Corrugator machines are the foundation of the corrugated cardboard packaging industry. Their function is to produce and distribute starch adhesive in busy corrugated packaging plants. This requires dedicated machinery, including:
* Adhesive storage vessels
* Caustic storage vessels
* Resin dosers
* Starch silos
* Supersacks
Fully integrated starch kitchen units are now available. The beauty of these is that they minimize the need for starch by reducing starch consumption, making them environmentally friendly.
The worldwide need for corrugated products
Corrugated packaging is used all over the world, and as demand increases, naturally, the requirement for corrugator machines increases too.
People tend to dismiss corrugated, thinking that it is no more than a cardboard box. The truth of the matter is that it is so much more. Corrugated is:
* A durable product
* A product that offers wide versatility
* Surprising strong because of its high strength to weight characteristics
* A sustainable product
* Environmentally friendly
* Sourced from renewable raw materials
* Easily customized for individual requirements
* A cost effective packaging solution
What most people fail to understand is that corrugated is actually a highly technical product.
Moral environmental responsibilities
corrugated machines can generate huge amounts of waste water. Bearing in mind that corrugated is manufactured all over the world it is therefore morally responsible to ensure that as much waste water is recycled as possible. This is where using the latest state-of–the–art plant that is available comes into play.
The growing global need for Hi-tech corrugator machinery
It is corrugated packaging’s amazing potential that guarantees the products global demand; especially in a world where the environment and sustainability are such key issues. The manufacturers of corrugator machines and corrugated itself are constantly carrying out research and development programs looking to improve elements such as:
* Weight to strength potential
* Moisture resistance
* Improving recyclability potential
Most corrugated products are designed and developed with the aid of cutting-edge computer-aided programming. Corrugator machines are becoming increasingly sophisticated in order to cope with the growing demands and facilitate new possibilities.
