Abstract: A plant for the continuous and agglomerated manufacturing of articles obtained at least in part by compression of material. The plant comprises a carousel of working sectors equal to a number of fixed sectors with which the carousel operates. A frame supports the entire plant to allow the movement of the transfer elements for the mold and the products with respect to the working units.

Abstract: Press for manufacturing molded or pressed products, comprising a press tool fixed at one end of a moving cylinder. Said moving cylinder is coaxially mounted inside a fixed guiding cylinder fixed and coaxially suspended inside a cylinder forming the outer envelope of the press. The press has a moving wall defining a first variable volume chamber, eight hydraulic jacks with free differential pistons arranged in crown about the central cylinder. The outer envelope comprises a widening provided with at least a bore wherein are arranged explosion means to cause the displacement of the press tool when the press is used as a combined pneumatic/explosion press. The press has reduced overall dimensions, and may be adapted to the manufacture of different articles at various working rates by simple and fast modifications.
