Peter Pugger’s introduces the latest in extruding technology. With new patented vacuum dearing capability, the VPE-8SS studio power extruder eliminates the issues that are inherent with traditional manual wall extruders and air assisted power extruders. With hands free control, sealed extruding chamber and plenty of force to extrude even the toughest shapes (large or small), Peter Pugger’s new VPE-8SS is the solution to those challenging projects.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cimg style=\"float: right; width: 172px; margin: 0px 0px 10px 10px;\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0677\/5508\/2050\/files\/peter-pugger-VPE-8SS-Cutter-horizontal-mount.jpg?v=1684312920\" alt=\"Peter Pugger Power extruder horizontal mount\" data-mce-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0677\/5508\/2050\/files\/peter-pugger-VPE-8SS-Cutter-horizontal-mount.jpg?v=1684312920\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSTORES MOIST CLAY INDEFINITELY\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMOUNTS VERTICALLY OR HORIZONTALLY : Shown right with Horizontal mount option (not included)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eELIMINATES AIR BETWEEN “CHUNKS” OF CLAY\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEASY MOUNT EXTRUSION DIES\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eINTELLECTUAL (RAPID) RETRACT \u0026amp; EXTRUDING CAPABILITY\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePATENTED VACUUM DESIGN (45 YEARS PROVEN)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVARIABLE SPEED CONTROL (HAND OR FOOT OPERATED)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSEALED CHAMBER ELIMINATES NEED TO CLEAN OUT AFTER EVERY USE DUE TO DRIED OUT CLAY\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSMALL, EFFICIENT \u0026amp; QUIET\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAUTO SAFETY SHUT-OFF\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUSA MADE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaximum Batch Capacity*:25 pounds\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOperational PSI: 1200-2000psi\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDimensions: 38″L x 16″W x 21″H (Horizontal Version)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHopper Door Size: 5 1\/4″ x 5 1\/4″\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExtrusion Size: Multiple configurations avail.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHydraulics\/Electrical: 1\/2 HP 1-phase, 8 amps at 120 volts, 4 amps at 240V\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVacuum Pump: 1\/2 HP, 3 amps at 120 volts, 2 amps at 240V\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCrated Weight: 210lbs.

The excess clay can be easily removed from the vacuum chamber if overfilling occurs. \u003cbr\u003e Sealed Chamber: : Moist clay can be stored indefinitely since all openings are sealed. \u003cbr\u003e Extruder Output: Switch to EXTRUDE after a batch is loaded and the Power Extruder will begin extruding material using hand or foot operated controls. \u003cbr\u003e Aluminum and Stainless Steel Construction: The Power Extruder main chamber, hydraulic push rod plate and nozzle are made of aluminum to ensure clay processing without iron contamination. Stainless Steel main chamber, hydraulic push rod plate and nozzle option is available. \u003cbr\u003e Vacuum Deaired: Entire batch can be thoroughly deaired by starting the vacuum pump once batch has been loaded. Air is removed from around “clay chunks” leaving an air-free, high quality product. \u003cbr\u003e Variable Speed: Variable speed allows the operator to control the speed of the motor, thus the speed of the extrusion. This control is especially useful when extruding small objects through dies attached to the nozzle. \u003cbr\u003e Hand and Foot Operation: The Power Extruder can be operated using hand or foot pedal controls. \u003cbr\u003e Rapid Retract: Once the complete batch of material has been extruded, switch to “RAPID RETRACT” to quickly bring the cylinder head back into position for reloading. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSAFETY\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cb\u003e The power extruder is interlocked for safe loading and maintenance.
