How Amylofloc® Enhances Retention and Machine Runnability in Paper Mills
In the competitive world of papermaking, efficiency is everything. From fiber retention to machine speed and product consistency, mill operators are constantly seeking smarter ways to boost productivity while maintaining the quality of finished paper. Paper manufacturers are under constant pressure to optimize every stage of production, from fiber retention to machine efficiency, while delivering consistent quality across paper grades. At the same time, sustainability targets and operational cost control have become central to decision-making on the production floor.
In response to these evolving demands, Amylofloc®, a breakthrough innovation from Bluecraft Agro, offers a smarter, more efficient solution. Designed specifically for the paper industries, this advanced modified starch enhances both retention and machine runnability, addressing two of the most critical challenges in modern paper manufacturing with a single, high-performance product.
Why Retention and Runnability Matter in Papermaking
In high-speed paper production, every fraction of efficiency counts. Poor retention of fines, fillers, and fibers leads to:
- Excessive raw material loss
- Higher operational costs
- Reduced sheet strength
- Increased load on effluent systems
At the same time, inconsistent machine runnability – caused by deposits, breaks, or imbalanced chemical systems can dramatically slow down output, increase downtime, and affect paper uniformity.
Amylofloc® addresses both challenges simultaneously, offering a performance-enhancing alternative to conventional additives used in paper starch systems.
What Makes Amylofloc® Different?
Amylofloc® is a specially modified cationic starch designed for paper grades starch applications. (Amylofloc® is a specially modified cationic starch developed for use in paper manufacturing, where it enhances key properties of the final paper product.) Its functional benefits go beyond basic bonding or strength enhancement – it actively improves process outcomes.
Key benefits include:
- Superior fines and filler retention
- Improved formation and sheet consistency
- Enhanced machine drainage and speed
- Reduced chemical dosage requirements
- Cleaner operations with less system build-up
This makes Amylofloc® an ideal solution for paper mills producing a wide range of grades from packaging boards to printing papers.
Tailored for the Demands of Modern Paper Mills
Every paper machine is unique, and so are its challenges. Amylofloc® has been engineered to adapt across various grades and machine speeds. Whether you are producing high-performance packaging materials or fine paper for printing, this advanced starch helps stabilize the wet-end process and reduce variability.
More importantly, Amylofloc® supports:
- Consistent retention control, resulting in better yield
- Optimized water loop management, reducing system stress
- Increased sheet strength, contributing to higher quality end products
This level of performance makes Amylofloc® a leading choice in modified starches for the paper industry.
Sustainable and Efficient Production Starts with Smarter Ingredients
Paper manufacturers are under increasing pressure to improve sustainability without compromising product performance. Amylofloc® supports that goal by:
- Reducing material waste through better retention
- Minimizing the use of synthetic chemicals
- Enabling energy-efficient production through enhanced drainage
As the global push toward greener practices intensifies, Amylofloc® offers a plant-based, high-efficiency additive that aligns with both economic and environmental objectives.
