Peter Pugger VPM-60 Power Wedger
"Commonly referred to as the “Cadillac” of vacuum deairing mixing pugmills, this work horse has been a proven design for many different industries. Ironically, the VPM-60 contributed to the design of the Cadillac. General Motors and other Automotive companies utilize the VPM-60 for providing Engineers with warm modelling clay."
Features:
Aluminum: Mixing/Pugging Chamber made from 356A Aluminum Alloy.
The VPM-30, mixes up to a maximum of 140 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 8″ diameter wheels. It is easily transported for cleaning and storage.
