Abstract: The invention relates to a pressure plate arrangement for joining together a plurality of material webs each comprising at least one plain web and/or at least one corrugated web, to form a corrugated cardboard web (P), at least one of the material webs being provided with adhesive at least in sections. The arrangement comprises a contact pressure unit (14) provided with a pressure plate (22), and a heatable counterpressure plate (26), between which the material webs being joined together are passed. The contact pressure unit (14) and the pressure plate (22) are arranged to be approachable to or removable from the counterpressure plate (26), wherein the pressure plate (22) is also constructed to be heatable. The invention also relates to apparatus for joining together a plurality of material webs comprising a plurality of such pressure plate arrangements.

Abstract: Knife shaft pair for cutting web-like material, in particular undulated board, wherein the knives contact each other temporarily under bias, if necessary, shortly before termination of the cutting operation, the cutting edge lying at the trailing side of a first knife being formed in a manner known per se so as to be uniformly continuous with an equal spacing from the shaft axis, the other knife having a saw-toothed cutting edge whose teeth extend, commencing from the continuous line of contact with the first knife, away from the shaft of the second knife and in the approximation region of the knives at an acute angle to the connecting plane between the line of contact and the uniform cutting edge such that they lie at the trailing or the leading side of the first side during the cutting operation.

Abstract: One-sided corrugated cardboard machine comprising a first fluted roller and a second fluted roller in meshing engagement with each other and between which a web of cardboard is introduced to be corrugated, the second fluted roller being provided in the circumferential outer surface thereof with several annular grooves arranged at axially spaced intervals, and a device which during the movement of the web of corrugated cardboard from the position of engagement between the second fluted roller and the first fluted roller to the position of engagement between the second fluted roller and an auxiliary roller biases the web of corrugated cardboard with a vacuum pressure via the suction grooves, wherein the second fluted roller has suction boxes associated therewith one each at the inlet and the outlet of the web of cardboard, said suction boxes respectively extending only over a small portion of the circumferential region of the fluted roller not covered by the web of corrugated cardboard and being closed on the s

Abstract: An apparatus for longitudinally cutting and grooving a continuously moving length of material. The device has at least two cutting and grooving units, each provided with separate cutting and grooving tools. The units are positioned at different vertical levels and are vertically movable in unison in the same direction to selectively place one of the units in position for operating and the other unit in position for adjustment.

Abstract: A heating device for corrugated cardboard in a corrugated cardboard pasting machine, comprising several heating plates spaced in feeding direction and covering the maximum width of the corrugated cardboard strip while being adapted to be connected to a source of heat via a control device and against the upward facing heating surface of which the cardboard is guided under load by a weighting belt and/or compressed air, with two or more separate heating plates arranged side by side transversely of the direction of movement of the corrugated cardboard in at least one section and adapted to be separately heated by means of the control device.
