Ondulati ed Imballaggi del Friuli S.P.A (ODF) Venzone plant is mainly dedicated to the production of small to medium run, non-standard, high, value boxes. In particular RSC “American boxes” (0201), folding wraps (0409/0411), Maltese cross (0401) plus a wide variation of slotted styles. Much of ODFs production is printed and personalised boxes so when it came to choosing a new boxmaker, they turned to
Kolbus Autobox.
ODF installed a
Kolbus AUTOBOX AB300 Boxmaker equipped with the innovative
DIGITAL-PRINTER DP300 unit. To increase range and efficiency they also specified a
TABLE-FEEDER TF300 and
MULTI-CUT MC300.
It was the
DIGITAL-PRINTER DP300 unit however which convinced
ODF that the Kolbus Autobox was their preferred machine.
Mr Stefano Gollino, owner of
Ondulati ed Imballaggi del Friuli S.P.A said:
“In-line digital printing is ideal because there is no need for any tooling or stereos enabling us to make and print boxes up to 6,000mm long by 2,600mm wide in a single pass, down to mini boxes. Print quality is excellent, at 360dpi the four self-positioning and self-cleaning digital print heads can print in several positions along the length of the box. The system is controlled from the operator interface. Opting for this in-line system allows us to produce a near infinite number of box sizes in a huge number of styles, many without tooling, with added print personalisation in whatever quantity we need”
The fully automatic set
AUTOBOX AB300 is quite simply the best boxmaking machine on the market. Equipped with servo assistance and with all operations controlled from one fully integrated touch-screen panel it is superbly operator friendly. Capable of producing
over100 different box styles, typically
set up in around a minute, with average run
speeds of around 500 boxes per hour the
AUTOBOX AB300 is ideal for high quality short and medium run boxmaking.
The addition of the
MULTI-CUT MC300 improves flexibility and boosts profitability by virtually doubling the number of box styles to
around 100 Fefco styles. Boxes can be produced from stock board, glue tabs removed, with extra creases, hand holes, and drop-down windows created. The installation of a high grip friction feeder, the
TABLE-FEEDER TF300, further speeds up production and reduces labour.
