Abstract: Cutting method of a layer(S) of ceramic powder material having a modulus of rupture that is smaller than about 10 N/mm2, comprising: a step of moving the layer(S) of ceramic powder material along a given path (P) in a moving direction (A) through a cutting station; and a cutting step, during which at least a first water-jet cutting device cuts said layer(S) of ceramic powder material along a first direction (D1) that is transverse to the moving direction (A), so as to cut said layer(S) of ceramic powder material and obtain a plurality of articles of ceramic powder material (MCP).

Abstract: A flaking plant (1) suitable for producing granular or atomised flakes of fine powders, comprising at least: a feeding system (3, 4) of said fine powders; means (5, 6) suitable for compacting said fine powders to obtain a uniform plate of cohesive material; and means for crushing said uniform plate, comprising a pair of opposite, parallel rotary shafts (9, 10), with which a first and second succession (11, 12) of coaxial discs (13) are respectively associated; the discs (13) belonging to said first succession (11) and the discs (13) belonging to said second succession (12) being spaced apart in the radial direction by an amount less than or equal to the thickness of the plate of cohesive material.
