Three Main Pieces of Equipment for Potters

Clay Processors

These pieces of equipment prepare clay for use. Generally speaking, only potters who are doing a large volume of work will need to own their own. Commercially available clays have already been mixed and pugged.

The three main pieces of clay processing equipment are clay mixers, pugmills, and pugger-mixers. Clay mixers only mix clay body ingredients and are also used to recycle clay scraps. Pug mills homogenizes clay that has already been mixed. Pugger-mixers can do both.
