Peter Pugger VPM-30 Power Wedger (Aluminum)
"From its inception in 1984, the VPM-30 caught the attention of the industry as the first and only Vacuum Deairing Mixing Pugmill of its kind. Since that time, Peter Pugger has incorporated several advancements into their extended line of Vacuum Dearing Mixing Pugmills. They are proud to announce the newly renovated VPM-30 with its “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 customers around the world have come to expect."
Features:
Stainless Steel: Shaft, augers and paddles of stainless steel, ensures corrosion-resistant clay processing.
The VPM-30, mixes up to a maximum of 85 Ibs. of moist clay. (Capacities vary depending on clay condition, type, moisture, etc).
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 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).
The Patented Vacuum Chamber serves as a separation chamber between the processing chamber (where clay is mixed and pugged) and the gear drive system.
The speed control allows the operator to slow the pugging as required.
The VPM-30 comes with 6″ diameter wheels. It is easily transported for cleaning and storage.
