Corrugated plants generate a great vast amounts of wastewater every day. Not only can the wastewater be expensive to treat and dispose of, it is also wasteful of a resource that is in short supply during ever increasing periods of drought. At RapidBond, we challenged ourselves to engineer a high quality, environmentally sustainable, starch mixing system for use in corrugated plants. This commitment to creating an economical, and effective solution resulted in the FlexaMix starch mixing system. The FlexaMix starch mixing system is able to not only create Stein-Hall starch adhesive, but in addition Hybrid Mix starch adhesive that is able to re-use the untreated wastewater created in the wash down of the corrugator and flexo machinery

Reducing Starch Additives
The corrugated industry has tried for many years to reduce the dependence on expensive starch additives, often with little success. With existing starch kitchen technology being stagnant in its development, it took the development of the FlexaMix starch mixing system , utilizing the Hybrid Mix starch formula method, to change the paradigm. Corrugated plants are now finally able to eliminate the reliance of starch additives, reduce starch consumption and utilize untreated wastewater in the production process.

Automated System
In redesigning the mixing tank, and using our exclusive viscometer system, the FlexaMix starch mixing system is able to control the swelling of all unmodified pearl starch. This innovative system practices full automation, which eliminates human or labor errors in its installations.

Conscientiously respecting its commitment to safer practices, this system eliminates starch additive usage while achieving high pin numbers. This mixing system formulates the perfect adhesive for any paper and uses the untreated wash water in the starch adhesive production.

At RapidBond, we are dedicated to providing solutions for anything required to produce and distribute starch adhesive in a corrugated plant. We are the exclusive distributor of the FlexaMix starch mixing system in the Western Hemisphere. After years of successful global growth in implementing FlexaMix starch kitchens, we are now revolutionizing the starch kitchen market in the United States.
