This week we begin moving the production equipment for 20×24 instant film out of storage and into a new production facility at Belding Mill in Putnam, CT. We occupy a first floor space in the former thread factory. The two critical machines we moved are the 20×24 film spooler, a machine converted from an old cast iron printing press. This machine will re-spool the very large rolls of positive and negative material down to rolls that can fit into a 20×24 camera. The other machine is the pod machine. The purpose of this machine is to take the chemical reagent stored in 40 liter tanks and pump it into 22 inch foil pods. To see a slide show of the move click on this link.
