Need to be able to do approx 500 mugs per week...
Currently, we use 4 x Freesub ST-210's, so can do 8 mugs in one hit. These presses have done suprisingly well for cheap presses but we are starting to hit limitations with blues not pressing correctly unless we increase the temperature, etc. So, we are looking at upgrading the presses to something better quality and wondered what you guys would suggest.
I really liked the look of the Freesub Pneumatic Mug Presses but with the elements being the same as the ST-210's we'll hit the same limitations, so have been thinking about buying 4 of the Galaxy Mug Press Pro's and running these alongside 2 of our current Freesub's until we can afford another 4, but these are the options we've come up with.
1. Galaxy Mug Press Pro's (with the aim of buying 8 in total over the next 2 months)
2. Genie III Mug Press from Listawood (again with the aim of buying 8)
3. 3D Vacuum Press like this
4. Convection oven (either a catering grade oven or a decent domestic 'fan oven').
I could really use some advice/recommendations and would love to hear from people that use any of these options.
