Abstract (en)

An apparatus and method for manufacturing ceramic products (2); a blank (4) comprising clay and up to 25% by weight of water is pressed between a first half-shell (5) of a mold (3) and at least a second half-shell (6) of the mold (3), so as to obtain a ceramic product (2); the first half-shell (5) comprises a molding body (7) having a molding surface (8) provided with a given shape which is pressed onto a face (10) of the blank (4) so as to obtain at least part of a face (11) of the ceramic product (2); during the compression of the blank (4), a gas is pressed through the molding body (7) towards the second half-shell (6); the ceramic product is subsequently fired.
