Improved production speed with Heat Transfer Additive
Real factory case studies for improved production speed with Heat Transfer Additive
What follows is an indicative case study based upon real client feedback and data provided from a specific plant. Each plant has its own individual characteristics and running capacities and so we would encourage Plant Managers and Heads to get in touch to arrange trials to see how we can help improve the production process in their plant: sales@kivoro.com.
KIVORO’s Heat Transfer Additive (HTA) enables the speed of production of corrugated cardboard to be increased, offering financial and energy savings to production plants. KIVORO works with individual customers to address their particular requirements with a custom solution.
In one case study with a customer, the challenge was to improve triple wall production speed in 55 and 82 lb. liners, and 36 lb. mediums AAC. The heavyweight production speed was limited due to double back (DB) bond failure. HTA was added to DB only, which enabled an increase in speed by 30% with the additive at its standard dose, which has a positive impact on savings in energy and productivity costs.
In another case, there was a double wall production issue for 350 BC, 23 and 33 lb. mediums. After adding HTA to DB only, the speed increase for the 23 medium was 30%, and up to 50% for the 33 medium.
In a third plant, the fibre reducing medium had high stiffness and high density, requiring higher conditioning and resisting flute formation. The bond on the edge of the sheet was disturbed by the blades at the slitter, with an immature DB bond. HTA was added only in DB, which improved machine speed on 44 ECT and 55 ECT, and reduced delamination.
Adding HTA was also shown to improve performance of single wall cardboard manufacturing. HTA was added to DB and single face (SF), with optimized dosage, which yielded a 30% improvement in speed of manufacturing, while increasing SF to run conditions.
To conclude, KIVORO’s Heat Transfer Additive (HTA) has been shown to increase the speed of production of corrugated cardboard for several cardboard types. Applying the additive rapidly improves the drying rate of the starch-based adhesive, which allows plants to increase production speed by up to 50%, particularly of double and triple wall corrugated board. Potential customers are encouraged to get in touch with us at sales@kivoro.com so that we can design an appropriate solution for their particular challenge.
