The disclosure relates to a method for producing a three-dimensionally shaped plate consisting of a wood fibre material. The aim of the disclosure is to provide a method and a system for producing three-dimensionally shaped plates from a wood fibre material, which are logistically simplified and can be used on demand. To this end, e) steam is applied to a prefabricated flat starting plate consisting of a wood fibre material, and f) the plate is coated with a separating means, g) shaped in a forming station, and h) hardened by cooling.

A plastic laminated structure includes a plate member of plate-shaped fiber-reinforced plastic and a core member of trapezoidal-wave-shaped fiber-reinforced plastic. The plate member includes a thermoplastic resin and reinforcing fibers embedded in the thermoplastic resin. The core member is thermally bonded to the plate member, and includes a thermoplastic resin and reinforcing fibers that is embedded in the thermoplastic resin. A part of or the entire area of a main surface of the plate member includes smooth and rough surfaces. The rough surface has larger roughness than the smooth surface. The smooth and rough surfaces are alternately arranged in stripes.

An apparatus is provided for producing longitudinally corrugated product. The apparatus includes a guide roll for guiding a web of medium material, wherein at least a portion of the guide roll is adapted to be arranged at an angle relative to another portion of the guide roll. The apparatus further includes a plurality of flute forming bars oriented generally along a longitudinal axis of the web to define a first corrugating labyrinth effective to longitudinally corrugate the web to an intermediate geometry. The apparatus further includes a pair of corrugating rollers that cooperate to define, at a nip therebetween, a second corrugating labyrinth effective to longitudinally corrugate the web to a substantially final geometry. The apparatus further includes a web travel pathway for the web that follows a path around a portion of the guide roll, through the first corrugating labyrinth, and through the second corrugating labyrinth.

A method and apparatus for pleating or otherwise shaping a web are described herein. The method and apparatus may have numerous applications. In some embodiments, the method and apparatus are used in the formation, filling, and sealing of unit dose packages for consumer products. A method and apparatus for forming sealing two moving webs together, which webs have portions that are non-planar are also described herein.

A process for making an elastomeric laminated product including the steps of laminating an elastomeric film between a first spunbond nonvowen layer and a second spunbond nonwoven layer so as to form a laminated web, transporting the laminated web through intermeshing rollers so as to strain portions of the laminated web to form activated regions in the laminated web, and transporting the activated laminated web to a first portion of a rotating wheel, the first portion of the wheel having a cross direction width that is smaller than a cross direction width at a second portion of the wheel, so that the laminated web follows rotation of the wheel and is stretched in the cross direction at the second portion of the wheel before separating from the wheel at the first portion in a relaxed state.

A method of forming a continuous sheet of pleated, hook-form, fastener product includes training a substrate about a pressure roll having an outer surface defining circumferential grooves. As the substrate approaches a nip between the pressure roll and a mold roll calendered with the pressure roll, a portion of the substrate is disposed within a corresponding one of the grooves between the pressure roll and a stationary horn extending into the groove whereby a longitudinally-extending pleat is formed in the substrate. The pleated substrate is then passed through the nip where resin regions are laminated to a side of the substrate opposed to the pleat.
