An installation for the production of a solid product from a powdered material comprises: a powdered material supplier; a die for receiving the material and forming the solid product to be produced; an upper punch which can co-operate in the die and which is driven in translation by a lower motorized cam; and a lower punch which can also co-operate with and in the die and which is driven in translation by an upper motorized cam. The upper and lower cams rotate in a synchronized manner. Moreover, the cam(s) are provided with an outer deformable profile which is intended to provoke particular actions from the punch that is moved in translation thereby.
