Yeah, the compressor is a PITA, but luckily it doesn't cut on very often.  Couple times an hour when we are running, if we are running 1000/hr it will come on about 6 times.

I'm thinking the RPM is set lower than cause I'm 5-11 and still it seems high on the javelin

that`s not too bad
i used to have the compressor inside my previous job
running an old ten color all pneumatic press
when using all head the noise was full time
that`ll did it for me LOL

How high are the pallets? Mine are at 37 inches from floor to top of the pallet. I can raise it but i have it almost bottomed out. I also have a half inch matt I stand on. If I remember the Jav is high. You could be able to lover it at the feet to make it not so high, Just keep it level.

With the table down its at 39.5 so yeah it is high. It looks I have soom room to adjust it.

2.5 inches is a big deal. You will save alot of wear and tear on your shoulders to bring it down as much as you can. You should also increase speed.

I have told people this for years.

A press is made on an average person.

If you are the one running it most of the time...be it manual or auto...customize it and raise or lower the tables...to your hip bone.

Work tables too. Many have said that it helped bunches...but I already knew that.

Here's a vid of my guy breaking 900 no sweat 3,000 pieces after work under 4 hours packed

I just tried a little dry run using the flip technique and I have to say I'm digging it. Much easier but I have to practice more, I also dropped the press about an inch and a half which feels alot better.

Take your hand and sort of mess up/ruffle the bottom of the shirts. This should loosen them up so they don't stick together. Get yourself into a smooth rhythm and don't rush to keep up with the press. I usually throw the shirt on then pull back with the shoulder seams and then check the armpits. It works for me.

And once again I will say that stacking upside down and flipping increases the chances to catch defects on both sides (for those who care)
