The economy range of pugmills has been specifically designed for the studio and classroom environment. They are compact and lightweight make them easily transportable. This model is fitted with a hopper safety grid and thermal overload safety switch as standard. 

This model has the same specification as 7600, but it is fitted with a interlocked hopper safety switch.  This switch together with its high torque motor makes the pugmill extremely easy to load as there is no safety grid in the hopper to impede the flow of clay.  When the loading handle is raised the machine switches off and then on again when the loading handle is lowered.  Thermal overload safety switch is fitted as standard.

The same compact design as the 2” Mini, but has a larger 150mm barrel with a 75mm (2in.)outlet. This version has a greater output and due to its larger hopper is easier to use than the smaller 2” model.  A thermal overload switch is fitted as standard.

The same specification as the 7601 version , but is ffitted with a interlocked hopper safety switch negating the need for a hopper grid.

This vertical pugmill has a 150mm split aluminium barrel with a 75mm outlet and individual alloy blades mounted on a hexagonal shaft. It offers superior performance over conventional horizontal pugmills,  but has the advantage of only taking up a 60cm x 60cm foot print. The pugmill is sturdily mounted on its own stand, which only requires securing to a suitable floor.

The 100mm (4” ) vertical pugmill is extremely powerful and robust with the ability to handle all types of clays. The main body is manufactured from aluminium, with a auger also made up of individual alloy blades. The auger is mounted through two taper thrust bearings and is driven via a flexible coupling by a 1.1kW (1.5hp) helical geared motor with a final drive output of 18rpm. It is fitted with a safety interlock switch which eliminates the need for a grid in the loading hopper and is supplied with a separate nose cone that is pre-drilled to enable the use of die plates for coil extruding.

The tile extruder is a very versatile machine, besides extruding tiles, mouldings and coils etc can be extruded with the use of optional die plates. Using the standard 100mm dia. nose cone supplied with the machine enables other shapes, such as hollow forms to be extruded, again with the use of optional die plates. The tile extruder is a purpose designed machine for the extrusion of tiles. It has been designed around the standard de-airing pugmill, but using a larger higher torque motor gearbox unit. The machine is also fitted with a completely new nose cone outlet designed to enable tiles of approximately 280mm width by up to 25mm thick to be extruded. Smaller and /or thinner tiles can also be extruded by the use of accessory die plates fitted to the front of the nose cone. 

This cutting table has been designed to compliment the tile extruder pugmill. The cutting system comprises a table with formica top. A central rotary shaft secured by sealed roller bearings, which are adjustable to allow for different thicknesses. On the shaft are mounted sixteen cutting discs. As the wareboard of extruded clay is pulled by the operating lever, the cuttings discs are pulled through the clay.

Another addition to compliment the tile extruding pugmill. The table consists of a rigid base supporting a fully adjustable top. The adjustment allows for varying thicknesses of extrusion. On the suraface of the table is a paper roll, which allows to extrusion to run without buckling.

Super-twin shown making 125mm (5") tiles with the expansion chamber module

The Super-twin has been designed as a modular system, so the user need only purchase what they need for the process required. At any stage the unit may be up-graded (or down graded) easily and quickly in a modular clip-on approach. The options may be purchased at the same time as the base unit or at a later stage as required. Since the Super-twin has been designed as a modular system, up grading is a very simple and quick task, requiring no tools or mechanical expertise.

The same unit can be used for mixing/blending, recycling dry scrap, de-airing and exruding. Simply choose the module for the job and clip it on..

All components that are in contact with the clay are stainless steel to ensure negligible corrosion and clay contamination.

Opening the barrel to clean a pugmill is a chore no one enjoys. The Super-twin uses an innovative bayonet style locking system. This allows both the barrel and nozzle to be removed quickly and simply without using a single tool. similarly the shredder screen may be removed without tools in less than a minute.

The rotating bucket feed hopper totally shields the user from the auger at all times making this one of the safest pugmills available. Venco's innovative concept also allows effortless feeding of larger pieces of clay and scrap directly to the twin mixing augers - no cumbersome long levers, no heavy work - just simple clever design.

The large stainless steel mixing chamber houses two, inter-meshing, augers that efficiently crush and mix scrap before pushing out onto the extra-length, single, extruding auger. More blades are fitted to the extra length auger to provide greater extruding power for making tiles and other sections.
