and perform separate from each other fusing processes. They are less productive and
are suitable for small and medium production units. Continuous work process fusing
presses enable an ongoing process by moving the components on a conveyor belt.
They offer a higher level of productivity, are more energy-efficient, and can ensure
fusing without material shrinkage and fading (see Section 12.4.4.1). Because of these
advantages, continuous work process presses are designed for a variety of production
units. Another type is the rotary fusing presses, but they are not widely used.
