A system and method for producing a board product made from paper products that have embossed medium that features an improved structural profile. The improved structural profile may include a triangular flute pattern wherein each flute may exhibit a first linear leg support and a second linear leg support that each support a center apex structure. The apex may have a substantially flat portion that is configured to engage a facing. As such, the board product may further include one or more facings that are adhesively coupled to the embossed medium. Further, the apex of each “triangle” may also have a groove or channel for receiving an adhesive in a continuous and uniform manner.

The invention relates to a litho laminating machine (10) having a frame (18), an accelerator table (20) mounted to the frame (18) so as to be pivotable around a pivot axis (P), a plurality of accelerator rollers (24) mounted on the table (20), and a motor (42) for driving the accelerator rollers (24), characterized in that the motor (42) is mounted to the frame (18), with a rotatable transmission element (30, 36) being mounted so as to have an axis of rotation which coincides with the pivot axis (P), both the motor (42) and the accelerator rollers (24) being connected to the transmission element (30, 36).

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.
