It sounds like Patel has hit the "easy" button with the installation of this machine. Nolan Johnson: You recently installed the Indu- Bond X-Press 360 lamination press. ere's a lot of hype and promise around this particular technology regarding energy savings and ver- satility. What are your impressions in using this press? Sunny Patel: Well, the hype is real. It's such a great machine. Because of its simplicity and the flexibility of use, I find it a lot easier to work with than our previous press. e energy savings speak for them- selves; the capabilities of going up to 375°C and 65 kg/cm 2 pressure allows us to do pretty much any kind of press- ing. e name of the game right now is to try to increase your avail- able capabilities; the press does that without many difficulties. You don't need a PhD on the machine and it's very easy to use. We're very happy with it. Johnson: at's great to hear. Capabilities and energy use are two of the things that are sig- nificantly better. Is there a positive impact on throughput? Candor Nails the ROI With InduBond Sunny Patel
