Corrugated Starch Adhesive Mixing Systems
Efficient, Repeatable, Quality Corrugated Starch Adhesives
For corrugators producing new and recycled board, an efficient and consistent corrugated starch adhesive system is crucial to keeping production moving. Greene House Group represents Ringwood Company’s industrial starch mixing systems, designed for the needs of today’s corrugators.

RS-3000 | Automatic Industrial Starch Mixing System
The RS-3000 produces the world’s most consistent corrugated starch adhesive.
High Shear
All of our systems are based on the concept of high shear. High shear is the process of adding extreme agitation to eliminate the “false initial viscosity” that’s routinely found with Stein-Hall adhesives. The RS-3000 eliminates false readings.
Automation
The RS-3000 receives a signal from the adhesive storage tank indicating that a new batch is needed. The system will then automatically add batch ingredients and mix a new batch. The adhesive is then transferred to the proper storage tank.

RS-3000 by Ringwood Company - Represented by GHG
Years of Ringwood experience and customer input from around the world led to the development of the RS-3000, the new world standard for industrial starch mixing systems. Today’s corrugators have to produce more than ever before with increasing quality requirements. This new reality has increased the need for mixing systems that are extremely high performing, consistent and repeatable.

Manumix System | Manual Industrial Starch Mixing System
Efficiently combine corrugated starch adhesive ingredients in an easy-to-clean stainless steel mixer
If your budget is constrained or capacity does not warrant a fully automated system, the ManuMix is an efficient, economical system that mixes corrugated starch adhesives to stable viscosity.
Basic System
The basic system includes our vertical High Shear mixer, electrical controls and accessories for adding industrial starch ingredients.
A 30 HP vertical agitator eliminates leaking seals.
In the standard configuration, water and starch are added by weight for accurate proportion control.
Skidded System Features
(1) 400-gallon High Shear mixer constructed of 304-stainless steel with dished bottom. The mixer is equipped with a 30 HP, 1800 RPM vertical high shear agitator. This mixer has a capacity of 380-gallon batches in approximately 28-45 minutes.
(1) Digital temperature indicator to display mix tank temperature
(1) Electrical (turbine type) water meter
(1) Water counter (to be located in the control panel found later in this proposal)
(1) 1½” solenoid for water addition to mixer
(2) Heavy–duty 2” L-4125 Viking pump and motor set, with a 5 HP, T.E.F.C. motor, sheaves, belts, guard and floor mounting base. The pump will transfer approximately 40 GPM of adhesive to the storage tank
(1) Viscosity cup
Optional Machine Add-ons
Steam Addition
The equipment listed under Item 1 is based on a warm water supply of 105 F. If this water source in not available, the following equipment will automatically heat plant water to the desired temperature:
(1) Ball valve with single acting actuator
(1) Durable check valve
(1) Digital temperature controller
(1) Steam trap
(1) Thermo / couple to sense water temperature
(1) Lot additional electrical controls
(1) Lot additional valves, pipe, and fitting to factory install the automatic steam equipment.
Skidded System
The Skidded ManuMix System is a completely self-contained unit including a 500 gallon stainless steel storage tank.
Reduce corrugator waste significantly
Prepare up to 380 gallons in 30 minutes
Reduce starch consumption by 10-20%
(1) Platform with stairs and railings (approximately 75 sq. ft. area) for access to mixer and storage tank. Deck to be non-skid floor plate and legs are 3” pipe
(1) 800 Gallon Stainless Steel Storage tank with agitator and TVC control.
(1) Set of electrical controls in a dust and water-tight (NEMA 12) cabinet, pre-wired to terminal strips, consisting of side operated disconnect, control circuit transformer, push button, indicating lights, selector switches and starters with line and overload protection for equipment quoted.
(1) Lot material and labor required to interconnect individual components on a skid-like structure including:
A. Adhesive piping
B. Water piping
C. Electrical wiring between motors and skid devices to our control cabinet
Mixer Timer
This item will automatically disengage the mixer’s agitators at a predetermined time. This will prevent the “gelling” of the mixer industrial starch contents to heat generated through agitation.
Liquid Caustic Addition
This item includes a pneumatic liquid caustic pump, and precision liquid caustic meter. This allows the use of liquid caustic from a bulk tank or tote bin.
GHG Partner | Corrugated Starch Adhesive Mixers
Since 1963 Ringwood has developed industrial starch systems that reflect current trends in the corrugated industry. Their newest system is the RS-3000, a fully automatic system that features a stainless steel frame, deck and mixer, all controlled by the latest PLC and technology.
The RS-3000 is a build-to-order system. You can tailor the features to match the special needs of your boxplant. A complete base system that can be custom configured…the best of both worlds.
