[Athen] TIE machine repairs

[John Elmer]

We just made a purchase and the machine from American Thermoform was recommended to us by the ATPC, as well as their paper.

Have not used that one, but I love my PIAF machine.

Okay, I can’t seem to get much info on the ZyChem machine.  I’ve been around their site (at least what I can find) and there is no price listed.

Does anybody use the Swell Forms Graphics machine from American Thurmoform?

Both the PIAF machine and ZyChem machine work very well. I personally think they are both better than the TIE, so I think you have a great reason to get a new machine! <grin>

Also, just as an FYI, I recommend purchasing the capsule paper through American Thermoform. Human Ware's paper right now is flimsy and substandard.

Best wishes!

Hello all,

Our TIE machine seems to be fizzling out.  Repro-Tronics seems to be out of business.  Does anybody know of a company that repairs these machines?  Is it even worth repairing as old as it is?

The two options I’ve found are from HumanWare and American Thurmoform.  Does anybody have experience with the one from American Thurmoform?

Thanks.
