structure and plug filling jig

摘要

There is disclosed a method for manufacturing a plugged honeycomb structure capable of manufacturing a plugged honeycomb structure in which the plugging depth is uniform. A method for manufacturing a plugged honeycomb structure, according to the invention, includes disposing a plug filling jig 6 so that it covers the side of the periphery of one end 7a of the honeycomb structure 3 at the side where plugged cells 4a are open and its tip locates being protruded from the end surface of the one end 7a, the end surface of the side of the one end 7a is separated from the surrounding space and the one end 7a of the honeycomb structure 3 where the plug filling jig 6 is disposed is pressed onto a ceramic slurry to thus introduce the ceramic slurry into the plugged cells 4a to form plugged portions.
