Machine and method for compacting ceramic powder (CP); a layer of non-compacted ceramic powder (CP) is conveyed in a feed direction (A) through a compacting device (2); downstream of the compacting device (2) there is positioned a detection device (8) which detects the density of the layer of compacted ceramic powder (KP); the quantity of ceramic powder (CP) fed to the compacting device (2) is varied in time as a function of what is detected by the detection device (8) to thus regulate the density of the layer of compacted ceramic powder (KP).

A filling apparatus for filling a mold volume of a mold with mold material. The filling apparatus comprises a frame, a retention plate mounted to the frame, and a shovel mounted to the frame, the shovel being complementary to the retention plate to define a reservoir for containing the mold material. The shovel is movable relatively the frame to open the reservoir for the mold material to fall onto the mold to fill up the mold volume, to scrape the surface of the mold and thereby to push exceeding mold material over the retention plate, and to abut the retention plate to form the reservoir. The filling apparatus is adapted to refill the reservoir with exceeding mold material once the mold volume is filled with mold material.
