Mini Casting Tank
The G83A uses the same design and construction as the G83 but has been mounted in a self contained fibre glass tank with removable wooden casting rails . The tank is mounted on castor wheels - Fitted with bottom drain plug for emptying and cleaning.
Capacity approximately 15 gallons.
Gladstone manufacture a self contained Pilot Plant which is ideally suited for the small studio and college environment. It can be connected to a slip casting system or a filter press for the production of clay.
The unit is completely self contained and requires only one power supply. The Pilot Plant is supplied in two standard sizes, 45 gallon capacity and 75 gallon capacity. The standard equipment consists of a G84 or G82 Blunger, these have fibreglass tanks with bronze or stainless steel paddles driven by a motor and reduction gearbox via a stainless steel shaft. The loading chute is made from polypropylene and all wetted parts are manufactured from non corrosive materials. The blunger feeds a polypropylene storage arc via a vibratory sifter, magnetic separators can be fitted as an optional extra if required. The storage arc is fitted with a stainless steel gate paddle which is driven by a slow speed motor and reduction gearbox and comes complete with interlocked guard.
As standard the Pilot Plant is fitted with a double diaphragm air pump which is suited to the slip casting process for a small studio. If the Pilot Plant is to be used for larger capacities or for a filter press then the pump will have to be sized to the customer specific requirements at an additional cost.

G82 Blunger / G84 Blunger
Blunging is the process by which raw lump, powdered or plastic clay when mixed with water is reduced to slip for casting or decoration. The GLADSTONE electrically driven blunger has been specially designed for this purpose. The GLADSTONE blunger utilises two stainless steel paddles which rotate at approximately 150 rpm on a stainless steel drive shaft which is driven by a 0.75kW motor through a reduction gearbox. The hexagonal container is made from fibreglass and is fitted with an extended loading chute to avoid contact with the blades. The slip is run off through a valve at the base of the container. A stand can be supplied as an optional extra.

The Gladstone Slip Pump has been designed as a highly versatile method of slip casting both for studio and hobby ceramics. The pump uses a rotary vaned design capable of giving a good even flow. The pump also has an agitating effect on the slip keeping the slip in a usable condition for short periods of time and can also drain moulds by the use of a syphoning action.
