The plant includes a single facer for the production of a corrugated board. Video cameras detect any gluing defects or other defects of the corrugated cardboard. An image processing unit and a central control unit provide information about the detected defects and can act on one or more operating parameters of the plant.

A corrugated-board machine for manufacturing corrugated board comprises a material-web output device for outputting a material web, a conveying device for conveying the material web along a material-web conveying path, a printing device disposed downstream of the material-web output device for producing at least one printed region on the material web, a printed-region drying arrangement disposed downstream of the printing device for drying the at least one printed region and a connecting device disposed downstream of the printed-region drying arrangement for the connection of the printed material web to at least one further material web in order to produce a printed corrugated-board web laminated on at least one side. A start of drying of the at least one printed region applied to the material web is influenceable by the printed-region drying arrangement.

The invention relates to corrugated-board machine with a print-web printing line, which comprises a print-web unrolling device for the unrolling of a print-web and a printing device for printing the print-web. Furthermore, the corrugated-board machine has a corrugated-board manufacturing line with a cover-web unrolling device for the unrolling of a cover-web, a material-web unrolling device for the unrolling of a material-web to be corrugated, a device for manufacturing a corrugated-board web laminated on one side from the cover-web and the material-web, a lamination-web unrolling device for the unrolling of a lamination-web and a gluing unit for applying glue to the corrugated-board web laminated on one side. The corrugated-board machine further comprises a print-web transfer arrangement for transferring the print-web to the corrugated-board manufacturing line and for the use of the same as a lamination-web.

Systems and methods are disclosed for starting a strip material in a substrate processing machine wherein the machine is not stopped and operators do not have to reach into the running machine to start the strip material. Exemplary systems include a strip material guide apparatus including at least one guide arm and at least one gas stream generator configured to direct strip material from the guide arm into a nip point of a substrate processing machine to join the strip material with the running substrates. The gas stream generator is operable to cause a leading end of a strip material dispensed from the guide arm to be conveyed via a gas stream toward the nip point or toward the running substrates, such that the leading end of the strip material becomes engaged by the substrate processing machine at the nip point and the strip material joins with the running substrates.

A corrugated-board machine for manufacturing corrugated board comprises a material-web output device for outputting a material web, a conveying device for conveying the material web along a material-web conveying path, a printing device disposed downstream of the material-web output device for producing at least one printed region on the material web, a printed-region drying arrangement disposed downstream of the printing device for drying the at least one printed region and a connecting device disposed downstream of the printed-region drying arrangement for the connection of the printed material web to at least one further material web in order to produce a printed corrugated-board web laminated on at least one side. A start of drying of the at least one printed region applied to the material web is influenceable by the printed-region drying arrangement.

The invention relates to corrugated-board machine with a print-web printing line, which comprises a print-web unrolling device for the unrolling of a print-web and a printing device for printing the print-web. Furthermore, the corrugated-board machine has a corrugated-board manufacturing line with a cover-web unrolling device for the unrolling of a cover-web, a material-web unrolling device for the unrolling of a material-web to be corrugated, a device for manufacturing a corrugated-board web laminated on one side from the cover-web and the material-web, a lamination-web unrolling device for the unrolling of a lamination-web and a gluing unit for applying glue to the corrugated-board web laminated on one side. The corrugated-board machine further comprises a print-web transfer arrangement for transferring the print-web to the corrugated-board manufacturing line and for the use of the same as a lamination-web.

The invention concerns a corrugator machine with an intermediate web dispensing device for dispensing an intermediate web, a top layer dispensing device for dispensing a top layer, a printing arrangement located downstream of the top layer dispensing device for printing the top layer, a device located downstream of the intermediate web dispensing device and the printing arrangement for producing a corrugated board web laminated on one side from the intermediate web and the top layer, a lamination web dispensing device for dispensing a lamination web, and a connection device for connecting the corrugated board web laminated on one side and the lamination web with each other whilst forming an at least three-layered corrugated board web.

The invention relates to a corrugated-board machine for manufacturing corrugated board. The corrugated-board machine comprises a material-web output device for outputting a material web, an inkjet printing device disposed downstream of the material-web output device for the imprinting of at least one imprint onto the material web and an overcoating arrangement disposed downstream of the inkjet printing device for overcoating the printed material web at least in regions.

The invention relates to a corrugated board machine for producing corrugated board. The corrugated board machine comprises a detecting arrangement for detecting at least one web of corrugated board web, an order change cutting device arranged downstream of the detecting arrangement and an information processing device, which is in signal connection with the detecting arrangement. Furthermore, the corrugated board machine has a control device, which is in signal connection with the information processing device, with which the order change cutting device is in signal connection and as a function of a change identified by the information processing device of a first printing area printed on the web of corrugated board web to a second printing area printed onto the web of corrugated board web activates the order change cutting device to perform an order change on the corrugated board web.

The plant comprises includes a visual inspection system provided with one or more vision units. The vision units detect and recognize, through adequate electronic processing, the images printed on at least one face of the corrugated board web. Based on the image recognition, the control system recovers, from a lookup table, information for setting the converting line to produce the subsequent order of sheets.
