🎓 Educational & Research Institution Review

⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ Professor Anita Patel - Materials Engineering Lab
"We use the Pro Model in our polymer recycling research lab. The AI-enabled monitoring is fantastic for tracking melt consistency with contaminated input streams. Students can adjust screw speed and temperature zones in real time, which is great for hands-on learning. Only downside: initial setup took longer than expected due to calibration, but the on-site training helped. Now it’s running smoothly."

🏭 Industrial Manufacturer Review

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Marcus Wong - Production Manager, Plastic Re-Processor
"We upgraded to the Pro Model for its 25 HP motor and 30% better energy efficiency. We’re processing high-melt PA and PC blends, which are tough on equipment, but the heavy-duty screw and stainless steel components are holding up. The remote technical support is responsive—we had a temperature zone issue resolved in under an hour via video call. After 4 months of 24/7 operation, no major maintenance needed. Worth every penny."
