Having studied the Flat Bed market for the last couple of years, Including visits to Barcelona and Belgium evaluating both HP/Scitex and Vutek machines. Our trip to the Durst factory in Austria witnessing the build quality and attention to detail first hand, quickly established this was the best built machine on the market today.
The factory reminded us of a Formula one racing car factory, absolutely immaculate everywhere we looked.
Much of the high tech engineering is produced on site. Each head plate taking one hour to produce, the 800 has 32 of these!
Another Durst 800 under construction. You can see how sturdy the build is. It's as if some other manufacturers use KitKat wrappers and string by comparison.
The following is a short photographic journey showing the installation.
 The machine wrapped up and ready for despatch to England.
The machine arrives overland from Austria.
At nearly 6m long and 5.5 Tons the machine proves a logistical challenge for the installation team.
The fork lift driver has nerves of steel, as 1/2 million pounds of machine swings precariously 15 feet above the ground !
Nearly there
The scaffold seems to be holding!
Now we see if the strengthened floor is strong enough.
So far so good. X marks the spot!
Nicely positioned on our new Digital Floor
Within 3 days of arriving the first job rolls off the press
