Offcourse it is both times processing plastic, and what kind of profit you can make out of it, weight of material processed as against $$$ income - dead right. My point is pressing 2 records a minute has still a better margin with a pressing setup of 300k then a injectionpress that does 1500 caps a ...

Great additions to this topic gentleman, great insight in todays (vinyl) production industry. Perhaps confronting but to the point. As a hobbyist there is not much what i can say about it, easy talking from the side, kinda makes me doubt to add to this topic but anyway... Comparing compression moldi...

Great topic, this has been a great start for my research today, thank you.

I dont think all plants close due liquidation/bankruptcy, some people are just 'done' with it. Not everybody keeps doing the same for tens of years esspecially smaller plants where it is experienced as very demanding. You have done it for years, things start to slow down, its getting hard to put in ...

I think the chances of you finding a pair of mould carriers lying around are slim to none. They usually live on the press and also how are you going to bolt them to your press platens without extensive modifications to the platens or carriers? Better to have new mould carriers designed around your ...

Hi Mike,

Hello llary, Yes i have realised from the start the equipement is not optimal for record pressing and it has been a fight till this point and will continue like that till the finish line too with numerous (major) set backs. Which is one of the reasons i am doing this on a hobby level to reduce risks...

Hello everybody, I have taking on the adventure to turn a 4 column press from the injection moulding industry and turn it around to a conventional semi-automatic/manuel compression record press.
