(54)	Method for loading ceramic tile forming moulds, a plant for its implementation, and tiles obtained thereby

(57) The method for loading ceramic moulds presenting at least one forming cavity (3) to be filled with a layer of powder (51, 52) comprises preparing said layer of powder (51, 52) outside the mould (10), then inserting said layer into said at least one forming cavity (3) without appreciable dislocation and mixing of its constituent powder. The plant for its implementation comprises a loading carriage (66) provided with a powder restraining device, this latter comprising an enclosure (13) having a plan shape and a depth which are practically equal to the plan shape and the height of the layer of powder required to mould the tile (33), and is provided with means (11, 8) arranged to maintain said layer consistent during its transfer from its preparation station to the mould forming cavity.
