Franconia
Takes the Guesswork Out of Starch Cooking
Franconia Paper Corp. of Lincoln, NH has obtained
complete control over its starch cooking operations and
now uses bulk starch instead of bagged starch. A
full-control agitator-viscometer system and a new
materials handling
system did the trick.
Further, by being able to control uniformity and
viscosity of standard starch completely, the company has
virtually eliminated the need for high-priced special
starches.
Franconia tossed away the dice cup on its starch
cooking operations by placing a 15 hp turbine-blade
agitator on each of its two new starch cookers to insure
uniformity, and by installing a viscometer to give full
control over viscosity.
