A trusted British-built mixer pugmill designed for batch clay mixing and reclaiming. Ideal for studios, schools, and universities needing safe, reliable clay preparation.
The Gladstone G78 Mixer Pugmill is a trusted solution for ceramic studios and education environments that need reliable clay mixing and reclaiming in one compact machine. Designed and manufactured in the UK, the G78 combines Gladstone Engineering’s long-standing reputation for durability with a practical, safety-first design.
Unlike traditional pugmills, the G78 is a batch mixer and pugger hybrid, allowing users to reclaim scrap clay, blend different clay bodies, and adjust moisture content in a single workflow. This makes it especially valuable in shared studios, teaching environments, and multi-clay practices where flexibility and consistency are essential.
At the heart of the G78 is a batch mixing system that simplifies clay recycling. The generously sized hopper allows easy loading of reclaim materials, while the internal stainless steel mixing blades ensure thorough blending before extrusion.
The result is smooth, workable clay delivered through a 75mm extrusion outlet, producing consistent logs ready for wedging, throwing, or further processing.
This makes the G78 ideal for:
Recycling studio reclaim
Blending multiple clay bodies
Adjusting clay moisture levels
Teaching clay preparation workflows
The G78 has long been a staple in schools and universities thanks to its strong safety features.
An interlocked safety lid prevents operation while open, reducing risk in busy teaching environments. Thermal overload protection safeguards the motor during heavy use, while the stable, compact footprint ensures safe placement within studios of all sizes.
This focus on safe operation makes the G78 a preferred choice for:
Education settings
Shared ceramic studios
Community pottery workshops
The G78 is built for long-term reliability using high-quality materials throughout.
A cast aluminium barrel provides strength without excessive weight, while the split body construction allows easy cleaning and maintenance — a key advantage in environments where multiple clay types are processed regularly.
Finished with a durable powder-coated exterior, the machine is designed to withstand years of daily studio use.
The G78 is not a vacuum de-airing pugmill.
Instead, it excels as an all-in-one mixing and reclaim machine — ideal for preparing clay before final wedging or feeding into a de-airing pugmill in larger workflows.
This clarity helps studios choose the right machine for their process while avoiding over-specification.
