"For us the VISTAFLEX II is a no brainer"
Ray Graham, Vice President Operations at AP
THE ONE FOR ALL
"We use nine VISTAFLEX presses at APC, our first two were installed in 2011/12. After we figured out how to “feed the beast” fast enough, we had great success by running high-quality jobs faster than ever. It’s the most automated press on the market. While the press is running, four subsequent jobs can be prepared and stored in the VISTA-PORT. This makes it easy to handle long and short runs. With the multiple machines at APC, roughly thirty jobs can be prepped. This makes life easy! Job changeovers are fully-automated with the simple push of a button. So for us the VISTAFLEX II is a no brainer. It has everything the VISTAFLEX has and more … such as VISION, RUBY Check and RUBY Connect 4 Flow integrated.”
