Soldner Clay Mixers

by Muddy Elbow Manufacturing

Soldner Clay mixers are still being manufactured with the same quality of construction that has developed their solid reputation for performance over the past 36 years.

Studio Model Professional Model

Soldner clay mixers are a fast and efficient way of mixing fresh clay from powder or reprocessing scrap clay into a useable consistency. There are no sharp blades or augers but rather the clay is pushed against the stationary mixing bars by a slowly rotating concrete tub.

What makes a Soldner Clay Mixer so good.

We use American made industrial quality Baldor motors and gear reducers

Most of the repair parts needed to maintain our mixers are off-the-shelf parts and available locally in most places.

Mixer bars are 1" solid stainless steel.

Steel reinforced concrete tub.

Most Soldner mixers that have been manufactured are still in service, even some of the earliest ones from 30 years ago. Every effort is made to insure this same quality in our new mixers. I have used a Soldner Pro mixer in my own studio for the past 19 years, mixing 12-23,000 pounds of clay per year. The machine has always performed flawlessly. I have a great deal of respect for Paul and the reputation of his mixers, and I am pleased to be a part of this tradition.
