Abstract: A decorating machine particularly for the decoration of ceramic products, and a method for realizing a belt for decorating said ceramic products, wherein the machine comprises: a closed loop belt (3) for the transfer of a decoration (9) on a receiving surface (11) of a ceramic product; a plurality of conveyor rollers (2) about which said belt (3) is wound and moved in rotation; at least one of said conveyor rollers (2) comprises a central portion (12) and two end portions (14) opposite one another, at least one of said end portions (14) being free in rotation with respect to the other said portions (12, 14).

Abstract: A transfer decorating machine that utilizes powdered material or granules comprises: a mobile rest surface (10), on which the objects to be decorated are translated according to a predetermined direction; a device for the application of a decoration, operating above the mobile rest surface (10) and provided with a mobile transfer belt (3), which is a closed loop between movement rollers (2, 20) having mutually parallel axes, and serves the function of receiving a decoration realized with powdered material or granules (9) and then transferring it on objects to be decorated. Said device comprises a first unit (100) suitable for composing a decoration on the transfer belt (3) and a second unit (200) that carries out the transfer of the decoration from the transfer belt (3) onto an object to be decorated. The transfer belt (3) is commanded to move in a direction concordant with that of the mobile rest surface (10).

Abstract: The present invention relates to a granular material for decorative use, in particular for use in digital control decoration, and to a process for the preparation thereof, characterized by a calcinating step at high temperatures.

Abstract: A method for applying a pattern of granular material on a receiving surface includes in sequence the following steps: associating the granular material with a transferring surface together with a liquid aggregating phase and according to a prefiguration of the pattern; facing the transferring surface carrying the granular material and the liquid phase to the receiving surface in a transferring zone; heating at least one portion of the liquid phase in the transferring zone in order to detach the granular material from the transferring surface and applying the granular material on the receiving surface.

Abstract: A method for applying a pattern (21, 57) of granular material (12, 12b, 12c, 12d) on a receiving surface (13), comprising in sequence associating said granular material (12, 12b, 12c, 12d) with a transferring surface (3) together with a liquid aggregating phase (9, 20) and according a prefiguration (10, 10b, 18, 56) of said pattern; facing said transferring surface (3) carrying said granular material (12, 12b, 12c, 12d) and said liquid phase (9, 20) to said receiving surface (13) in a transferring zone (15, 45); the method further comprises heating at least one portion of said liquid phase (9, 20) in said transferring zone (15) in order to detach from said transferring surface (3) said granular material (12, 12b, 12c, 12d) and applying the latter on said receiving surface (13).
