Abstract

Abstract of the Invention Improvements in Corrugating Machines A machine for making corrugated board comprising means to feed two separate wob? (W1;W2) between two respective pairs of corrugating rolls (1,2; 3,4) to form two corrugated layers, a first adhesive applicator (5) for applying adhesive to the peaks of at least one of the two corrugated layers, means (2;3) to bring the two corrugated layers together at the peaks of the corrugations, means (8) to convey the joined corrugated layers past a second adhesive applicator (12) for applying adhesive to the exposed peaks of one of the corrugated layers, and means (22) to apply a liner web (W3) to the corrugated layer having the adhesive on its peaks, and including means (21) for pneumatically urging the corrugated layers into contact with the second adhesive applicator as the joined layers move past the second adhesive applying means.

1 IYII/3~65 Improvements ln corrugatlng ~achlnes Thls tnventlon concerns l~provements tn or relating to machlnes for maklng corru~ated board, and ln partlcular to the machlnes descr~bed and lllustrated ln Australlan patent app11catlons Nos.
62323/86 and 2Z~ 5, ln the name of AMCOR L~mlted, to whlch referenc~
~s dlrocted ln thelr ent1r0ty.
Accord~ng to one a~pect of the present ~nventlon there ls prov~dQd a machlne for m~k1ng corrugated boa~d comprlslng means t~
feed two separate webs between two respect~ve palrs of corrugat1ng rol.ls to foPm two corrugated layers, a f~rst adheslve appllcator for applylng ~dheslve to the pea~s o~ at least one of the two corrugated layers~ means to brlng the two corrugated layers together at the peaks of the corrugatlons, means to convey the ~olned corrugated layers past a second adheslve app11cator for apply1ng adheslve to the exposed peaks of one of the corrugated layers, an~ means to apply a llner web to the corrugated layer havlng the adheslve on lts peaks, and lncludtng means for pneumatlcally urglng the corrugated layers lnto contact wlth the second adheslve appllcator as the jolned layers move past the second adheslve appiy1ng means.
tn a preferred constructlon, the ~oined corrugated layers are conveyed by a roll along a path whlch; ~n the absence of pneumattc pressure, would result 1n the exposed peaks of the corrugat~d layer betng spaced from the second adheslve appllca~or, the ~olned corrugated layers be~ng urged pneumatlcally away from the rol1 by a~r pressure applled from wtthln the roll so as to engage the adhe~lve appllcator, Th~s en~ures untform contact of the peaks of the corrugated layer wlth the adheslve appllcator, whlch ~s preferably ln the form of a roll coated wlth a thln layer of adhes1ve.
Other aspects of thls lnventlon, each Use~1 ln lts own rlght and descrlbed ln detall below, are concerned wlth the ~se of alr pressure to llft one corrugated layer from lts cDrrugatlngroll and lnto contact wlth the other corrugatedlayerj a constructl~n of the second adheslve appllcator lncluding a welr over whlch a ~ontrolled flow of adheslvc l5 arranged to pass lnto a gap between a flx~d mcmber and a ~ovlng roll arranged to convey adheslvc from the gap and to ~pply lt to the corrugated medlum (preferably any excess ls removed by . . ~ . .

The ~nventton ~ttl now be descrtbed, by way of ~xample only, wlth reference to the accompanylng drawlngs ln whlch ~ lgure 1 ts a dlagrammatlc s~de v~ew of a machlne for mak~ng corrugated board~ and Flgure 2 ls an enlarged deta~l of p3rt of the machlne of Flgu~e 1.
The mach1ne shown ~n the drDwlngs ls slmlldr to that shown ln f1g~re 3 of A~strallan patent appllcatlon 2271/85 referred to abo~e-Referrlng to Ftgure 1~ a ~eb ~1 ts corrugated~n known mannerbetween fluted corr~gatlng ~olls i and 2, and a web W2 ls s1mllarly corrugated between sl~tlar rolls 3 and 4. Adheslve ls applied to the :;
peaks of the corrugattons by an appllcator roll 5 and the corrugated ~ebs W1, ~2 are brought together between the rolls 2 and 3. Ihe webs Wl,W2 are he1d to thelr respectlve rolls 2,3 by suctlon appl1ed through chambers 6 and 7 respectlvely. The Jolned layers ~re then carr1ed on the ro11 3 towards a flUted carr1er roll 8, As the ~dheslve at thls stage ts not yet tacky, the transfer to the roll 3 of the corrugated layer on roll 2 ~s dsslsted by alr floW radlally ~rom a pressure chamber 9 1n the roll 2.
After arrl~a1 oh the roll 8~ the ~olned corrugated layers are :
held on the fluted per1phery of the roll 9 by suctlon applled thr~ugh a chamber 10. The transfer from roll 3 to roll 8 is asslsted by pressure air applled through a chamber 11' ln the roll 3, As the ~olned layers a~e conveyed ln a clockwlse dlrectlon by the ~oli 8, adheslve ls applted to the exposed (outwardly fact~g) peaks of the corrugated layer N2 by an adheslve appllcator unlt 12.
Refer~ing now ~lso to ~1gure 2, the unlt 12 comprlses an appllcator ro~l 13 whtch ls posltioned so that therels a small gap between 1ts per~phery and the peaks to wh1ch adheslve ls to be applied. A contalner, tn the form of a square tube 14, extends across the machlne and has a ~ole 15 tn lts ~pper wall. ~ plate 16 ~s flxed to the tube so that lts top edge 16A is hlgher than the top of the ~

IY~l/3565 tube~ and a small gap ls formed between lt and the roll 13. A further plate 1~ ls also flxed to the tube 14, opposlte the p1ate 16l so that lts upper edge ls hlgher than that of the plate 16. Th~s the edge 16A
of the plate ~6 forms a welr, so that the amount of adheslYe flowlng over lt and lnto contact w~th the roll 13 ~s substant1ally constant.
Adhes~ve ls ~ed from a tank (not shown) along a plpe 1a Into thQ
tube 14 and out through the hole 15, so that lt flows over the plate 16 ~n~ onto the ~oll 1~. EXCQSS adh~s1ve flows ov~r the plat~ nd returns to the tank. The amo~nt of adhes~ve carrled on the roll 13 15 metered by a roll,er 19 whlch~ ln turn, Is cleaned by a doctor bl~de 20, and the adhestve ls ~eturned to the tank, As the roll 13 rotates wlth the correct amount o~ adhes~e thereon, the ~olned layers be1ng conveyed by the roll 8 pass a pressure chamber 21 ~n the roll 8 from wh1ch alr ftows through sultabie radtal passages 50 as to ~rge the Jolned layers outwards towards the roll 13. Thls causes contact wlth the ~ol1 13 ~nd adheslve to be app11ed to the peaks.
A llner W3 ls fed around a roller 22 and apptled to the adheslve-coated peak~ o~ the outer corrugated layer formed by the web W2. Bondlng of the llner to the peaks ls ass~sted by heaters 23 and ?4. The ~olned corrUgated iayers and the attached llner are then removsd from the roll 8 by pressure alr from chamber 25 and are fed o~er a plate 26 towards further pro~esslng mach1nery whlch forms no part of the present 1nventton.
Pressure alr ls applled at chamb2rs 27 and 28 provlded ln ro11s 2 and 3 respectlYely so as to keep the suctlon holes 1n those rolts cle~r of any debr~s.
The adhestve un~t 12 ls carr~ed by a fra~e Z9 ~hlch can mo~e alon~ a plate 30 on whee~s 31. The frame has ~ toothed rack 3Z lxed to tt whtch ts engaged by a plnlon 33 drlven by a motor 34.
The heaters 23 and 24 are' carr~ed by a frame 35 hav~ng wheels 36 whlc~ run on a plate 3~, A toothed rack 3~, ~lxed to the frame 35, 1s engaged by a plnlon 39 drlven by a motor 40.
the corrugatlng rolls ~nd roll ~ are dr~Yen from a separ~te motor 41. The ~otors 3~, 40 and 41 are connected to a central control ~nlt 4Z, of a sultable kno~n form, so that when the machlne ls stopped, the motors 34 and 40 are energ~sed to rotate the respect~ve plnlons 33 and 39 and thus cause the adhes~ve un~t 12 and the heaters ., .. ,... . - , ., ~ .. , ~, . .
