Method and apparatus for manufacturing corrugated board comprising two layers of corrugated medium joined together in tip-to-tip registration of the two mediums, without an intermediate liner, and with at least one outer liner. Adhesive is applied to the tips of the two mediums, and the tips are brought together and held in contact with each other while the adhesive sets at least partially during conveyance of the mediums along a linear path.

Corrugated board manufacture

A machine for making corrugated board, comprising means to feed two separate webs between two respective pairs of corrugating rolls to form two corrugated layers, a first adhesive application for applying adhesive to the peaks of at least one of the two corrugated layers, means to bring the two corrugated layers together at the peaks of the corrugations, means to convey the joined corrugated layers past a second adhesive applicator for applying adhesive to the exposed peaks of one of the corrugated layers, and means to apply a liner web to the corrugated layer.

Machine for making corrugated board including a vacuum/positive pressure

A method and apparatus are disclosed for preparing box blanks of corrugated board which include feeding the blanks of corrugated board in succession along a feed path and in a direction parallel to opposite edges of the blanks. The blank is folded to form a flat tube prior to its formation into a box. The opposite edges of the folded blank overlap and are reduced in thickness in the areas in which the overlap occurs. Cutting means adjacent to the feed path removes material from opposite faces of the respective edges. The resulting flaps overlap with an unreduced portion of the board of the finished box.
