Prove it on your product, then decide.
A capital purchase for a live line is a real risk. The demo is designed to take that risk off the table before you sign anything.
Four steps from question to decision.
Tell us about your line
Your current process, monthly volume, the material you run, and where the bottleneck is today.
See it run online
A live online session on your own numbers, walking through how AuraX handles material like yours, infused or sticky included.
Where it's possible, see your own material run
If it fits, we arrange a hands-on session so you watch your own product run at production rate, not a sample.
Decide with real numbers
You leave with output data and a configuration and quote for your floor, with financing options on the table.
Your material, not a sample
Sticky and infused product behaves differently. Where we can run your own material, you see how the machine handles what you run every day.
Production rate, not a highlight reel
You see sustained throughput and reject rate, the numbers that decide whether the line pays for itself.
Data you can take to the CFO
Output figures and a real quote, so the capital case is built on evidence rather than a promise.
Hear it from producers running Hefestus equipment today.
▶Seed & Smith, Denver, Colorado
Scaled daily preroll output from 1,200 to well past 10,000 with two operators running AuraX.
▶Jacked, Huntington, New York
Cut labor costs and now runs a consistent, single-operator AuraX line at high volume.
▶Seed of Life, Billings, Montana
"We've cut costs in half" on material prep after switching to the TerpPreserve Grinder.
▶Pioneer Interests, Denver, Colorado
Another Denver producer running Hefestus equipment on their line.

Site requirements
What your floor needs before install day.
Straight from the Hefestus pre-installation checklist. Have these in place and the technician installs on the first visit.
| Requirement | What your building provides | Applies to |
|---|---|---|
| Electrical, Aura line | One 115V, 60 Hz, single phase circuit on its own 20A breaker, per machine. We supply the converter that steps it up to the machine's own 220V input, so you do not need a 220V drop. Twist lock plugs recommended. | AuraX, LumineX, AutoTube, Weight Checker, Tube Labeler |
| A second power point | The AutoTube robot needs its own 115V 20A point and its own converter. It draws no extra air. | AutoTube with robot |
| Electrical, grinder | 208V three phase: 20A for the PSC-8, 30A for the PSC-10. The PSC-8 can also run on a single phase 115V 20A circuit with a supplied step up transformer. | TerpPreserve Grinder |
| Compressed air | 6 bar (85 psi) at the machine, 14 to 20 CFM, and a tank of at least 80 gallons. A refrigeration style dryer is required. The air has to arrive completely dry. | Whole line |
| Floor space and weight | AuraX occupies 118 x 125 cm (46.5 x 49 in), stands 172 cm (68 in) tall and weighs 280 kg (617 lbs). LumineX fits a four by four foot footprint. Indoor, on concrete. | AuraX, LumineX |
| Room conditions | 50 to 85 F, with relative humidity between 20 and 55%. | Whole line |
| Network | Ethernet and WiFi both configured, so the wireless backs up the wire, and the machine stays online. | Whole line |
