Is it the horizontal decoiler, or is it the roll forming cassettes? Is it the guide plates? Is it the clinch pressure? What is it? And I thought, you know, it's the people. It's the people behind the machine that makes the machine what it is, meaning the service. I NOTICED AND IDENTIFIED RIGHT AWAY THAT THE FOLKS AT MESTEK MACHINERY WERE BEHIND US FROM A SERVICE ASPECT."

I looked at Z-lines. I looked at, wraparound lines. And I just could''t understand why I'd want to take up that much floor space in my shop. And then Mestek Machinery showed me the straight line Engel Coil Line and I'll tell you, it's a no brainer. We have a 25,000 SF shop — even if you have an 80,000 SF shop, you tuck this thing against the sidewall, and you leave up all that free space in your shop. WE COULDN'T BE ANY MORE HAPPY!"

We successfully performed 761 critical duct tests on over 950,000 square feet of duct on a critical clean room project. All tests passed and I am confident THE NEW MESTEK MACHINERY FULL SEAM DESIGN ON THE IOWA PRECISION PRO-FABRIDUCT COIL LINE WAS A MAJOR CONTRIBUTOR TO THIS SUCCESS.

I purchased two of the 20’ Coil-Fed Lockformer® Vulcan® Fiber Laser Cutting Systems for many reasons. The safety aspect — having a Class 1 rating along with the FDA accession number — was critical for Superior Duct. No other manufacturer has this for an open architecture fiber laser cutting system. And then the speed, the accuracy, the cut quality, and the elimination of plasma exhaust in the shop environment. THE LOCKFORMER FIBER LASER HAS TAKEN THE PLACE OF THREE CONVENTIONAL PLASMA CUTTERS IN OUR OPERATIONS.
