Zusammenfassung:A skinning apparatus (100) and a method of skinning a porous ceramic (110). The apparatus includes an axial skinning manifold (108). The axial skinning manifold (108) includes a curved adaptive pipe(128) to flow cement in a circumferential direction (C) from an inlet at a first position and through an adaptive opening (136) along an inner bend of the curve through a land channel (140) disposed along the inner bend. The land channel (140) emits the cement at a constant velocity from a land opening (142) extending proximate the first position to a second position spaced apart from the first position. The land outlet (142) emits cement at a constant velocity around the outer periphery of the porous ceramic (110) to dispose a uniform skin thereon as the porous ceramic (110) moves axially relative to the land outlet (142).
