It measures 27\" x 11\" x 36\" and has a 16 quart stainless steel reservoir.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHow does it Work?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Fountain Glazer is a foot powered tool, requiring no electricity, hydraulic or pneumatics in its operation. After filling the glaze reservoir the operator holds an inverted pottery form over the center of the bowl and depresses the foot pedal. A controlled velocity \"fountain of glaze\" coats the inside of the vessel in one swift motion, then the pot is dipped into the glaze to the desired level (see vacuum hand description) to complete the glazing cycle. Our specially designed and cast bell pump provides a low volume, high velocity glazing action making it possible to glaze a wide variety of inside pot shapes. Convenient water clean out fittings are provided to clean out the pump and the stainless reservoir is also easily cleaned for glaze change over.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhy do I need one?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTime savings.

But the insides of very big bowls, even as large as the basin, can be fountain-glazed.

A comfortable vacuum handle and a 10' long reinforced vacuum line attach to our (optional) portable vacuum pump or to the vacuum pump from your de-airing pug mill. The Vacuum Hand is a companion tool of the Fountain Glazer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHow does it work?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith the appropriate vacuum pump operating, the Vacuum Hand suction head is positioned on the bottom where it will take a firm hold. The operator then holds the pot over the Fountain Glazer reservoir (or other glaze container) and dips the pot down to the desired level. The freshly glazed pot is then righted and the vacuum is manually released.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"RAM","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45113678168386,"sku":"RAMFG","price":1249.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0677\/5508\/2050\/files\/IMG_1393_600x600_f10510a8-5244-4187-83cb-4fe00c49cdf3.jpg?v=1791876652","url":"https:\/\/www.sheffield-pottery.live\/products\/ram-products-fountain-glazer-ramfg","provider":"Sheffield Pottery Inc.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
