Just how good is the new Flexam City Finishing Machine?

We thought this might be an opportune moment to detail some of the incredible advantages this machine offers. Rather than tell you these benefits ourselves we thought we would leave it to a couple of our satisfied customers, award winning cobbler Brian Curry and his son Andrew of Curry's Service Centre in Bury St. Edmunds.

Brian believes that as an owner /operator he "should invest in the best available machine, with a view on long-term health and safety". He believes he has achieved with this his new Flexam City finisher.

The Flexam City gives an "ultra smooth operation" with off-board controls that aid the ease of use. The machine is set out in such a way that "it is easy for 2 person operation".

Other comments include: -

• The direct indexing multihead turret which "saves lots of time",
• He is also experiencing "longer band life".
• The work tray on the front of the machine has also proved to be "a great bonus".
• The cotton mops fitted as standard prove to be a great timesaver.
• The airline on the machine is also very handy keeping his work and his work area clean and tidy.
• The Flexam City is also, "incredibly well constructed using quality components."
• The higher setting of the machine greatly reduces back ache.

The revolutionary dust filtration system features automatic operation venting with light sensors which knows which parts of the machine are being used and only opens the necessary vent. This has also impressed Brian. He finds that he is emptying his easily accessed dust draw "more often because of the better extraction", coupled with the automatic electric bag shaker, which is electrically timed and set by the customer.

Overall his workshop is an appreciably cleaner environment due to the fact that the Flexam's dust filtration unit returns cleaned air back into the workplace free of impurities and dust.

Curry's Service Centre is also a quieter place. In fact both Brian and Andrew find they can work longer on this machine. Before installing the new Flexam City Finisher the noise and dust necessitated the need to take a break from working every couple of hours. Not any more. Both men are able to work longer and better - getting more work done quicker. In fact Brian feels as fresh when he finishes work as when he starts.

In conclusion Brian adds that, "If I had another shop I would not hesitate to put another Flexam City finisher into it." Furthermore Brian has declared the machine to be "twenty years ahead of its time". We won't disagree!

Servicing on the City finisher couldn't be easier. 90% of the machine can be accessed from the front, including the filter bags, and all electrical and pneumatic adjustments.

The back of the machine is fully enclosed giving the dual benefits of noise reduction and the ability to put flush back to a wall.
