Owner of Torbay Packaging, Mike Green, said: “We have had tremendous success with the Autobox 2675. It’s a machine that rarely caused us any problems and even when we did need Autobox, they were always well geared up with engineers and spare parts to reduce any downtime.”
Torbay Packaging will make a wide range of boxes on their Autobox machine; from 400mm x 300mm 0203 slotted boxes, to dividers, creased pads and three-part boxes consisting of huge trays, lids, and sleeves. Although they guarantee “no minimum order quantities” with the Autobox AB300 they can now produce up to 1,000 box runs, quickly and economically. The Autobox AB300 needs no tooling or stereos so customers also benefit from zero origination costs.
The Autobox AB300 achieves an average run speed of 500 boxes per hour and set up time is less than a minute. Typically, it needs just one operator who has the benefit of close to 30 pre-programmed job styles plus a self-design facility for bespoke or non Fefco designs. The centre set design of the machine creates excellent hold-down of the product for a higher quality finished box.
Torbay’s Mike Green said: “The new machine is a lot slicker and has a range of developed, well thought about, features that have made the set-up and running plus ancillary operations around the machine so much easier. For example, we have an offline desktop application showing the exact software on the machine. We can calculate board sizes instantly and even prepare a daily job plan on a USB, to upload to the task list on the machine. We can run most jobs at a higher speed and bring in-house work that would previously have been difficult to produce.”
