Ceramic
artists, like Gladys Soued and Bill Shinn, have explored
the extruding medium and developed outstanding results with their Bailey
Extruders. Look for

The Bailey Extruder System
The Bailey Clay Extruding “System”
is designed to offer easy extruding for both large and small scale forms.
The system concept refers to the fact that a series of different barrels
will fit into a “common” drive frame. Each barrel is designed to cover
a specific extrusion range, For instance, the 4” barrel will comfortably
extrude small forms (such as handles, etc.), the 5” barrel will
comfortably extrude medium size forms, the 9” barrel will comfortably
extrude large tube forms, and the tile barrel will comfortably extrude
both tiles and narrow rectangular shapes. This “overlapping” system
approach reduces the overall cost for equipment since only one drive frame
is required to plunge all system barrels.
|
Putting Your “System”
Together
1. Decide
on either the Manual or Power Drive Frame
2. Decide
on which barrels you need. Review the extrusion range of each individual
barrel. (We recommend the 4” & 9” system barrels).
3. If you
are doing large scale tubes, select the appropriate Cutting/Removing
Fixture.
4. Select
the appropriate Die Kits or individual dies. We recommend the die kits for
any school or beginning potter.
Please Read All The
Information Carefully!
NOTE: Not all clay
bodies are suitable for extruding.

Clay Extruder Drive Frames
Both Drive Frames come supplied
with (2) lag bolts to mount the unit to any suitable wood beam or wall
stud. All barrels and dies are ordered separately.
System 1 Clay Extruder:
Manual
Drive
Frame
The System 1 is a hand powered
drive frame. The heavy duty hand lever has been designed to provide
maximum leverage for easy clay extruding. The entire plunging assembly pivots
to the side to provide ample clearance for loading the barrel with clay. A
plunger safety stop protects the tube brace from being accidentally rammed
by the plunger.
Mounting: The System 1 will mount to any
structural wall, or the “Cutting/Removal Bracket.” The “Cutting/Removal
Stand” cannot be used.

System 3 Clay Extruder:
Power Drive Frame
This drive frame is the ultimate
method of extruding clay. Power drive allows the operator the greatest
amount of control in forming a shape. The clay extruding barrel can be
instantly reloaded in a matter of seconds. Barrels can be interchanged
with ease. The System 3 Clay Extruder provides a constant uninterrupted
flow of clay for the entire plunge of the barrel. Both hands are always
free to control the form. The System 3 Clay Extruder is powered by air.
Most extruding will require a setting on the Power Drive Extruder
regulator of about 90 to 100 lbs of pressure to extrude forms through the
dies. This means the actual compressor should have an auto
"on/off" setting on it's regulator (built into the compressor)
that supplies preferably about 85 (when it goes on) to 125 psi (when it
goes off). You do not want a compressor that comes on lower than 80 lbs
pressure. You can have a supply that goes up to 150 psi.The air flow is
controlled by a foot pedal. This unit comes complete with pressure
regulator, moisture trap, pressure gauge, and foot pedal.
Mounting: System 3 Clay Extruder can be mounted to any
structural wall or the Cutting/Removal Wall Bracket or Stand.

Clay Extruder Cutting/Removal Fixtures
The Cutting/Removal Fixtures (Wall
Bracket and Mobile Floor Stand) are extremely valuable components in
completing the large scale extrusion process. The function of these
fixtures is to cut and remove large scale clay extrusions accurately and
effectively.
How It Works
The clay extruder, the cutting
guide, and the parting platform mount on the central tracking
pole. You start by adjusting the clay extruder to a comfortable height. Next
you position the cutting guide approximately 6” below the die plate.
Next you place a bat on top of the parting platform. The first section of
clay extrusion is trimmed at the cutting guide to provide a square base. The
clay extrusion is continued down until it touches the bat. A cut is then made
at the cutting guide. At this point, the parting platform is pivoted to a
lower position to provide a gap between the upper and lower clay extrusion. The
finished form can now be removed without obstruction.
The Cutting/Removal Wall Bracket can
be used with any of the extruders. The Cutting/Removal Mobile Floor
Stand can only be used with the System 3 clay extruder. 28" Wide
x 28" Deep x 85" High.
Note: The photo on the
left does not depict all the hardware that comes with either fixture.
