Abstract: Machine (1) and method of manufacture of a single-face corrugated board sheet whereby a fluted cardboard sheet (23) is glued to a flat sheet. The machine comprises three heating cylinders having parallel axes, tangently arranged pairwise and means (26) for positive traction driving the corrugated board sheet, said means being located downstream of the path of the corrugated board in relation to the three cylinders. The fluted sheet is pressed onto the cylinder downstream of the first contact (29) between the flat sheet and the fluted sheet, in an arc of a circle corresponding to an angle at the center (alpha) of a first predetermined value greater then zero. Said positive driving means are associated with complementary means for heating said corrugated board.

Abstract: A machine for manufacturing a sheet of corrugated board by gluing a fluted sheet of board onto a liner sheet of board includes: a fluted cylinder, a central fluted cylinder equipped with an assembly for applying the fluted sheet against its periphery, a smooth cylinder for bringing the liner sheet into contact with the crests of the flutes of the fluted sheet, and a motorized smooth heating cylinder situated downstream of a path of the corrugated board and entirely at distance from the first three cylinders; an assembly for controlling and adjusting the rotational speed of the motorized smooth heating cylinder; and an assembly for adjusting and maintaining during operation the pressure of the liner sheet on the flutes of the fluted sheet over a line of contact below 3 kg/cm. The fourth cylinder presses the fluted sheet onto the central fluted cylinder over an circular arc corresponding to a subtended angle between an order of 30.degree. and an order of 80.degree..

Abstract: Cardboard box forming and printing machine on which it is possible to effect a change of block on the printers without loss of time detrimental to the output of the machine. The printing modules of the machine are equipped to enable lateral translation either of the block-holder cylinder alone, or of the unit constituted by the block-holder cylinder and its inking device, as well as retractable means for propelling the cardboard which can be positioned when the block-holder cylinder is retracted laterally so as to continue to ensure the operation of advancing the cardboard provided by the latter before its lateral retraction.
