A method for manufacturing ceramic pieces with perforations comprising pressing wet powder (4) into a mold (1) from which a ceramic covering piece will be obtained. A flat body (7) that is later dried and baked is obtained with the pressing and hence, the ceramic piece is obtained. One or several perforations (8) may be made during the pressing process so that the flat powder body (7), so that the ceramic piece resulting from baking the flat powder body includes the perforation or perforations (8) that can be used for inserting or passing the elements for fastening the ceramic piece to a face. The perforations (8) are made with perforating punches (6) embedded in the pressing tamper (3) of the mold (1) and partially emerging in order to be inserted during pressing in the powder mass (4′), producing the corresponding perforations (8). The powder (4″) of each perforation is contained unpressed in the perforating punch (6) and is emptied once the pressing operation has finished. A device for making the ceramic pieces is also disclosed.
Method for manufacturing ceramic pieces with perforations, based on the pressing of wet powder in order to achieve a flat body that is subsequently subjected to a drying and baking process in order to achieve the final ceramic piece, wherein it comprises making one or several holes during the pressing step of the wet powder, defining one or several perforations passing through the flat body of the pressed powder, from which the final ceramic piece is obtained.
Device for making perforations in ceramic pieces, and based on a mold wherein the pressing of the wet powder takes place in order to obtain a flat body that is subsequently subjected to drying and baking in order to obtain the final piece, wherein the tamper that carries out the pressing in the mold, has one or several punches or perforating elements comprised of respective hollow cylindrical bodies, partially embedded in said tamper and with a part emerging for its sticking in the wet powder during the pressing thereof.
