If you’re in the market for a collator, these tips should help you find the most appropriate device for your in-plant and get the best results from it.

Ask the salesperson to perform three to five different size changes and take note on how quickly and easily he can do it. If he initially told you that the equipment is user-friendly but he has difficulty operating it, most likely it is not user-friendly and your people will have a hard time running it. If the demo takes place at his client’s facility make sure to have the salesperson run the machine and not the operator who has been running it for years.
