High capacity automatic record press
Hi everyone,
do you think think that the LP producers would be interested in high capacity automatic machines (400-700 pcs/hour) ?
Mainly focused for large productions (same title in large quantities)
Thanks for every insight and reply.

Re: High capacity automatic vinyl press
5 to 7 seconds cycle time for a 12" vinyl record (from a single stamper set anyway) does not sound realistic to me.
So I think either you have revolutionized the business or don't know what you are talking about – sorry.

Re: High capacity automatic vinyl press
Thanks a lot for your reply and constructive answer. Maybe I have
You are correct, cycle time for this technology would be arond 10-5 sec per (counting around 7 sec in real production)
5 sec is reasonable...

Re: High capacity automatic vinyl press
Looking at the cycle times you mention you are talking about injection molding records?
Re: High capacity automatic vinyl press
No, it is not injection molding. Only using different technology than standard pressing machines.

Re: High capacity automatic record press
Who wouldn't be interested? Injection moulded 7" records had a cycle time of 9 seconds so a 12" record that is NOT injection moulded in 5-7 seconds seems unrealistic but if you have achieved this, let us know.
Re: High capacity automatic record press
5 seconds is not enough time to properly mould a 12" PVC record either by injection or compression moulding. If you have some working prototype that can mould a large thin flat part with 3D details like this in 5 seconds then forget about vinyl pressing, I know people in automative and optical industries who would pay a fortune for this technology.
To answer your question, of course pressing plants would be interested in a machine that could output 400-700 records/hr/machine. But I would also be interested in a double date with Megan Fox and Mila Kunis. Which one is more likely to happen is anyone's guess...

Re: High capacity automatic record press
Thanks for your reply. As I said those cycle times should be achieved with different pressing technology, that is now standard for most of the producers. As we are now in phase of design and calculations, we will provide some more details later.
Re: High capacity automatic record press
Hello Ilary, thanks a lot for your reply. As I stated before, those cycle times should be achieved with different pressing technology than is now standard. Regarding the automotive and optical industry, can you please share some more details regarding the final product, so we can check if this technology would be also suitable? Thanks
Re: High capacity automatic record press
Jay, mmmh, seems that it is just an "idea" then a real product or machine? There will
be interest of course! When you can do 4000 records in one 8 hour shift, instead of 1000,
would be great. Please note, at least with the same quality as a "old school" pressed record,
I repeat: AT LEAST WITH THE SAME QUALITY The devil is in the detail.
Give us here a insight, in which state are you? just thinking, or up to 99% of a production line finished,
just a few final tests needed?
