(54)	Device for loading moulds in a press to produce tiles and method of loading

(57) The device comprises: a carriage (17) equipped with an alternate loading movement along a sliding surface (19); on said carriage, a main grid (23) which receives a base powder material from a first loading means (33) and transfers said base powder material to a cavity of said mould; on said carriage, in front of the main grid, an auxiliary tray (29) for loading an additional powder material, such as a coloured enamel or the like. The auxiliary tray is at a distance from the main grid, in the direction of movement of the carriage, notwithstanding the dimension that the mould cavity has in said direction and preferably less than this. Moreover, the auxiliary tray has a bottom closing component controlled in synchronism with the movement of the carriage in relation to said mould.
