Peter Pugger PM-50 Pugmill / Mixer

PM-50 PETER PUGGER PUGMILL / Clay Mixer Here you can order a PM-50 PETER PUGGER PUGMILL from Sheffield Pottery Ceramic Supply.  The Peter Pugger Pugger-Mixer is a unique self-unloading clay mixer with pugmill output. 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. Batch Mixing: Batch mixing and blending capacity allows for thorough mixing and 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. 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. On Wheels: The PM-50 and PM-100 come with 8" diameter wheels. They are easily transported for cleaning or storage. Enclosed Drive: 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. Large Hopper: The large hopper door allows for easy loading of large chunks, scraps or dry powder. Pugmill Output: Switch to PUG after a batch is completely mixed and the Pugger-Mixer unloads itself in the form of round compacted logs. Stainless Steel: Shaft, augers and paddles of stainless steel, along with aluminum mixing and pugging chambers, insure clay processing without iron contamination. Two Sizes: There are two models available - the PM-50 with a maximum batch size of 135 Ibs. of moist clay and the PM-100, which mixes up to a maximum of 250 Ibs. of moist clay. (Capacities vary depending on clay condition, type, moisture, etc.) CAPABILITIES The Pugger-Mixer transforms unfired clay in any form to a usable product, while efficiently performing a variety of functions including: Mix moist clay from powder and water. Reclaim scrap-wet or dry. Blend two or more different bodies. Add materials (wet or dry) to an already moist body. Adjust moisture of an already wet body. When the clay is thoroughly mixed, it is pugged out in the form of compacted logs. SAFETY It is not necessary to continuously hand-feed the Pugger-Mixer as with standard pugmills. Load a full batch, close the lid and turn it on - this eliminates exposure to moving blades. The Pugger-Mixer shuts off automatically when the lid is opened. CLEANING Thorough cleaning is easy with the pugging chamber and nozzle removed. Complete access to the auger blades allows the parts to be scraped or hosed clean quickly. Cleaning is minimized or even eliminated if the openings are sealed with plastic between regular uses.
