The single facer includes a load-bearing frame for housing a first corrugating roller and a second corrugating roller, meshing with each other and mounted in the load-bearing frame. The single facer further includes a pivoting structure, pivoted to the load-bearing frame about a pivoting axis and including two pivoting arms supporting two guide rollers of a continuous flexible member. Two actuators raise and lower the pivoting arms and the guide rollers. A hinge system allows to keep the pivoting structure cantilevered to replace the continuous flexible member.

The single facer includes a load-bearing frame for housing a first corrugating roller and a second corrugating roller, meshing with each other and mounted in the load-bearing frame. The single facer further includes a pivoting structure pivoted to the load-bearing frame about a pivoting axis and provided with a first guide roller and a second guide roller (35) pivotally supported for rotation on the pivoting structure. A continuous flexible member is guided about the guide rollers. Furthermore, provided for is a control system adapted to displace the pivoting structure to a working position, wherein the continuous flexible member is pressed against the second corrugating roller, and to a raised position, wherein the first guide roller and the second guide roller are spaced from the second corrugating roller.

The single facer includes a load-bearing frame and a pivoting structure pivoted to the load-bearing frame about a pivoting axis. The pivoting structure includes a first pivoting arm on a first side of the single facer and a second pivoting arm on a second side of the single facer. The pivoting structure supports two guide rollers of a continuous flexible member which applies pressure against a corrugating roller. An actuator system controls the traction and position of the continuous flexible member.

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 plant includes at least one single facer, having a supporting structure, adapted to receive a corrugating unit provided with a first corrugating roller and a second corrugating roller meshing with each other. The plant also includes a magazine having a plurality of seats for receiving corrugating units and movable along a first guide. Associated with the single facer there is provided a shuttle movable between the single facer and the guide of the magazine, adapted to transfer corrugating units from the single facer to the magazine and vice versa.

A single facer equipped with a plurality of corrugated roll units each composed of a pair of corrugated rolls is provided with: a lifting/lowering device that causes each of the corrugated roll units to be lifted and lowered between a use position at which a core sheet is to be corrugated, a first position adjacent to and directly under the use position, and a second position adjacent to and directly under the first position; a horizontal movement device that causes each of the corrugated roll units to be moved horizontally between the first position, a third position adjacent to the first position on one side in a sheet transfer direction, and a fourth position adjacent to the first position on the other side in the sheet transfer direction; and a control device that controls the lifting/lowering device and the horizontal movement device to move the corrugated roll units.

Provided are a device and a method for replacing a stage roll unit. This stage roll unit replacement device for performing work for replacing a stage roll unit between a single facer and a stage roll unit transporting cart is provided with: a replacement cart that can move in an X-direction in which the stage roll unit is replaced; a moving device that can move the replacement cart in the X-direction; and a connection device that connects the replacement cart and the stage roll unit.

Provided are: a device and a method for transporting a stage roll unit; and a stage roll unit transporting cart. The present invention comprises: a loading deck having accommodating portions for accommodating a stage roll unit; a first vehicle wheel that can move the loading deck in an X-direction in which the stage roll unit is replaced; a second vehicle wheel that can move the loading deck in a Y-direction crossing the X-direction; a first raising/lowering device that can raise/lower the first vehicle wheel with respect to a traveling surface; and a moving device which is disposed on the traveling surface side, and which raises the first vehicle wheel from the traveling surface by the first raising/lowering device, and can move the loading deck and the first raising/lowering device in the Y-direction while the second vehicle wheel is grounded to the traveling surface.

A single facer equipped with a plurality of corrugated roll units each composed of a pair of corrugated rolls is provided with: a lifting/lowering device that causes each of the corrugated roll units to be lifted and lowered between a use position at which a core sheet is to be corrugated, a first position adjacent to and directly under the use position, and a second position adjacent to and directly under the first position; a horizontal movement device that causes each of the corrugated roll units to be moved horizontally between the first position, a third position adjacent to the first position on one side in a sheet transfer direction, and a fourth position adjacent to the first position on the other side in the sheet transfer direction; and a control device that controls the lifting/lowering device and the horizontal movement device to move the corrugated roll units.

The plant includes at least one single facer, having a supporting structure, adapted to receive a corrugating unit provided with a first corrugating roller and a second corrugating roller meshing with each other. The plant also includes a magazine having a plurality of seats for receiving corrugating units and movable along a first guide. Associated with the single facer there is provided a shuttle movable between the single facer and the guide of the magazine, adapted to transfer corrugating units from the single facer to the magazine and vice versa.
