An automated method is provided for forming pleats in a textile product in a production line. The method includes conveying a web of the textile product on a conveyor in the production line. The web is folded using a folding board at a folding station in the production line. The method includes removing heat from the folding board. The automated method can allow for high speed folding of the textile product without damaging the textile product from heat caused by friction between the web of textile product and the folding board.

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 system for producing a multiple layer material (49), comprising first and second corrugation rolls (14, 15) for providing a corrugated profile (16) having a plurality of crests (47), wherein the system further comprises first and second press rolls (21, 22) for applying a material sheet (19, 20) to crests (47) of the corrugated profile (16), and a plurality of heating members (28) arranged between the press rolls (21, 22) for welding the material sheet (19, 20) to the crests (47) of the corrugated profile (16) to form the multiple layer material (49). A guiding plate (48) is arranged between the corrugation 10 rolls (14, 15) and the heating members (28). The guiding plate (16) is arranged with a profile engaging side (50) having a plurality of crests (52) corresponding to the crests (47) of the corrugated profile (16). A cooling arrangement is provided for cooling the guiding plate (48). A method for producing the multiple layer material (49) is also disclosed.

Device (1) for laminating a substrate (12) with a thermoplastic film (11), said device (1) having the following: a laminating unit (2) for laminating the substrate (12) with the thermoplastic film (11), a feed device (4) for feeding the thermoplastic film (11) to the laminating unit (2), wherein the feed device (4) for the thermoplastic film (11) has devices (14) for heating a first side (16) of the film (11) and devices (15) for cooling a second side (17) of the film (11), and a device (20) for collecting condensate produced on the cooling devices (15).

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.

Patterned substrates having a first substrate region that is incrementally mechanically stretched with corrugations and a second substrate region having a plurality of discrete unstretched portions completely surrounded by the first substrate region.

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.

An automated method is provided for forming pleats in a textile product in a production line. The method includes conveying a web of the textile product on a conveyor in the production line. The web is folded using a folding board at a folding station in the production line. The method includes removing heat from the folding board. The automated method can allow for high speed folding of the textile product without damaging the textile product from heat caused by friction between the web of textile product and the folding board.
