Abstract:
Provided is a method for conveying a separator that ensures stably conveying a separator material without leaving an indentation or the like. The conveyance method conveys a separator material for use in a single cell of a fuel cell. A hydrogen gas and an air are supplied for the fuel cell to generate electricity. The separator material has a rectangular shape in a plan view of the separator material, and the separator material has both sides on which a pair of through-holes are formed at proximity of a pair of hydrogen distribution ports through which a hydrogen gas flows. The conveyance method includes, when the separator material is conveyed, inserting a conveyance pin into each of the through-holes formed on the separator material, and in a state where the conveyance pin is inserted in each of the through-holes, conveying the separator material while pulling the separator material in a direction in which the conveyance pins mutually separate.
