NorthStar’s Big Blue Extruder looks and works like no other. It is designed to be simple and safe to use, yet powerful. This extruder features a 6″ x 6″ x 12″ barrel that holds a full 25-pound pug of clay. It can produce extrusions up tp 4½” x 4½”, without an expansion box or additional hardware.
-There are no heavy bars or levers to injure head or feet, and no hydraulic pumps or air compressors with their inherent hazards. Instead, it’s entirely hand-driven. Turning the large handle drives a compound rack-&-pinion gear box which dramatically reduces the force needed to make extrusions. You need no more than 30 pounds of force to produce most extrusions!
-Solid construction is worry-free, and there’s almost no maintenance required.
-The barrel is heavy-wall aircraft-quality aluminum alloy. Only UHMW (the material of the dies), aluminum and stainless steel come into contact with the clay. The housing is made of powder-coated steel and stainless steel. All gears and the gearbox are solid steel, either stainless or plated.
-The Big Blue includes: the NS992 Large Hollow Die set, one blank die, and the NS983 Stainless Steel Center Brace (needed for all hollow dies).
**All dies to fit this extruder are under “Big Blue Extruder Dies (6″)**
-Die adapter is available to use NorthStar’s standard 4” dies (part #NS982)
