Wasatch Container (CONT’D FROM PAGE 28)
“The RD 115S is a ‘game changer’ for Wasatch Container and its customers. The advanced technology and automa- tion on our RD allows for quick setups, increased through- put in our plant and shorter lead times for our customers.” Lauren adds that the Kolbus RD 115S can print on both sides of the box in a single pass — with three colors on the outside and two on the inside — which is a huge pro- ductivity gain. “That’s really our focus, to be more of a val- ue-add for e-commerce, multi-level marketing companies — just making the box exciting when you open it up on your doorstep,” she says. “We like that Kolbus is kind of newer to the market, so we didn’t feel like just another number. They really care about us and they care about this machine because it’s one of the first ones in America. We feel like the service and communication with them has been top notch.” With the Kolbus, Chris Heusch says that Wasatch Con- tainer will be able to leverage the graphics print capabili- ties of tight registration and refined ink metering, as well as productivity of a feature-rich die cutter. He is also con- fident in the service and support Kolbus gives to its US customers after the purchase. The features on the RD 115S include a camera register control system, pneumatic print plate locking, motorized print plate skewing, variable print plate thickness capabili- ty, print and die-cut image shrink and stretching capability, and the latest IR drying system from JB Machinery.
To make way for progress, Wasatch Container scraped the adjacent building and attached the two buildings to- gether to create a new and much larger manufacturing space. There is now room for warehousing, which will
eliminate transit costs since they were using a building two blocks down the road. “Everything about the new RD 115S is top notch and high quality, but what really attracted us to this machine was the top and bottom print capabilities and the automa- tion,” says Jerry, who purchased the machine in late 2021. The advanced technology and automation on the Kolbus al- lows for fast set ups, better throughput, and shorter lead times.
