Abstract (en)

A method includes preparing together first layer means (112, 209, 256) and seconds layer means (108) in order to form layer means (108, 112; 108, 209; 108, 256) of ceramic granular material on support means (102), subjecting at least a portion of said layer means (108, 112; 108, 209; 108, 256) to a vacuum, to transfer together said first layer means (112, 209, 256) and said second layer means (108) of at least a portion of said layer means (108, 112; 108, 209; 108, 256) and pressing said at least a portion of said layer means (108, 112; 108, 209; 108, 256) in order to obtain a ceramic tile (104); an apparatus includes preparing means (206, 213, 210) arranged in order to prepare together first layer means (108) and second layer means (112; 209, 256) of layer means (108, 112; 108, 209; 108, 256) of ceramic granular material on support means (102) and transfer means (114) arranged to transfer together said first layer means (108) and said second layer means(112; 209, 256) into pressing means (118) through vacuum means in order to obtain a ceramic tile (104). <IMAGE>
