Couple of things to consider:
Many of the processes might require the product is pushed and/or pulled through the machinery. If there is no material behind to push it could cause problems within the machines.
Once the continuous process is broken it needs to be restarted somehow. Depending on the type of production this could be days or weeks of work just to rethread all the material through the machines and getting it going.
- Dylan16807 5y agoI'd certainly rather rethread than rebuild.
- depaya 5y agoMight not be an option. If the material hardens in the machine it might need to be completely disassembled and rebuilt with many of the parts requiring replacement (since it wouldn't have been designed with disassembly in mind).
- Dylan16807 5y ago> If the material hardens in the machine Now you've gone in a circle. That's what the original comment was talking about. This subthread is hinged on the idea of that specific problem not happening.
