Can anyone provide any information on the pros and cons of the types of vulcanizing presses available on the market?
We are currently using an electrical Pro Solo Almex conveyor belt vulcanizer.
We are considering changing to a fixed, jaw type, superheated steam belt joint press.
Our major concerns are the cycle times and ease of loading/unloading the belts as we deal with large quantities.
