Improving Safety and Increasing Efficiency in Starch Operations
Corrugated boxes are the most popular method of delivering consumer goods. What goes into the creation of these versatile containers requires corrugated manufacturers to select raw materials which produce boxes that resist tearing, crushing and bursting. The addition of additives to the starch formula increases viscosity and improves tack to maintain the high operating speeds of corrugated box operations.
The challenge: the use of powdered borax is not only labor intensive, but also an operator safety concern and has some inherent dispensing inaccuracies. Henkel’s HALO product line provides a solution to eliminate these challenges:
Operator safety:
No lifting, cutting, climbing, or inhalation
of borax dust.
Dosing accuracy:
Consistent viscosity and gel point assures
starch goes where it is supposed to go.
Clean machining:
Reduced slinging and clean up on corrugator.
Production efficiency:
No constant monitoring and less downtime
gives operators time to complete value-added
tasks.
AQUENCE® HALO® product line replaces standard powdered borax and some products include a rheology modifier to reduce starch consumption. In addition to its benefits as a borax alternative, AQUENCE® HALO® reduces starch sling – the starch goes where it is supposed to go – on the flute tip and not on the machine, floor, and everywhere else.
AQUENCE® HALO® product line provides solutions to fit every corrugator’s need. Whether you are looking for a direct powdered borax replacement or are looking for something to help enhance your operations, Henkel has a solution to fit your unique operation.
