Peter Pugger VPM-100 Power Wedger (Aluminum)
"With the growing demand for high quality deaired clay for high production applications, the newly released VPM-100 carries a colossal “bang-for-the-buck” as the largest Vacuum Dearing Mixing Pugmill on the market today. 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 customers around the world have come to expect."
Features:
Aluminum: Mixing/Pugging Chamber made from 356A Aluminum Alloy.
*Also Available in Stainless Steel, Call For Pricing.
The VPM-100, mixes up to a maximum of 250 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 4″ 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.
