Automatics...

<< < (7/7)

Northland:
In most cases.... going auto means:
-- new screens (23 X 31)
-- new dryer (to keep up with 300-700 shirts/hr)
-- air compressor / air dryer
-- sometimes a larger screen cabinet, larger exposure unit, more storage space.

Then... is there enough power to run it all (100 amps, single phase... minimum for most shops)
It's a lot to bite off at one time... unless you have the coin to do it in one big shot.
Most shops keep a manual.... so now the footprint of the shop has doubled.

I'm sure you've thought about each of those items individually.... but it really helps to put it all on paper (lay-out).

GraphicDisorder:
No doubt, I would also suggest to any manual shop that is going to go to a auto at some point, to do the larger screens before the auto, get yourself upgraded in small steps if you are tight on cash.
