Ceramic sanitary wares are cast using equipment (100) that comprises at least one mould (1) made up of two halves (2, 3) presenting relative cavities (2a, 3a) in which the cast item is formed, rendered capable of movement to and fro along a predetermined direction (A) toward and away from one another through the agency of a first actuator (4), in such a way that respective mating surfaces (2b, 3b) of the mould halves can be joined together or separated. Pressure forces acting on the mould halves (2, 3) from within are contained and controlled by a system (5) associated directly with the mould halves (2, 3), which comprises a mechanism (7) acting on the system (5) itself and on the halves (2, 3) of the mould (1) in such a way as to create a gap affording a free passage to the mould halves (2, 3) when drawn together and distanced one from another. In this way, at least one of the halves (2, 3) can be rendered independent of the containment and control system (5) for demoulding purposes.
