Peter Pugger VPM-9 Vacuum Power Wedger (Pugmill and Mixer in One!)
| |
| Question: "When is Peter Pugger going to come up
with something small for us single potter studios?"Answer: The VPM-9 has arrived! With all the bells and
whistles, and a price that competes with the standard pugmills, the
VPM-9 does it all. Any clay that has not been fired can be reclaimed
in the VPM-9. Broken greenware, slop, powder and water can be thrown
into the pugmill and reclaimed in minutes. It is that simple.
The Power Wedger is the most versatile studio clay processing
machine on the market today. It can perform a variety of functions
efficiently, transforming clay in any form to a usable product.
Some examples:
-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.
-OR just mix a 25 lb. bag of clay - literally warm the clay by mixing
it.
When the clay is adequately mixed, it can be de-aired with vacuum and
pugged out in the form of logs ready for use.
| +
Shaft, augers and paddles of
stainless steel, along with aluminum mixing/pugging chamber,
ensures rust-free clay processing. |
| +
Large Hopper: The oversized hopper door allows for easy
loading of up to 25 lbs. of clay per batch. |
| Batch
Mixing Capability: Full batch mixing and blending capability
allows for moisture adjustment before pugging. |
| +
Switch to PUG after a batch is
completely mixed, and the Power Wedger unloads itself in the form
of 3" diameter deaired logs. |
| +
Each batch can be de-aired by starting
the vacuum pump when the load is mixed. Air is removed during the
last stage of mixing, leaving an air-free product when pugged out.
Our patented vacuum design allows us to
deair the clay without the use of cumbersome vacuum screens!
Vacuum is provided by a 1/16 HP double-headed rocking
piston type diaphragm pump. These new technology pumps are the
simplest and quietest vacuum source available. They are
maintenance-free and long lasting. The
VPM-9 Power Wedger does not require a large vacuum pump because
the clay is continuously exposed to vacuum in the sealed mixing
chamber. Once the clay chamber is evacuated, the vacuum
pump can be turned off. |
| +
Leaving moist clay in the Power Wedger
is not a problem. All the openings are sealed so clay will stay
moist indefinitely. |
| +
Real-time monitoring
of clay consistency can be accomplished while mixing. Similar to
an automatic transmission, the Pugger-Mixer can automatically
speed up or slow down based on the hardness of the clay being
processed. The operator can also control the speed by controlling
the variable speed knob. |
| + This allows the operator the ability to speed
up or slow down the pugmill. This is especially useful when
extruding through dies. Because of the back pressure generated by
a large amount of clay being forced through a small orifice, the
speed control allows the operator to slow the pugging as required.
In turn, perfect deaired configurations are easily extruded
through the Pugger-Mixer. There are additional advantages if you
are a "single potter studio". The ability to slow the
pugging allows for time to place pugged clay into containers or
bags. |
| + The stainless steel work surface creates a
durable work surface for convenience of the operator while
loading. The work surface is 12" x 14". |
| +
It is not necessary to continuously hand-feed the Power Wedger as
with standard pugmills. Load a full batch, close the lid and turn
it on - this eliminates exposure to moving paddles. The Power
Wedger shuts off automatically when the lid is opened. All
machines are equipped with a thermal overload for protection
against overheating. |
|
+
Cleaning With the removal of four bolts, the entire
mixing/pugging chamber can be removed so it can be conveniently
washed off. The paddles are then easily accessed for cleaning.
Cleaning is necessary only to avoid cross contamination. Since the
machines are completely sealed, moist clay can be stored
indefinitely without drying out. Cleaning is necessary only
to avoid cross-contamination. Since the machine is completely
sealed, it can be left for long periods of time without the clay
drying out. |

**Peter Puggers corrosion
resistant model VPM-9SS is for potters using porcelain clay bodies
with high alkalinity. The standard pugger has an aluminum
body. Under stable pH conditions (4.5 -8.5), aluminum has
the ability to form an oxide layer that allows it
to be naturally highly resistant to corrosion. However, when the pH
level rises above stable pH conditions, the oxide layer is unable
to renew itself fast enough, causing corrosion or pitting of
the aluminum. The VPM-9SS is made with a stainless steel body to
mitigate the corrosion issue.
