NorthStar Extruders
Click for information about these models:
Stainless • Jumbo
Stainless • Dies • Expansion
Box • Big Blue
The Northstar extruder has a stainless
steel barrel with a powder-coated exterior
surface, frame and handle.
The Stainless Extruder offers versatility and can be used with just about any clay type, as long as the clay is
soft and easy to work with your hands. Because stainless steel won't
rust, it is ideal for use with stoneware clays and porcelain. If you're
going to use these clay types, the Stainless extruder is your
best choice.
Remember:
Stainless extruders come with the NS915 Basic Die Set. Several of the dies contain 4 cavities of different sizes.
Use the die mask to block off any three of them.

Expansion Box Kit
(Shown with a Georgies' glaze pint jar to illustrate scale)
The
Expansion Box is an extruder accessory that allows you to make
larger extrusions from your current NorthStar 4" extruder.
The kit includes the Expansion Box, die retainer ring and mounting
bolts, hex wrench, three piece spacer board and lag bolts, and
a sample die (NS9830, the 6" Bread Tray).
The
Expansion Box is made of high-quality aircraft-grade aluminum
alloy. All the mating surfaces aremachined flat for a tight seal.
The die retainer ring (and hardware for it) are made of steel.
All outside surfaces are powder-coated with NorthStar's distinctive
blue for a durable, lasting finish and years of use.
Die Expansion Box Package includes die set NS991 and center brace NS983 to fit expansion box.

In
the stainless extruder, every part contacting the clay is
either stainless steel or plastic, and will not discolor
even the most delicate and whitest of porcelains. |
NorthStar's
Standard dies are made of 1/2"-thick polyethylene,
which is extremely wear-resistant and completely non-contaminating.
The top edge (facing the clay in the extruder barrel) is
beveled to compact the clay as it passes through for a crisper,
more solid extrusion. In the hollow dies, there is a bevel
on both the interior and exterior portions under each side
of the bracket (which holds the hollow dies' center pieces)
that helps the extrusion to "heal" after it has
been split by the bracket. This bracket fits into a Z-shaped
slot machined into the top of the hollow die. The bracket
is held in place by the barrel of the extruder. If a hollow
die is mounted in place, the center part is automatically
in exactly the right place and the wall thickness will be
even all the way around. |
