Aron,
Grease in any machine last for years. Why do you have to grease the rollers
so often. My happy has a plastic wheel at the back of each drive shaft that
is designed to break if you hit a hoop. It has not been greased for 10
years. The grease that they put in the factory is still in there.

Anand,
If you do some simple math it works out better in the long run in my
opinion. For example, I just ran 600+ polos for a prison. The design took
25 min on my EMT machine at 650 SPM. Same design took 18 min on my AMAYA at
1000 SPM. I saved 7 min per shirt on the AMAYA. Multiply that times 600
and by sewing them on my AMAYA I saved 4200 min or 70 hours in production on
AMAYA vs EMT. After running the 600 shirts on 2 AMAYA's then I had to
grease the rolers and do some Maintenance on both AMAYA's to the tune of say
2 or 3 hours. So I still saved over 65 hours in production. So, comparing
apples to apples which do you prefer?
I am seriously considering trading in my 4 head EMT for 3 AMAYAs and I
beleive if I traded it in for 2 AMAYA's I would be ahead in production and
with 3 I will be able to out sew the 4 head easily plus have the versitility
to run 3 different designs if I need to although those 3 would probably
mostly run the same design.
Just my opinion.
