<p>A process for preparing an adhesive for corrugated cardboard, which preparation is carried out in two steps, by preparing a carrier based on water, starch and lye in the first step, whereby the quantity of starch in the first step is less than the quantity of starch in the second step, and whereby a second mixture is added to the carrier in the second step, said second mixture consisting of the remaining quantity of starch, water and borax, which is carried out batchwise, whereby in the first step the reaction mixture is added to a first relatively large mixing vessel provided with a stirrer and is led from the first mixing vessel to a second, smaller vessel in which the reaction mixture is subjected to a higher shearing stress than in the first mixing vessel, and is then recirculated to the first mixing vessel and, after a predetermined viscosity of the carrier has been reached, the second mixture is added to the carrier and mixed with said carrier to a homogeneous mixture, whereby the starch granules added in the second step substantially do not gelatinize and, after mixing to a homogeneous mixture, the corrugated cardboard adhesive is discharged.</p> |
