Abstract: A pressing device for pressing a layer of ceramic material, comprising:



a press (10), provided with a lower pad (11), provided with a pressing surface (11a) facing upwards and arranged below the active portion (3) of a first movable belt (2), and an upper pad (12), provided with a pressing surface (12a) facing downwards and arranged above the active portion (3) of the first movable belt (2);
a compactor (20), arranged upstream of the press (10), which comprises a lower presser (21), provided with a pressing surface (21a) facing upwards, which is arranged below the active portion (3) of a first movable belt (2), and an upper presser (22), provided with a pressing surface (22a) facing downwards, which is arranged above the active portion (3) of the first movable belt (2).
The pressers (21,22) of the compactor (20) can be activated independently of the pads (11,12) of the press (10).

Abstract: A method for decorating in thickness a ceramic slab, comprising the following steps:



preparing, on a decoration surface (10), a first soft decorated layer (L1) of ceramic material endowed with a decoration (V);
progressively transferring, by deposition, the soft decorated layer (L1) from the decoration surface (10) to a first deposition surface (50), situated at a lower height than the decoration surface (10), thus progressively forming on the first deposition surface (50) a second soft decorated layer (L2) which has a head (H) and a tail (T);
progressively transferring, by deposition, the second soft decorated layer (L2) from the first deposition surface (50) to a second deposition surface (83), situated at a lower height than the first deposition surface (50), starting from the tail (T) of the second soft decorated layer (L2), thus progressively forming on the second deposition surface (83) a third soft decorated layer (L3).
