A method of correcting post-warp in a multi-layer product under prevailing conditions includes detecting an initial warp value of the multi-layer product indicative of an initial degree of warpage therein. A moisture-conditioning setpoint is selected from among a plurality of moisture-conditioning setpoints that have been correlated to respective initial warp values and their associated post-warp values for prior-made multi-layer products, based on a comparison between the detected initial warp value and the respective initial warp values in the database. Further, the method includes adjusting a moisture content in at least one layer of the multi-layer product according to the selected moisture-conditioning setpoint.

A network-based system and method for providing desired moisture set point values for individual papers lines based on the physical properties of each liner and the atmospheric conditions associated with a corrugator is disclosed. The desired moisture set point values are based on the hygroexpansivity of each individual paper liner. Once the moisture set point value has been determined, a conditioning apparatus adjusts a moisture value for each liner in order to tune the post-warp characteristics of the final corrugated product.

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.
