BLUEBIRD 12 Clay Mixer Instruction Manual

**BLUEBIRD 12 Clay Mixer Instruction Manual

**

The Bluebird Model 12 , modeled after the larger Bluebird mixer, features the same blade design and mixing action as the 245 mixer. It is designed to mix clay rapidly and efficiently, and to recycle scrap, thus reducing clay costs. For the studio potter its smaller batch size (50 Ibs. wet) makes it ideal for mixing specialty or colored clays. For schools with smaller clay programs it is perfect for storing and reclaiming scrap.

ACCESSORIES

Wheel stand includes legs (19″ high, 48 cm), and 2 wheels

• Easily bolts to mixer base
• Increases convenience and mobility.
