In this process the slip clay is passed through a tank and the air content is evacuated by boiling out. The ability of the clay filter cakes formed from this slip to reabsorb a small amount of air insures freedom from air in the pugged clay if the pug mill is efficient as it can be in compacting the clay, without adding appreciable air to the clay. Freedom from gases results in a series of helpful conditions throughout the various stages of production.
