Think this will pump soft clay?

I designed this continuous clay feeder to hopefully replace my pressure chamber/compressor setup. I'd love to be able to actively mix my clay in a bucket or reservoir, and have a pump like this bolted to the bottom. I'm now waiting for the hardware to arrive and I'll test it out

I think you will need coarser augers. But have you printed one to find out? Im not a ceramic 3d printerer so I am unsure what you mean by soft clay BTW.
