Brawn.
Dallas Press Feeding Equipment lasts and lasts for many years because we design and build everything to handle more than the specified material. In simple words, when you buy a Dallas line you buy it fully equipped with heavy gauge materials and without the need to add a lot of options. And, because Dallas machines are built to last, we can easily upgrade them with the latest control packages, upgrading the Brains... without a lot of work on the Brawn.
