  • Patent number: 10252437
    Abstract: The line comprises a feed path (P) of the web material (N) and, along the feed path, a transverse cutter (5) for cutting scraps (FS) from the continuous web material (N). The line includes a system for removing scraps of web material cut by the cutter. The system for removing scraps is fitted with a scrap accumulator member (21). The accumulator member (21) is movable in a direction generally parallel to the feed path (P) of the web material between: a position for receiving scraps, wherein the distance between the accumulator member (21) and the cutter (5) is such that scraps (FS) generated by the cutter (5) are collected by the accumulator member (21); and a standby position, at a distance from the cutter (5) such that scraps (FS) generated by the cutter are collected in a space (D) between the cutter (5) and the accumulator member (21).

  • Patent number: 8714223
    Abstract: The machine for producing a corrugated board includes a first corrugating roller (3) and a second corrugating roller (5) defining a corrugating nip (7) through which a first web material (N1) passes. A gluing unit (9) applies a glue on crests of the first web material (N1) formed in the corrugating nip (7). A pressing member (11) cooperates with the second corrugating roller (5) to press a second web material (N2) against the crests of the first web material (N1). A pressure regulating system adjusts the pressure of the pressing member (11) against the second corrugating roller (5). At least a first pressure chamber (27C), which contains a pressure liquid and a pressure transducer, is associated with a first abutment (33) for said pressing member (11). A control unit (69) opens a stop valve (39) when the pressure detected by the pressure transducer (37) is outside a tolerance range.
