This is a repost, sorry the first had no subject
Hello,
We have a venco 3.5 inch de-airing pugmill that just doesnt seem to put =
out clay very fast. I do know it is getting proper power and is only 2 =
1/2 years old. We bought it used from a local school. When we got it it =
seemed in great condition aside from the hopper handle being bent =
severly down. My uneducated assumption is that stiff clay may have been =
forced into it and that bent the screw. I used a 4 inch model at another =
pottery and it really pushed out the clay.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,

Chris,
I too, have had the same problem. Good advice about regular cleaniung
of the sieve. Make sure you get a good seal on the barrel seam. Don't want
air sucking in to rob you of a good suction on the clay in.(that's if your
pug mill does de-airing too.) Good luck, Rich off to Belize,"The Clay
Stalker"
