In the past, the process of improving bonding performance and board quality, while reducing starch consumption, centered around the addition of costly chemicals to starch adhesives.
Through a redesign of the mixing tank, together with an exclusive sealed Viscosity Detection System, The FlexaMix™ is able to precisely control the swelling of unmodified pearl starch. The FlexaMix™ Starch Mixer liberates corrugator plants from the starch additive paradigm.
This ability to precisely control starch swelling achieves the following:
– Elimination of the use of starch additives
– Reduction in starch consumption
– Pre-set and consistent batch-to-batch viscosity
– Use of untreated wash water in starch adhesive production
– Formulation of perfect adhesive for any type of paper
– Lower cook, storage and gel temperatures
