Meet SBKJ · Box Hill North, Victoria

Meet SBKJ in Australia

Book a private engineering consultation with SBKJ’s Australian team — in person at our Box Hill North, Victoria office or by live video. We work through your project brief, match the right SBKJ machine, plan footprint and utilities, and build an indicative landed-cost worksheet you can take into a board meeting. To watch the machines running live, meet us at ARBS 2026 in Sydney. Free for qualified buyers.

Request a consultation   What it covers

Why a consultation before you buy

A six-figure HVAC duct machine purchase is a 10–15 year decision. An hour with the engineer who will actually run your project is the cheapest, fastest due diligence available — you leave with a machine recommendation matched to your coil and throughput, and an indicative landed-cost worksheet for your country. SBKJ has offered this to buyers for years, and most who take the consultation move to a decision within 90 days.

Three reasons buyers consistently ask for a consultation rather than relying on PDFs alone:

  1. Coil-specific advice. Brochure throughput is measured at ideal conditions. Your specific coil thickness, gauge and supplier may behave differently — we work it through against the machine you are considering, and you can see output samples at ARBS 2026 or by video.
  2. Real numbers. Machine price, freight from Port Melbourne, insurance, customs and rigging — the items on the 47-point buyer’s checklist — turned into one indicative landed-cost worksheet for your destination.
  3. Engineering relationship. The engineer who runs your consultation will likely also be your project engineer through FAT, shipping and commissioning. Building that relationship before signing accelerates every later decision.

What the engineering consultation covers

About 60 minutes with the SBKJ engineer who will manage your project. Structured agenda:

  1. Project brief (10 min) — coil specification, throughput target, standards (SMACNA / EN 1505 / AS-NZS 4254 / DW-144), project type, geographical destination.
  2. Machine model match (15 min) — specific SBKJ model recommendation, footprint planning with CAD layout, electrical and compressed-air requirements, utility specifications.
  3. Indicative landed cost (15 min) — machine price, ocean freight from Port Melbourne to your nominated port, marine insurance, customs entry estimate (with FTA preferential treatment where applicable: JAEPA, KAFTA, AI-ECTA, AUSFTA), inland trucking and rigging.
  4. FAT and commissioning planning (10 min) — FAT booking timeline, commissioning engineer travel and visa coordination, operator and maintenance training scope, spare-parts kit recommendation.
  5. Next steps (10 min) — quotation timeline, contract milestones, payment terms, deposit schedule.

See the machines running live — ARBS 2026, Sydney

The best place to see SBKJ machines in operation is in person at a trade show. SBKJ exhibits at ARBS 2026 (Sydney, 19–21 May 2026) — Australia’s largest HVAC&R exhibition — where you can watch the machine family you are evaluating run live, inspect output samples and meet the engineering team. Combine a Sydney show visit with a Melbourne consultation in a single business trip; pre-show consultation slots fill quickly in the 8 weeks before the show.

For buyers travelling to other regional shows (AHR Expo 2027, MCE 2028 Milan, Big 5 Construct Saudi 2026), SBKJ coordinates pre-show specification discussions. Email sales@sbkjduct.com to arrange a meeting.

Video consultations and demonstrations

For buyers who cannot travel to Australia — remote markets, time-constrained CFOs, procurement teams pre-screening — SBKJ runs live video consultations covering the same agenda, plus a live video demonstration of the machine family you are evaluating against your nominated coil specification. A recorded demonstration can also support your internal approval process. Use the contact form to request a session, scheduled with English, Mandarin, Spanish, French, Arabic, Portuguese, Hindi, Indonesian, German or Italian language support as needed.
