It is usually starch additives that give adhesives greater bonding power. For corrugated plants that rely on starch additives adhesive process, utilizing an advanced starch-mixing system, such as the FlexaMix, provides numerous advantages, such as:

• Eliminating complete reliance on starch additives
• Lessening the rate of starch consumption
• Lowering energy costs
• Utilizing untreated corrugator and flexo wastewater

It is also beneficial to use a mixing system that is made out of premium components and hardware that can stand up to continual tough operating conditions. The innovative FlexaMix viscometer, measures the viscosity in real time. The viscometer is so accurate that it allows for the operator to enter the final viscosity value desired into the formula which is then achieved consistently batch-to-batch. In addition, the accuracy of the viscometer allows for the elimination of starch additives, providing significant savings.
