A device for applying clay to a surface, in particular for producing models, including a housing with a connection piece for a clay supply hose and with a clay dispensing opening. A disk, which is rotatably seated in a clay dispensing flange opening in a clay-tight manner and is driven by a motor, has the dispensing opening and otherwise closes off the flange opening, and has an elevated portion on its exterior.

The invention relates to a device for the manufacture by extrusion of a porous tubular support from a ceramic composition, the device including: a fixed extrusion die (6) in which is mounted a punch holder (7) provided with a centered rectilinear punch (8a) and with at least one helically-shaped punch (8) wound around an axis of symmetry (X) along a winding direction and a winding pitch; a system (10) for driving in rotation the punch holder (7) around said axis of symmetry (X) along a direction of rotation opposite to the direction of winding of the punch(es) (8) and at a speed of rotation synchronized with the linear speed of extrusion of the ceramic composition.
