  • Publication number: 20060060044
    Abstract: In a corrugating plant for the manufacture of sheets of corrugated board, it is provided, for improved flexibility and productivity to be obtained, that several continuous sectional webs of corrugated board Bi, which are allocated to varying formats of sheets of corrugated board, are produced from a web of corrugated board on a cutter and grooving unit; that they are divided on a switch into at least three levels and supplied to a cross cutter with at least three sectional cross cutters for sheets of corrugated board to be cut to size. The fact that the web of corrugated board can be cut and divided into at least three sectional webs of corrugated board Bi, raises the productivity and flexibility of the corrugating plant. Furthermore, a method of manufacturing sheets of corrugated is described.
