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 Peter Pugger pugmill and reclaimed in minutes. It is that simple. We would like to thank all of you for your patience. FEATURES 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 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.

All the openings are sealed so clay will stay moist indefinitely. Intellectual Mixing Technology: Real-time monitoring of clay consistency can
