"Over the last 35 years I have been heavily involved with most aspects of our manufacturing and I can honestly say the AutoBox is probably, for what it does, the best machine I have ever worked with"

DW Cases install another Energy Efficient Autobox machine at their Musselburgh plant

Since establishing DW Cases in 1981 the company has been supplying corrugated boxes to customers in a wide range of industries including: engineering, food, retail, medical, textile, printing, and removals. For around half of that time they have been using Autobox machines to make corrugated protective packaging products for their customers. It was not surprising that when they wanted to increase their box making capacity they looked to the Autobox range to add to their box making capacity.

The new machine would need to produce short to medium run corrugated boxes in a wide range of styles using all types of corrugated board. Run lengths meant that changeover times would be critical and the ability to add different modules to increase versatility, when required, would future-proof the investment. The Autobox AB300 box making machine was the product of choice.

The Autobox AB300 is capable of producing around 50 box styles including 0411, partitions, trays, 0201, pallet boxes and more. Set-up is fully automatic via an interactive touchscreen and average run speeds are up to 1,000 boxes per hour, making this the most productive boxmaker on the market.  The AB300 can convert blank sizes from 100mm (Deckle) x 300mm (Chop) to 2600mm x unlimited length. It will run all types of corrugated board from single through to heavy duty double wall, with the option to upgrade to run tri-wall board.
 

The AB300’s energy efficiency an important consideration for DW Cases


With energy costs rocketing for all companies an increasingly important aspect of all Autobox machines in the AB range is their low running cost. Utilising the machine’s kinetic energy the AB300, for example, only uses 0.4 to 0.66 kWh - less than most household appliances! 

The new Autobox AB300 was ordered for delivery to the DW Cases plant, Musselburgh, in January.  To minimise disruption and workflow at the plant careful pre-planning took place, Kolbus UK engineers liaised with DW Cases operatives resulting in the AB300 being up and running on day one.  

Company owners of DW Cases, Barclay and Craig Dunkinson,  said: “Autobox’s lead time was exactly what they said it would be. Kolbus UK’s engineering manager sent us a pre-installation guide and was available for technical assistance throughout the process. This gave us peace of mind as we don’t install machinery every day. They were very supportive and we had the machine making customer jobs on day two We were impressed with the set-up times and the quality of box the new machine makes."

Arran Sethi, director of sales, Kolbus UK, said: “DW Cases are yet another customer coming back to add another  Autobox machine to their plant line up. They know that they get a machine that will do what it says, and more.  

What they also find reassuring is  that Kolbus-Autobox make most of the parts that go into  these machines in-house, using their components manufacturing division. We have a huge spare parts stock, as well as a team of time-served managers and engineers, reducing any potential downtime. UK customers have the best of all worlds when investing in our UK manufactured Autobox machines.”
