(57) A loading device (6) for a ceramic press (1) comprises a feeding means (10) capable
of feeding at least two types of ceramic material in powder, granules or flakes into
a containment means (18, 18a, 18b) containing said ceramic material which is able
to move between a loading position in which it receives said ceramic material from
said feeding means (10) and an unloading position in which it transfers said material
to said press (1), and a transfer means (8) for transferring said containment means
(18, 18a, 18b) to said unloading position, said containment means (18, 18a, 18b) being
capable of rotating in a plane substantially perpendicular to said loading plane.
The loading method comprises introducing at least a first type and a second type of
ceramic material by gravity into said containment means (18, 18a, 18b), placing it
in at least a first layer and at least a second layer, one above the other, transferring
said containment means (18) to a position for unloading the material into a press
(1), and subjecting said containment means (18, 18a, 18b) to a rotation in a plane
perpendicular to the press loading plane.
