METHOD FOR PRODUCING RARE-EARTH MAGNETS, AND SLURRY APPLICATION DEVICE

When a slurry in which a rare-earth-compound powder is dispersed is applied to sintered magnet bodies 1 and dried to apply the powder thereto, the sintered magnet bodies 1 are conveyed by a conveyer 2 and made to pass through the slurry 4 to apply the slurry to the sintered magnet bodies 1. Furthermore, a plurality of push-up members 51, which pass through insertion holes 22 provided in a conveyor belt 21, and protrude above the conveyor belt, are used to temporarily push up the sintered magnet bodies 1, and temporarily separate the conveyor belt 21 and the sintered magnet bodies 1. As a result, the slurry can be efficiently applied, even mass production can be suitably dealt with, and the slurry can be uniformly and reliably applied to the entire surface of each of the sintered magnet bodies.
