(57) A plant (1) for forming ceramic tiles or slabs comprising a conveyor belt (2) on which a continuous strip (100) of powdered ceramic material is created, compacting devices (4, 5) that allow said strip (100) of powders on the belt (2) to be subjected to continuous pressing to obtain a coherent article of compacted powders, and means that allow the lateral containment of the material on the belt. Said means comprise at least one pair of longitudinal parallel containment walls (8, 9), between which the powdered material is contained, each of said containment walls (8, 9) comprising a main body (80, 90) with high elastic deformability, and at least one longitudinal core (81, 91) having a modulus of elasticity of more than 1000 N/mm² that, associated with said main body, extends substantially for its entire length.
