FIG. 2 INVENTOR Herbert Martin FLEWWELLING A TTORNEY MANUFACTURE OF CORRUGATED BOARD FIELD OF THE INVENTION DESCRIPTION OF THE PRIOR ART Corrugated paperboard (or, as it is called, corrugated medium) is generally made from a consolidated fibrous web (so-called corrugating medium), by passing such web through a corrugator. The corrugator consists essentially of a pair of rotating heated rolls having grooved or fluted surfaces, the surfaces meeting and cooperating substantially in the manner of gears. The consolidated fibrous web or paper, when passed between the corrugated rolls, adapts substantially to the configuration of the grooved surfaces and, under the influence of moisture, heat and pressure in the rolls, retains later, more or less permanently, the acquired corrugated shape. On leaving the nip of the corrugating rolls, the corrugated medium is conducted to a glue station where glue is applied to the crests of the corrugations and a first liner is applied to one side, and subsequently a second liner is applied to the other side of the medium.
While the art of thus making corrugated paperboard is well established and widely practiced, certain shortcomings of the process have long been recognized. The' corrugating medium is generally, as above indicated, a paper-like sheet, i.e., a consolidated web in which the fibres are bonded together so that little freedom is left for movement of fibres relative to one another. When the web is passed between corrugator rolls the web is stretched as it is being pressed by the teeth of one roll into the corresponding cavities of the otherroll. The stretch may be considerable and though the heat and moisture conditions in which corrugating is effected lend a certain plasticity to the web, it nevertheless can be ruptured at high machine speeds.
It has long been the desire of the packaging industry to be able to produce a linear corrugated web, i.e., a web with the corrugations running in the longitudinal direction of the web. Attempts to corrugate medium longitudinally have generally resulted in failure, there being no means available to produce commercially linear corrugated webs. The difficulty in the production of such webs is due to the reduction in width of the paper which occurs on corrugating linearly. Suitable means for forming these corrugations while permitting lateral movement of the web are very difficult to design. The heretofore proposed solutions to this problem so far have been tentative and limited to such slow speeds that industrial application has been ruled out.
It is the object of the present invention to provide a system of making a linear corrugated medium.
More particularly, it is the object of the present invention to provide a linear corrugated board wherein the machine direction of the liner or liners is aligned with the corrugations.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Broadly, the present invention relates to a method of forming a corrugated medium comprising forming a dry laid web of non-consolidated, interengaged fibres wherein the fibres are not substantially permanently bonded and are capable of moving relative to one another when the web is subjected to sufficient stress, passing the web between a pair of corrugating rolls, the corrugations in the rolls being formed by alternate land and groove areas extending generally in the direction of travel of the web with the lands on one roll interengaging in the grooves of the opposite roll, consolidating the web as it passes between the corrugating rolls to form a longitudinally corrugated and consolidated web of bonded fibres.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING Further features, objects and advantages will be evident from the following detailed description of a preferred embodiment of the present invention when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in which:
FIG. 1 is a diagrammatic representation of an arrangement for forming a longitudinally corrugated web and laminating same to a pair of liners to form a board,
FIG. 2 is a partial view of the surface of a corrugating roll illustrated in FIG. 1.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS In carrying out the present invention a fibrous web is first formed, preferably by a so-called dry forming method, wherein e.g., the fibres are carried in a gaseous medium in which they are dispersed and individualized and are then laid from said carrying medium substantially uniformly onto a travelling screen, or similar forming surface, to form a web of requisite thickness or height. A convenient method and apparatus for the forming of such a web is disclosed in US Pat. No. 3,482,287 to H.M. Flewwelling. The web should be of a suitable thickness, or basis weight, to allow for the increase in the surface of the corrugated medium that will result from the passage through the corrugating rolls. Any suitable type or mixture of fibres, natural or synthetic, with or without added binders, may be used.
The web may be slightly compacted, if desired, e.g., by passing it through a preliminary pair of rolls; however, the web must not be consolidated prior to passing through the consolidating and corrugating rolls, i.e., there should be, as yet, no permanent bonding between the fibres which is characteristic of a paper sheet. It is necessary that the fibres substantially retain a freedom of movement relative to one another so that the stresses occurring during the passage through the corrugating rolls canbe taken up by the relative movement between and displacement of the fibres within the web.
Referring now to FIG. 1, a web 10 of dry formed material formed by a suitable dry former schematically indicated at IL is delivered into the nip between a pair of circumferentially corrugated rolls l1 and 12 by a suitablemeans such as a belt conveyor schematically illustrated at 9.
From the combined consolidating and corrugating rolls 11 and 12, the consolidated corrugated web 50 passes into a glue applying station 40 composed of applicator roll 14 to which adhesive is applied by a roll 13 and a backing roll 15 which supports the web 50 in contact with the roll 14. In this glue applying station 40, the roll 14 applies adhesive to the upwardly extending tips of the flutes of the corrugated medium 50.
From the glue applying station 40 the web passes into a first liner applying station where a liner 20 is applied to the glued flutes-of the corrugated medium 50 by a roll 16. The web 50 is supported at this station 60 by means of a corrugated backing roller 17 which biases the medium 50 against the first liner 20.
After the first liner 20 has been applied to one surface of the corrugated medium 50, the single-face 52 so formed passes through a second glue applying station 70 where a roll 24, which picks up adhesive from roll 23 mounted in an adhesive pot, applies adhesive to the downwardly facing tips of the corrugations on the medium 50. A backing roll 25 holds the single face 52 to ensure contact between the bottom tips of the medium 50 and adhesive applying roll 24.
The single face 52 then travels to a second liner applying station 80 and is fed between a pair of rolls 26 and 27, and wherein a second liner is applied to the glued downwardly extending tips of the medium 50 by means of the roll 27.
After the two liners 20 and 30 have been applied, the combined board is fed onto a hot plate or the like schematically illustrated at 28. The web is biased against the hot plate 28 by any suitable means, such as the belt 29. In the hot plate section 28, the adhesive is set to bond the first and second liners 20 and 30 to the corrugated medium 50. Depending on the adhesives used, the hot plate system may not be necessary.
The peripheral surfaces of the rolls 11 and 12 may take on various configurations but will be formed with a plurality of alternating grooves 36 and lands or crests 37, each extending circumferentially about each of the rolls. The lands 37 of roll 1 1 are received in the grooves 36 of the roll 12 and vice versa.
The present invention permits designing of the flute characteristics to correspond with the ultimate use to which the corrugated medium is to be applied.
in operation, a web 10 is fed to the nip between a pair of rollers 11 and 12 which are biased together under suitable pressures and are preferably maintained at elevated temperature so that the web 10 is deformed and consolidated as it passes between these rolls to form a bonded or consolidated corrugated medium 50. Adhesive is applied to the tips of the upwardly extending crests of the medium 50 via the roll 14 and a first liner 20 is applied to these tips of the corrugations. Thereafter, adhesive is applied to the tips of the crests at the opposite face of the corrugated medium 50 by the roll 24 and the second liner 30 is applied to the latter tips thereby to form a combined board which may then be passed on to a suitable hot plate or the like where the adhesive is set.
Temperature and pressure conditions in the nip formed between the rolls 1] and 12 for consolidation of the web to form a substantially permanently bonded corrugated medium may be varied. It has been found that a temperature within the range of about 130 to 270 C, with a pressure in the range of 500 to 6,000 lbs/lineal inch produces adequate bonding of the fibres at a speed of 25 ft/min. Under these conditions the moisture content should be in the range of about 1 to 10 percent. Generally it is preferred to operate with low pressure to ensure against excess deflection of the rolls. It is believed the temperature and/or the moisture content may be increased as the speed of the rolls increases.
The temperatures, pressures, and moisture content of the board may be varied for forming to produce different characteristic board, however, care must be taken to ensure that the board is not burned and that blisters are not formed by too much water evaporating in the nip. It is believed that as the speed increases the temperature can also be increased as well as the water content which will improve the heattransfer between the rolls and the medium being formed.
It is generally preferred to operate at elevated temperatures and pressures, however, when the moisture content of the fibre mat exceeds about 25 percent, it is also possible to consolidate a cellulose fibre-containing web at room temperature simply using high pressure. However, great care must be taken in handling the consolidated web during drying is a satisfactory product is to be produced.
It is sometimes desirable to build special features into the medium; this can be done by the addition of special fibres or binders to the medium either before or after consolidation in corrugated form. The medium after corrugating, has both of its surfaces exposed making it possible to simply coat both exposed surfaces of the medium prior to laminating. This is substantially impossible with a conventional corrugator wherein the medium is never separated from the corrugating roll until it is laminated with the first liner to form a single face.
The following are several examples of mediums made under various forming conditions.
EXAMPLES A laboratory corrugator was constructed essentially in accordance with FIG. 1, the rolls being approximately 4% inches long and 6% inches in diameter and having their surfaces machined to form straight sided linear grooves of the shape illustrated in FIG. 2. The flute spacing was in the range ofa Standard B flute profile such as to produce 48 flutes per foot. The rolls were positively driven at the same speed and were heated prior to introducing web samples to be corrugated. The pressure between the rolls was adjusted as indicated in the Table.
A dry formed web was made using disintegrated corrugator scrap on the dry former of the type described in the said US. Pat. No. 3,482,287. The corrugator was run at a linear speed of 25 ft/min, the moisture content for the samples was maintained at 8 percent.
After forming, the medium was combined with a pair of 42 lb/M sq. ft. liners with the machine direction of the liners aligned with the longitudinal axis of the flutes to form a combined board equivalent to a 200 lb. test box as prescribed in Rule 41 of the Canadian Freight Specifications. In the results tabulated the test values have been adjusted to correspond to the values that would be obtained at the standard weight of medium, Le, 26 lbs/M sq. ft.
