Reduce chemical consumption
Why should you think about it?
The cost of chemicals has a significant impact on production costs.
- The main cost drivers are mass starch and surface starch, followed by strengthening chemicals and other process chemicals.
- Lower waste paper quality promotes the use of chemicals to keep strength parameters and/or machine availability at least stable.
- The prices and availability of different types of starch vary - sometimes greatly.
- Handling chemicals is sometimes tricky.
How can we support you in this?
With our know-how, products and solutions, we can help you to reduce your chemical consumption as follows - and all while maintaining or even improving product quality:
- Improvement of the formation and thus
- reduced starch consumption.
- reduced need for strength agents.
- Reduced starch consumption thanks to modern cooking processes in starch preparation.
- Flexibility in the use of different types of starch.
- Reduction of cleaning chemicals by optimizing the cleaning process for wires and felts through better conditioning.
