He wanted a firing chamber large enough to accommodate large pieces; it had to provide easy access to the fired pieces and it had to be portable. After taking his idea and requirements to a friend and fabricator, Mike Blackwell, the “Clam Shell” was born. As others showed interest in the Clam Shell design, the need to fabricate and manage the sell of the units become apparent. In turn, John would approach Joe at the Clay Art Center in Tacoma, WA to collaborate on the next generation clam shell raku kiln. Soon, Moses of Clay Art Center would “carry-the-torch” with the design and fabrication of the kiln. As the demand for the Clam Shell continued to grow, there was a need to find a manufacturer capable of supplying the kilns at a production level. Clay Art Center would approach Peter Pugger in hopes of keeping the “torch lit” in the ongoing expansion and production of the kiln. Peter Pugger is both honored and proud to carry on a long tradition of a quality raku kiln and hopes to see others benefit from the Clam Shell design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"abz-seo-product\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eFEATURES\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConstructed from high temperature fiber in a laser cut and formed metal frame. \u003cspan style=\"color: #e22605;\" color=\"#E22605\"\u003eThe sides fold down to offer unparalleled access to the hot ware.\u003c\/span\u003e One person can easily fire this kiln, load and unload it without assistance.

Known as a “working mule”, the VPM-100 leverages off the PM-100 design originally unveiled in 1975. However, Peter Pugger has incorporated a “chainless”, maintenance free geardrive system, state-of-the-art VFD technology, updated vacuum chamber and robust auger design that embellishes the quality and performance that our customers around the world have come to expect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStainless Steel\u003c\/strong\u003e: Shaft, augers and paddles of stainless steel, along with an aluminum mixing\/pugging chamber ensures rust-free clay processing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLarge Hopper\u003c\/strong\u003e: The oversized hopper door allows for easy loading of up to 250 lbs. of clay per batch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBatch Mixing Capability\u003c\/strong\u003e: Full batch mixing and blending capability allows for moisture adjustment before pugging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePugmill Output\u003c\/strong\u003e: Switch to PUG after a batch is completely mixed, and the Power Wedger unloads itself in the form of 4? diameter deaired logs (standard).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVacuum Deaired\u003c\/strong\u003e: Each batch can be deaired by starting the vacuum pump during the last stage of mixing, leaving an air-free product when pugged out (no need to run the clay through the pugmill multiple times). Once the entire batch of clay has been deaired, switch the pugmill to PUG, and press start. Any remaining deaired clay in the machine can be stored for later use without having to remix or deair. \u003cstrong\u003eOur patented vacuum design (Click here for full list of patents) allows us to deair the entire batch of clay without the use of cumbersome vacuum\/shredding screens, or down time due to a clogged pugmill!

In the event the pugmill is overfilled, the excess clay is collected in the vacuum chamber where it can be easily accessed and redirected back into the processing chamber in time for the next batch (if necesary). The Vacuum Chamber door is designed to disengage before excess clay can generate enough pressure to damage the gear drive system. This is a key design feature for mixing pugmills where clay is being forced up against the rear of the processing chamber during the mixing cycle. \u003cstrong\u003ePeter Pugger is the only mixing pugmill to provide extra protection against vacuum and bearing seal exposure resulting in maintenance free operation.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVariable Speed Control\u003c\/strong\u003e: 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”.

In the event the pugmill is overfilled, the excess clay is collected in the vacuum chamber where it can be easily accessed and redirected back into the processing chamber in time for the next batch (if necesary). The Vacuum Chamber door is designed to disengage before excess clay can generate enough pressure to damage the gear drive system. This is a key design feature for mixing pugmills where clay is being forced up against the rear of the processing chamber during the mixing cycle. \u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #e22605;\" color=\"#E22605\" data-mce-style=\"color: #e22605;\"\u003ePeter Pugger is the only mixing pugmill to provide extra protection against vacuum and bearing seal exposure resulting in maintenance free operation.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eVariable Speed Control:\u003c\/b\u003e This allows the operator the ability to speed up or slow down the pugmill.

In turn, perfect deaired configurations are easily extruded through the Pugger-Mixer. There are additional advantages if you are a \"single potter studio\".

In the event the pugmill is overfilled, the excess clay is collected in the vacuum chamber where it can be easily accessed and redirected back into the processing chamber in time for the next batch (if necesary). The Vacuum Chamber door is designed to disengage before excess clay can generate enough pressure to damage the gear drive system. This is a key design feature for mixing pugmills where clay is being forced up against the rear of the processing chamber during the mixing cycle. \u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #e22605;\" color=\"#E22605\"\u003ePeter Pugger is the only mixing pugmill to provide extra protection against vacuum and bearing seal exposure resulting in maintenance free operation. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eVariable Speed Control:\u003c\/b\u003e This allows the operator the ability to speed up or slow down the pugmill.

In the event the pugmill is overfilled, the excess clay is collected in the vacuum chamber where it can be easily accessed and redirected back into the processing chamber in time for the next batch (if necesary). The Vacuum Chamber door is designed to disengage before excess clay can generate enough pressure to damage the gear drive system. This is a key design feature for mixing pugmills where clay is being forced up against the rear of the processing chamber during the mixing cycle.\u003cspan\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ePeter Pugger is the only mixing pugmill to provide extra protection against vacuum and bearing seal exposure resulting in maintenance free operation \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/peterpugger.com\/history\/patents\/\"\u003e(Click here for full list of patents)\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVariable Speed Control:\u003c\/strong\u003e 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”.

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\".

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. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eWork Surface:\u003c\/span\u003e The motor and drive are covered for protection, cleanliness and safety.
