Abstract:
A column-shaped porous honeycomb structured body forms a plurality of first flow passages that are opened on one end face and closed on the other end face and a plurality of second flow passages that are closed on the one end face and opened on the other end face. The honeycomb structured body comprises: central partition walls where sectional areas of each first flow passage and each second flow passage are individually constant in an axial direction; and other-end-side inclined partition walls where the sectional area of each first flow passage is shrank and the sectional area of each second flow passage is expanded from the central partition walls to the other end face. An axial-directional length of the other-end-side inclined partition wall is 4 mm or more.

An integrated closing tool is inserted into a part of hexagonal cells in a green honeycomb molded body including a plurality of hexagonal cells that open in an upper surface and a lower surface of a columnar body and are mutually partitioned by partition walls to join the partition walls together, thereby closing the hexagonal cells. A part of the integrated closing tool is separated, and tool separated pieces separated from a part of the hexagonal cells into which the closing tool has been inserted are removed.

Abstract:
A plurality of inlet-side octagonal cells and outlet-side quadrangular cells partitioned by partition walls on an upper surface and a lower surface are opened in a green honeycomb molded body in which a plurality of through-holes partitioned from each other by the partition walls are open in an end surface of a columnar body. Four outlet-side quadrangular cells having a smaller opening area adjoin around one inlet-side octagonal cell through the partition walls. The partition walls are joined together and the inlet-side octagonal cells are opened while closing the outlet-side quadrangular cells on the inlet side and the outlet-side quadrangular cells are opened while closing the inlet-side octagonal cells on the outlet side in a particulate-matter-removing filter such as a diesel particulate filter.
