Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0922549A1] Method for loading powder into ceramic tile forming cavities (2) comprises the following operations: preparing on a surface (21) at least one layer of atomized powder; pressing said at least one layer; covering said at least one pressed layer with a possible further at least one layer of atomized powder; transferring said material layers in succession into a loading hopper (11) of a loading carriage (4); transferring material layers from said hopper (11) to the mould forming cavities (2). Device for loading powder into ceramic tile forming cavities (2) comprises a loading carriage (4) which is provided with at least one loading compartment (7) occupied by a grid (70) and having plan dimensions equal to the dimensions of the mould cavity (2) and which moves between two positions, in one of which the compartment (7) lies above the mould cavity (2) and in the other of which the compartment (7) lies below a loading hopper (11), and comprises a structure (12) driven with reciprocating movement between a position lying above the loading hopper (11) and a position distant therefrom, and on which there are located a motorized belt (21) with a flat portion, at least one service hopper (15) above the upper branch of the belt (21) and having its mouth transverse to the belt (21) and closed by a shutter (28), and a roller (40) pressing elastically on the upper side of the belt (21) and positioned downstream of said at least one service hopper (15) with reference to the direction of advancement of the belt (21), and acting against an underlying counteracting roller (41). <IMAGE>
