Vertical Clay Pugmill with 3 Inch Outlet for Studio Recycling and Extrusion
The CH7137 Vertical 3 Inch Outlet Pugmill is designed for ceramic studios, schools, colleges and workshops that regularly recycle larger quantities of clay. Its vertical design gives the machine a compact footprint compared with many horizontal pugmills, making it a practical option where floor space is limited but clay processing output still matters.
Manufactured with heavy section cast aluminium components, individually mounted auger blades and a 75mm extrusion outlet, this vertical pug mill is built for clay recycling, clay preparation and extrusion work. The auger blade configuration can be adjusted to suit different clays and extrusion applications, helping make the machine more versatile for studio and educational use.

Why Choose a Vertical Pugmill?
A vertical pugmill is useful for studios that need to process clay efficiently without taking up as much floor space as a conventional horizontal machine. The upright format is especially helpful for users who recycle clay frequently and need a robust, high-output clay pugging machine for regular workshop use.
The adjustable auger blade configuration makes this machine suitable for different clay bodies and extrusion requirements, while the split body helps make cleaning and maintenance more practical. For studios handling larger amounts of reclaim clay, the CH7137 offers a strong balance of output, compact footprint and durable construction.
