Photography # 1: Lab, Cylinder gridding. 2.2: Kneading mixer The laboratory kneading mixer is a mechanic used to mix between 15 to 20 kilograms clay with the addition water. The machine is done with a rotation metal bowl and a top closed on witch one are fixed pallets and squeegees. The clay is addicted in the center of the mixer and the water is gradually added, the mix is constantly checked until to obtain a homogenous substance and subsequently formed into various test samples for the shaping using.
