Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0829333A1] A device (1) for decorating ceramic tiles (3) comprises a conveyor (2) for tiles (3) provided with transversal strip (4) for transporting and correctly positioning the tiles (3). A skin (16) wound tube-like around a rotating frame (5) exhibits a smooth lateral surface externally of which a matrix is formed, constituted by small blind cavities destined to house small quantities of glaze. A feed conduit (7) deposits glaze on the external surface of the skin (16) and a doctor (8) removes excess glaze. Two rollers are arranged internally tangentially to the skin (16), a first (11) of which rollers presses the skin (16) against the doctor (8) and a second (12) of which rollers presses the skin (16) against the tiles (3) as they transit, so as to transfer the glaze on the matrix onto the tiles (3). <IMAGE>
