The present disclosure relates to an absorbent tissue paper product comprising one ply being an essentially continuous ply of fibrous structure having a first side and a second side, the first side having a surface roughness arithmetical mean height (Sa1), and said second side having a surface roughness arithmetical mean height (Sa2). Said ply has a micro-embossed structure and a difference between the surface roughness arithmetical mean heights of the first side and the second side is 7 μm or less (|Sa1−Sa2|≤7 μm), and said ply having a bulk of at least 7.5 cm3/g. The disclosure also relates to a method and an apparatus for producing such an absorbent tissue paper product.

A system for forming a pressware product comprises rollers, a scoring tool, a scoring station actuator, a forming tool, and a forming station actuator. The rollers pull the web along a path having an angle. The scoring tool receives the material from the rollers and includes a vertically shiftable scoring punch with an edge that extends about an outline of the pressware product and a striker plate. The scoring station actuator shifts the scoring tool to form a slot in the web. The forming tool receives the scored web and includes a vertically shiftable positive mold assembly and negative mold assembly. The forming station actuator shifts the positive mold assembly to press against the web and form the pressware product.

A folding arrangement intended for folding of a continuous flow of box blanks. The folding arrangement includes: a feeding arrangement adapted to generate the continuous flow of box blanks through the folding arrangement and a folding unit. Also is a folding machine including the arrangement. Also is a method for adjustable folding of box blanks passing through the folding arrangement.

The invention relates to a method and an apparatus for deep-drawing a tray (1) from fiber-based sheet material (2), such as polymer coated board. The apparatus comprises a female moulding tool (3), which comprises a cavity (7) for forming the tray bottom outwardly, a male moulding tool (4), which comprises a plunger plate (11) for forming the tray bottom inwardly, the plunger plate being movable with respect to the cavity for forming the tray, and clamps (6, 15) with an interface for holding the sheet material and forming a tray rim flange. According to the invention by laterally distancing at least one of the moulding tools (3, 4) from the sheet material leeway is provided for free forming of the tray side walls while wrinkling or tearing of the same is avoided. Spacer plates (13) may be positioned behind the plunger plate (11), to adjust its position in relation to the cavity (7) of the female moulding tool (3). The cavity may have a separate bottom plate (8) and spacer plates (9) there below, or screw means may be provided for adjusting the distance of the bottom of the cavity from the clamp interface and thereby varying the depth of the tray.

A dispensing system can include a dispenser. The dispenser can include a dispenser housing configured to hold a supply of substrate. The dispensing system can include an actuation mechanism configured to provide a length of substrate as a tissue product. The dispensing system can be configured to produce and dispense tissue products of more than one variant. The more than one variant of tissue products can be distinguished from one another by at least one characteristic of the tissue products. The dispensing system can be configured to dispense a tissue product of a particular variant of the more than one variant of tissue products based on input independent of user interaction with the dispensing system.

An expanding machine includes a chassis, a feeding roller carrying a honeycomb paper, a guiding roller, and an expansion roller assembly including an upper expansion roller, a lower expansion roller, and a passage gap. The upper expansion roller includes upper projection assemblies that are staggered with respect to each other. Each of the projecting assemblies includes upper projecting portions and upper supporting portions that are alternate with respect to each other. The lower expansion roller includes projecting portions and supporting portions corresponding to the upper expansion roller. When the expansion roller assembly is put into rotation, the upper projecting portions correspond to the lower supporting portion, and the lower projecting portions correspond to the upper supporting portions, so that the projections that are separately arranged may pull and expand the honeycomb paper, making it not readily compress down the honeycomb paper or generating apparent compressing marking.

Discrete items are conveyed, preferably by a vacuum conveyor, in a machine direction toward a pair of rotating blades. A first intended target of folding, for instance a right portion of front and back panels of a diaper, travels up a ramp, raising the level of the intended target. A rotating blade passes under the intended target of folding, and folds the right portion of front and back panels of a diaper over. If desired, a second intended target of folding, for instance a left portion of front and back panels of a diaper, travels up a second ramp, raising the level of the intended target. A rotating blade passes under the second intended target of folding, and folds the left portion of front and back panels of a diaper over. The folded diaper then exits the folding system and travels downstream for further processing as desired.

A method for producing a packaging body (51) from a web material that comprises paper, wherein the packaging body (51) comprises an indentation (53) for receiving an item to be packaged, the method comprising: pre-tensioning the web material (14); fixing the web material (14) between a holding-down device (32) and a die (31); molding the indentation (53) in the web material (14); and removing the molded indentation (53) from the die (31).
