The invention relates to a material roll preparation arrangement. The material roll preparation arrangement comprises a receiving apparatus for receiving a material roll to be prepared with a wound material web, and at least one material roll preparation apparatus which is assigned to the receiving apparatus for the preparation of the material roll which is received in the receiving apparatus for further processing, in particular in a corrugator plant.

An apparatus for introducing transverse trapezoidal corrugations into a traveling web is provided, and includes a plurality of corrugating rollers for imparting corrugations to the web. In disclosed embodiments four such rollers are provided in a roller train defining respective first, second and third nips therebetween, wherein the teeth of the first and second rollers have rounded distal faces and those of the third and fourth rollers have flattened distal faces. Methods of yielding a trapezoidal corrugated web also are disclosed.

A single facer including a first corrugating roller with a first rotation axis and a second corrugating roller with a second rotation axis. The two corrugating rollers form a corrugating nip, through which a paper sheet passes. The single facer also includes a pressing member, co-acting with the second corrugating roller and forming a pressure nip therewith, as well as a glue applicator co-acting with the second corrugating roller. With the second corrugating roller a suction box is associated, extending approximately parallel to the second rotation axis of the second corrugating roller and defining a suction area around the second corrugating roller. A series of laminar members, each of which is inserted in a respective one of the annular grooves of the second corrugating roller, are arranged between the pressing member and the first corrugating roller and extend in the respective annular grooves towards the suction box.

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 corrugating roll unit conveyance apparatus includes a mounting base having a first accommodation part for accommodating a corrugating roll unit to be removed and a second accommodation part for accommodating a corrugating roll unit to be installed; and a movement device for moving the mounting base to a first replacement position at which the first accommodation part faces the existing corrugating roll unit, a second replacement position at which the second accommodation part faces a space from which the existing corrugating roll unit has been removed, and a retracted position separated from the first replacement position and the second replacement position.

The present disclosure is directed to a shipping container with a corrugated medium that lines an interior pocket of the shipping container as well devices and components (e.g., corrugating rollers, corrugating machines, scoring rollers, and scoring machines) that are utilized to manufacture the shipping containers. The corrugated medium has flutes that cushion, support, and protect a product that is shipped within the shipping container. The corrugated medium may include a first portion with first flutes and a second portion with second flutes that are offset relative to the first flutes. The offset first flutes and second flutes results in peaks of the first flutes nesting within valleys of the second flutes, and peaks of the second flutes nesting within valleys of the first flutes.

The invention concerns a corrugating roll for producing a corrugated web, having a fluting, from a material web. The corrugating roll has a corrugating roll body, a central longitudinal axis, a peripheral direction about the central longitudinal axis and a surface fluting with at least one first corrugating tooth, which is arranged peripherally on the corrugating roll body, and at least one second corrugating tooth arranged peripherally on the corrugating roll body and which differs from the at least one first corrugating tooth for reducing corrugating roll operation-related vibrations.
