Industrial Starch Kitchen - Glue Preparation for Corrugated Board

Starch Kitchen - Glue Preparation for Corrugated Converters
Integrated system for starch-based adhesive preparation for corrugated board.

Native support for: Stain-Hall, Minocar-Glue Wave, and OBM (One Bag Mix) processes.

Advanced Technology for Corrugated Board Adhesion

Our Industrial Starch Kitchen is engineered to meet the critical demands of modern corrugated plants: high production speed, consistent viscosity, and waste reduction. Thanks to full automation, the system precisely prepares high-performance adhesives optimized for every flute type.

Flexibility in Production Processes

Whether your production line utilizes the traditional Stain-Hall method or the more advanced Minocar and Glue Wave technologies, our systems guarantee millimeter-perfect control of the gel point and Stein-Hall viscosity.

  • Stain-Hall Process: Reliable preparation of both carrier and raw starch components.
  • Minocar & Glue Wave: Maximum precision in solids dosing for reduced yet effective glue application.
  • OBM (One Bag Mix): Simplified management for pre-mixed starch formulations.

Technical Features and Automation

The efficiency of a Starch Kitchen is measured by the stability of the adhesive produced. Our systems include:

  1. Automatic Dosing: Precise management of starch, water, caustic soda, and borax (or alternative additives).
  2. In-Line Viscosity Control: Constant monitoring to prevent delamination issues on the corrugated board.
  3. Filtration Systems: To ensure no impurities reach the gluing heads of the corrugator.
  4. Industry 4.0 Interface: Touch-screen panels with storable recipes and consumption reporting.

Benefits for Corrugated Box Plants

Installing a Starch Engineering starch kitchen allows for increased corrugator machine speed due to a higher-performing adhesive with optimized drying times, while simultaneously reducing specific starch consumption per square meter of corrugated board produced.
