New improved clay press.

The Bluebird Powerstar-1 is a mid sized, heavy duty pugmill specifically designed for efficient, thorough reclaiming and wedging, making it an excellent investment for school or university ceramics departments and full time production studios. Design features distinguish the Powerstar-1 and reduce required maintenance:

  • Direct-drive gear-reducer and 1 hp motor
  • Air-piston activated vacuum rod
  • Self-lubricating internal bearings

The Powerstar-1 produces consistently dense, plastic, de-aired clay for throwing, slab rolling, hand building, ram pressing and jiggering. Enhance ease of operation with addition of optional wheel base. If your clay use averages between 1,000 and 2,000 lbs per month, the Powerstar-1 is the machine for you!
