Abstract: A method for processing cardboard includes the steps of irradiating a surface of a cardboard blank with a first laser in order to remove material from the cardboard blank according to a first pattern. The first laser is irradiated with a first laser power and with a laser beam thereof being scanned with a first scanning speed. The first laser power is greater than or equal to 0.5 kW. The first scanning speed is greater than or equal to 2000 mm/s and less than or equal to 25000 mm/s. The method also includes the step of irradiating the surface of the cardboard blank with the first laser in order to remove material from the cardboard blank according to the first pattern and is carried out while the cardboard blank is being conveyed.

Abstract: A fluid distribution device, for applying a fluid onto a transfer roller, includes an elongated chamber, at least one inlet for letting a fluid into the chamber, a longitudinal opening extending in the axial direction and adapted to face a transfer roller to allow fluid to exit the chamber and contact the transfer roller, and at least one wiper blade extending along at least a portion of the longitudinal opening. The chamber includes, at each of the two axial ends of the chamber, a wall separating the chamber from a cavity. The wall has a wall surface arranged to face the transfer roller when the device is in use. The wall is dimensioned so that the wall surface will be distanced from the transfer roller when the device is in use, so as to allow fluid to be present in a gap between the wall surface and the transfer roller.

Abstract: A stacking machine for stacking flat items including a first stacking table which descends from a position higher than the infeed end to a stacking position, the separation of a constant flow of flat items in consecutive bundles occurring with this movement, and on which table flat items received from an infeed end are subsequently stacked to form bundles, connected to first displacement means which displace it between a stacking position in which the first stacking table receives flat items and an unloading position in which the bundles are transferred to the unloading means; a second stacking table which descends from a position higher than the infeed end to a stacking position, the separation of a constant flow of flat items in consecutive bundles occurring with this movement, and on which table flat items received from the infeed end are subsequently stacked to form bundles, connected to second displacement means which displace it between a stacking position in which the second stacking table receives fla
