Term · Industrial and trades · MLC-T-IND-000647

A machine used in the ceramics industry to mix clay with water to create a liquid slurry known as slip. It consists of a large tank fitted with a motor-driven agitator or impeller that rotates to break down the clay particles and keep them suspended in the liquid. The process produces a homogenous mixture with a consistent density, which is measured with a hydrometer.
