Leicester specialist trade finisher Clinical Print Finishers has invested in a B2 Horizon AFC 566FG folder from Intelligent Finishing Systems.

“We have seen a huge increase in our Z Fold Card production and needed a system that could cope with the quicker setups required,” explains Operations Director Alan Pickles. “We needed a folder that was compatible with our other machines and proven in the required area.

“We chose the Horizon AFC 566FG as we already have two Horizon folders and they are very reliable for our needs. We particularly liked its simplicity, build quality and aftersales support. IFS also keeps us up to date with what is in the marketplace so were aware of new developments.”

He continues: “It has enabled us to take on more work in the Z Fold Card markets and as such we expect return on investment in 12 to 24 months.”

As for working with IFS he states: “We have been dealing with IFS now for a few years and have always found them very helpful and willing to discuss our needs. They are very good at keeping us informed on what new ranges of equipment they are bringing to market.”

He adds: “They have a very ‘can do’ attitude and are considered one of our trusted supply partners.”

The Horizon AFC-566FG with delivery conveyor can perform a wide range of simple to very complex folding patterns. The added Horizon ED-40 Vertical stacker delivery enables it to produce and batch deliver small format folding.
