What is a duplicator or duplication tower?

By definition if your desktop computer equipped with a CD or DVD writer is a 1-to-1 duplicator already. But when we say duplicator we usually mean the stacking of CD or DVD writers in one unit. When they are stacked vertically the unit looks like a tower hence the name duplication tower is sometimes used. The main difference between a duplication tower and a PC equipped with a writer is that a duplication tower is usually a standalone unit that does not require any software to make it work. On a PC you would probably have to install CD or DVD burning software such as Roxio Easy CD & DVD Creator, Nero, Discjuggler, or other software. With a duplicator or tower you would not have such requirement because the software is embedded into the chip that drives the duplicator.

Should I buy an Automated or manual Tower Duplicator?

The answer depends on a couple of factors pertaining to time and/or money. For small to medium quantities and if time and manual labor is not a factor the manual tower would be a better solution. For larger quantities or time and manpower is limited the autoloader would be a wiser investment.

Manual Duplicators

Manual duplicators offer the user a cost effective option for the duplication of CDs or DVDs. Users insert original data and blank media into the standalone machine for easy duplication. If cost is a prohibitive factor then a manual tower is a better solution.

Automated Duplicators

Automated or autoloading duplicators have a built-in robotic arm which loads the CD trays with blank media meaning less user intervention than Manual Duplicators. Once a system is loaded (with up to 1000 discs) the machine can be left alone to duplicate while you are busy doing other tasks or left to run overnight requiring far less human interaction than a manual tower. Automated equipment can cost more initially, but since the autoloader can run continuously day and night without any dedicated manpower, you can increase production and lower expenses. The bottom-line is that, for larger quantities, autoloaders costs are often lower in the long run.
