A plant (10) for the production of corrugated cardboard comprising: a corrugating unit (36) adapted to produce containerboard, and a double baker (60) adapted to receive the containerboard. The corrugating unit (36) is positioned in proximity to an output end (66) of the double baker (60). The plant (10) further comprises a transfer unit (72) adapted to receive the containerboard and move it. The transfer unit (72) comprising: an input end (722) for the containerboard positioned in proximity to the corrugating unit (36), and an output end (724) for the containerboard positioned in proximity to an input end (64) of the double baker (60).

The invention relates to a glue dam seal assembly for a glue application installation of a corrugated board plant. The glue dam seal assembly comprises a support installation and a first glue dam sealing element for tight disposal on a first roller. The first glue dam sealing element is pivotable in relation to the support installation. The glue dam seal assembly furthermore has a first urging installation for urging the first glue dam sealing element onto the first roller upon generating a first urging force acting on the first glue dam sealing element.

A plant for producing corrugated cardboard. The plant includes an arrangement for producing a corrugated cardboard web laminated on one side, the arrangement having a corrugating apparatus for generating a corrugated web, which has a corrugation, from a first material web, having a glue-applying apparatus for applying glue to tips of the corrugation of the corrugated web, and having a pressing apparatus for pressing a top web onto the tips, provided with glue, of the corrugated web. The plant furthermore has a severing apparatus which is arranged upstream of the corrugating apparatus and which serves for at least regionally severing the first material web in the transverse direction thereof.

A single facer comprises: a swingable frame supporting a press roll in such a manner as to allow a gap between one of a pair of corrugating rolls and the press roll to be changed; an adjusting screw contactable with a contact member coupled to the swingable frame; an encoder for detecting vibration of the press roll occurring during formation of a corrugated medium by the pair of corrugating rolls; and a control section for controlling drive of a motor for displacing the adjusting screw. The control section is configured to execute a first control processing of driving the motor until a magnitude of the vibration is reduced to a given value.

Provided are a humidifying device and a corrugating machine whereby release of heat from heated water is suppressed and a liner paper is humidified. A humidifying device for humidifying a surface liner paper affixed to a core paper via a starch glue has a liquid application roller for applying heated water to the surface liner paper, provided downstream from a preheater for heating the surface liner paper prior to the affixing; and a chamber facing the peripheral face of the liquid application roller and provided with an internal space to which the heated water is supplied. The chamber further has an opening for supplying the heated water to the peripheral face of the liquid application roller, and is formed so that the length of the opening in the direction orthogonal to the axial direction of the liquid application roller is less than the diameter of the liquid application roller.

The plant for producing a corrugated board includes one or more single facers and a double facer, as well as respective unwinders for unwinding reels of paper webs. Arranged along the production line, in suitable positions, are thermographic cameras which acquire images through which it is possible to trace the various characteristics of the cardboard, for example the moisture content thereof, detect manufacturing defects, after which it is possible to intervene on one or more process parameters so as to eliminate the causes of the defects.

A device for cardboard storage and removal for a bridge in a corrugated cardboard production line includes a bridge over which a conveyor system for conveying the single-sided laminated corrugated cardboard web is arranged. The exit end of the conveyor system for conveying the single-sided laminated corrugated cardboard web is provided with a clamping and cutting unit and a movable cardboard storage carriage unit is provided under the conveyor system for conveying the single-sided laminated corrugated cardboard web, under which conveyor system a conveyor belt system is provided in the bridge, and in the bridge an opening is provided, under which a waste cardboard collecting carriage is provided. The movable cardboard storage carriage unit stores the cardboard by means of cardboard storage rolls, which retain the single-sided laminated corrugated cardboard web flat on the bridge. In the event that a splicing defect is detected, the defective piece is cut out by the clamping and cutting unit and ejected by the conveyor belt system to the waste cardboard collecting carriage through the opening. Hence, it follows that productivity is improved.
