Abstract
A hot plate for a double facer used in the manufacture of corrugated paperboard includes a substantially all copper construction which enhances thermal conductivity and heat transfer efficiency. Steam for heating the plates is provided through an array of copper tubes extending between manifolds on opposite sides of the hot plate, all in a manner which obviates the need for heavy pressure vessel construction. The hot plate is allowed to float on its supporting frame in a manner which accommodates lateral thermal expansion, and the lateral ends are tied vertically to the supporting frame to prevent thermal bowing characteristic of prior art systems.
