(57) A ceramics press with a device for charging the mold comprises a conveyor box (14) moving between a position for reception of powder therein and a position for dumping the powder into the mold. The device comprises a hopper (17) moving with the box (14) to transit above the mold during movement of the box and commandable for release into the mold of additional powders loaded therein. It is thus possible to achieve a surface layer of powder over the layer forming the body of the ceramic product.
