TL;DR: In this paper, an embedded RFID processor is coupled between a first and a second linerboard, with a corrugated medium (26) sandwiched between the first and second linens.
Abstract: A corrugated structure (10) has a first and a second linerboard, with a corrugated medium (26) sandwiched between the first and second linerboard (22, 24) An RF processor (12) is coupled between one of the linerboards (22, 24) and the corrugated medium (260 The processor (12) may be positioned on an inlet (14) or label (16), which may also include an antenna (18) A method of forming a corrugated structure (10) having an embedded RFID processor (12) includes providing a linerboard (22, 24) and a corrugated medium (26), positioning an RF processor (12) between the linerboard (22, 24) and the corrugated medium (26), and affixing the linerboard (22, 24) and corrugated medium (26) together with the RF processor (12) positioned therebetween An assembly line (50) for forming a corrugated structure (10) includes a supply of a first linerboard (22), a second linerboard (24), a corrugating material stock (48), and inlets (14) that have an RF processor (12) and antenna (18) coupled to the inlets (14) The assembly line (50) also includes a corrugator (52), a single facer (54), a double facer (56), an inlet applicator (58), and a cutter (60) The inlet applicator (58) is for coupling the inlets (14) to the corrugated medium (26)
TL;DR: A coating composition for the linerboard of corrugated paperboard provides water and grease resistance but is water vapor permeable, and thus permits a different mode of manufacture when aqueous adhesives are employed in the assembly of the linerboards.
Abstract: A coating composition for the linerboard of corrugated paperboard provides water and grease resistance but is water vapor permeable, and thus permits a different mode of manufacture of corrugated paperboard when aqueous adhesives are employed in the assembly of the linerboards and corrugated medium; in particular the linerboards may be coated with the coating composition prior to assembly of the corrugated paperboard because the water vapor permeable coating permits escape of the water of the aqueous adhesive, during drying of the assembled components of the corrugated paperboard; the coating composition employs a styrene-acrylate copolymer and a C14-C18 fatty acid complex of a metal ion having an oxidation state of at least 3, such as chromium.
TL;DR: In this paper, a single facer for manufacturing single-face corrugated board having a first corrugating roll and a second corrugation roll meshing with the first roll to form a nip for receiving a sheet medium to corrugate the same, the second roll being provided with radial conduits extending toward its periphery through which suction is applied for attracting and holding the corrugaded medium onto the peripheral surface thereof.
Abstract: A single facer for manufacturing single-faced corrugated board having a first corrugating roll and a second corrugating roll meshing with the first corrugating roll to form a nip for receiving a sheet medium to corrugate the same, the second corrugating roll being provided with radial conduits extending toward its periphery through which suction is applied for attracting and holding the corrugated medium onto the peripheral surface thereof. The outer ends of the conduits terminate in the bottoms of axially spaced circumferential grooves formed around the periphery of the second corrugating roll. Finger-like plates engage within the circumferential grooves to seal at least some of the conduits disposed in the portion of the second corrugating roll which is not lapped by the corrugated medium. The apparatus further includes an applicator for applying adhesive to the peaks of the flutes of the corrugated medium and a pressure roll for pressing a sheet linerboard against the corrugated medium after the adhesive has been applied to bond the linerboard to the corrugated medium.
TL;DR: The use of chemithermomechanical (CTMP) pulp from rapeseed residues as raw material for the manufacturing of linerboard and fluting medium grades was investigated in this paper, and the addition of nanofibrillated cellulose (NFC) was proposed to decrease the intensity of the beating process and enhance the final mechanical properties.
Abstract: The use of chemithermomechanical (CTMP) pulp from rapeseed residues as raw material for the manufacturing of linerboard and fluting medium grades was investigated. For this purpose, different alternatives for improving mechanical and optical properties of rapeseed CTMP were studied, and the addition of nanofibrillated cellulose (NFC) was proposed to decrease the intensity of the beating process and enhance the final mechanical properties. Handsheets from each pulp were produced, and their properties compared to those of linerboard from recycled paper. Compared to kraft linerboard from recycled paper, rapeseed CTMP required less beating to reach an optimal breaking length. This reduction in beating can be combined with the addition of NFC to improve the mechanical properties of paper. Therefore, rapeseed CTMP from crop residues is a technically affordable alternative for the production of fluting and linerboard grades.
TL;DR: In this article, a method of manufacturing wax impregnated corrugated paperboard is described, which includes the steps of moisture conditioning a first side of corrugating medium and impregnating the second side with wax prior to forming the paperboard.
