(57) A device for compacting flowable material, particularly for forming ceramic objects
(50), comprises a first half mould (52) interacting with a second half mould (51)
to define pressing cavity means (36'), suction means (36) associated with said first
half mould (52) and suitable for assisting the entry of said flowable material into
said cavity means (36'), said suction means (36) being so configured as to be operationally
movable in relation to said first half mould (52). Hopper means (41) is further provided that is suitable for delivering said flowable
material to said cavity means (36'), and distribution means (26, 27, 28, 29; 46, 47,
48) arranged for enabling uniform distribution of said flowable material in said hopper
means (41). The device comprises cleaning means (24, 25) configured so as to interact cyclically
with said second half mould (51), which is suitable for shaping a surface of said
objects (50) intended to remain visible during use. A device for compacting flowable material so as to form tableware (50) comprises a
first half mould (52) interacting with a second half mould (51) to define cavity means
(36') wherein said tableware (50) is formed, said second half mould (51) being arranged
for forming a surface of said tableware (50) intended to remain visible, suction means
(36) suitable for assisting the entry of said flowable material into said cavity means
(36'), said suction means (36) being operationally associated with said first half
mould (52).
