We love the Peter Pugger pug mills! Peter Pugger is the innovator of this type of equipment for the pottery industry and they continue to offer quality products that are built to last.
"The Pugger-Mixer is a mixer that unloads itself and a pugmill that feeds itself"
It recycles scrap as well as mixes from dry powder. Complete processing of your clay in one machine saves you space, money, and best of all, your time. Since 1975, the Pugger-Mixer continues to support potters and institutions worldwide.
FEATURES
The VPM-100 mixes up to a maximum of 250 Ibs. of moist clay. (Capacities vary depending on clay condition, type, moisture, etc).
Stainless Steel: Shaft, augers and paddles of stainless steel, along with aluminum mixing/pugging chamber, ensures rust-free clay processing.
Large Hopper: The oversized hopper door opening allows for easy loading of clay per batch.
Batch Mixing Capability: Full batch mixing and blending capability allows for moisture adjustment before pugging.
Push Button Controls: The MIX/PUG/STOP buttons are mounted forward so they can be reached from the operator's side of the machine during loading or from the nozzle during extruding.
Pugmill Output: Switch to PUG after a batch is completely mixed, and the Pugger Mixer unloads itself in the form of round compacted logs.
High Quality, Heavy Duty Drive: The industrial rated electric motor, close coupled to a gear reduction transmission, is the highest quality available. Overload protection is provided in the magnetic motor starter
Work Surface: A frame of welded steel plate supports the auger shaft and encloses the drive for protection, cleanliness and safety. A cleanable work surface is provided on top for operator convenience.
On Wheels:The PM-50 and PM-100 come with 8" diameter wheels. They are easily transported for cleaning or storage.
