The present invention relates to a method for producing a powdered porous productfrom at least one starting powdery and/or viscous product, characterised inthat it comprises the continuous following steps without exposing the productto open air: a) preparing the starting product in order to make it viscous; b) ina thermo-mechanical machine (10) for continuously realising transport and/ormixing functions of viscous products or dry-material rich products, loweringthe viscosity of the viscous product without changing its dry-material content,by intimate mixing with a gas injected into the processing machine (10) and simultaneouslyinitiating the porosity in the viscous product; c) continuously with the processingmachine (10), statically or dynamically intensifying the intimate mixtureof the viscous product with a gas in order to obtain an aerated and porous mass;and d), dividing said mass in order to obtain aerated and porous particles.
