First post on here so go easy...
![Shocked :shock:](./images/smilies/icon_eek.gif)
Anyway I am making a table of vinyl record press manufacturers (new and old).
I need info on what type of pressers each company made i.e manual, semi automatic and automatic.
The definition I am using for manual is: operative has to load 1st label, then PVC biscuit from extruder, then 2nd label, then press, then remove record and place on trimmer.
Semi Automatic: Extruder places PVC biscuit into press and labels inserted automatically, finished vinyl record removed by operative and placed on trimmer, record placed in dosco sleeve by operative.
N.B: I need clarity about this as I am unsure if this is the correct definition, bit of guesswork here on my part. Apologies in advance
Automatic: Extruder places PVC biscuit into press, labels inserted automatically, pressed record removed and placed on trimmer automatically, finished record placed in disco sleeve/ in basket automatically.
List is attached (New and Old)
Please let me know of any companies I have missed, mistakes I have made with definitions or in the list and anything else you think I should include
I'd also like to find out rough estimates of prices of second hand equipment and refurbishment costs.
Anyway thank you in advance for any help
