Moka Posted June 13, 2019 Report Share Posted June 13, 2019 Hello, I am looking for a pugmill with a minimum nozzle diameter of 130 mm (5.1 inches). The most popular brands like Shimpo and Venco etc. do not sell this kind of sizes. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilestrick Posted June 13, 2019 Report Share Posted June 13, 2019 Will the pug be a solid pug, or will you be using a die on the end? If you're using a die to extrude a particular shape, it's possible for the extrusion die width to be greater than the nozzle width, because the clay will squish out to fill the die.

A solid round extrusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilestrick Posted June 13, 2019 Report Share Posted June 13, 2019 Have you talked with any of the manufacturers to see if they have a method of expanding the nozzle? If you can't find a studio model that is big enough, you'd have to go to an industrial machine, which is a really big jump up in size and cost.
