Corrugated carton Manufacturing - A sticky business
Without pumps the corrugated cardboard production industry would grind to a halt. Pumps mix, transfer and circulate your glue. Air-operated pumps are the logical choice but what if there would be a greener and more cost-efficient solution. Find out why leading companies in your field already switched from air to electric. And how our glue pumps reduce downtime, simplify maintenance and make your processes greener.
Our glue pumps got your entire glue circulation covered
Whether you are looking for an electric pump for your glue transfer or circulation: we got you covered. We work closely together with glue manufacturers to ensure the best possible handling.

Save on energy costs on carton manufacturing and cut back your carbon emissions with QUANTM
A leading UK corrugated cardboard producer replaced 65 2” air-driven pumps with the QUANTM electric pump for his glue circulation lines in 12 factories throughout the country. The impact on energy costs and carbon reduction is huge. The energy consumption dropped from 2,37milj to 535000 kW/year. Combined with the elimination of the cost of compressed air and air compressor maintenance, and the low maintenance costs on the pumps, their investment was paid back in less than 6 months.
And not to forget that by switching to QUANTM, they reduced their carbon emissions by 80%

Corrugated Carton Case Study
A UK manufacturer replaced nearly 115 AODD pumps with QUANTM for starch glue circulation lines. The impact on energy costs and carbon reduction is substantial.
Common problems with glue pumps and how to fix them
The higher the viscosity, the more difficult it becomes to prime the pump. One solution is to apply light heat to the pump. This lowers the viscosity of the glue, facilitating priming and pumping.
