“The Kolbus Autobox AB300 hasn’t stopped working for us since day one. We can’t fault it. It is producing the biggest boxes in the heaviest board grades possible, as well as volumes that we never thought would go through an Autobox. The ability to produce standard FEFCO styles but also bespoke configurations is extremely useful,” says Ivan Eldred, Kilby Packaging Site Manager at Kettering
“Autobox is the leading name when it comes to short-medium run production machinery,” says Arran Sethi, Kolbus UK director of sales. “Customers in the UK benefit significantly from a strong, local infrastructure of experienced sales and support staff.
“We worked closely with Kilby Packaging throughout this process to make sure they knew exactly what to expect. What I love most about my job is visiting a recent installation, and the only negative comment I hear is that they wished they bought more. We have a saying at Kolbus-Autobox which is: sales sells the first machine, service and support will secure the additions. We pride ourselves on doing exactly that.”
Kilby Packaging Managing Director James Kilby once had experience of a twenty plus years old Autobox machine with limited capabilities, so needed convincing. He and Ivan Eldred agreed to go to a demonstration at the Kolbus Autobox manufacturing facility in Houghton Regis. The men were quite impressed with what they saw. The sides agreed to provide installation and training requirements in advance so that delivery worked seamlessly. In less than a week, operators were fully trained and running live jobs.
Kilby and Eldred were quick to appreciate the considerable improvements made to this new generation Kolbus Autobox machine: the larger format, up to 2,600mm width and unlimited length; the interchangeable slotting knives which were previously fixed; no minimum first panel size, previously 80 mm; centre set and much greater hold down across the full width of the machine. All this and the machine could run at over 700 boxes per hour on a four-slot box.
