So we can start injecting the plastic against my negatives. and every 20 seconds theres a record coming out of this press. this is so cool. after the record is moulded, this robot takes over the rest, removing it from the machine, cooling the record, printing the label, and pressing it for packing. it uses less energy than typical vinyl production and avoids using pvc, instead substituting it with a safer form of plastic, pet, which can be recycled. one of the main things they have been trying t...

And patenting a new robotic pressing machine. we have already succeeded in making environmentally friendly vinyl records. we use no pvc, were using 90% less energy, we dont have the label with the paper — its a printed label. so here, whats happening now? i am moving the whole injection unit forward into position so we can start injecting the plastic against my negatives. and every 20 seconds theres a record coming out of this press. this is so cool. after the record is moulded, this robot tak...
