Flood Survivor
« on: June 09, 2016, 10:38:41 AM »
A few years back we had a little water in our shop. Well, between eight and 12 feet of it. Everything was under river water for days. Our presses went back to M&R to make them functional again. I don't know exactly what was done to them, but I believe mostly airlines were replaced. I don't think much, if any wiring was done. We still run two of the presses every day and the third is running in another shop up the road. Our Gauntlett II is one that we still run, and I just noticed it just turned over one million impressions. These are post flood numbers as the counters were zeroed out after the flood. I just thought I'd share this as a testament to the quality of M&R equipment. (not saying every other brand can't do this, but I KNOW M&R can and does)

Love our 2001 Gauntlet II, she's right at 1,195,000 impressions.

"Your free press and dryer is on its way ;)"

Can you make that dryer a split belt?
