APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR PRODUCTION OF A TWO-PLY PAPERBOARD PANEL - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240042726 titled 'APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR PRODUCTION OF A TWO-PLY PAPERBOARD PANEL
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes an apparatus and method for producing a two-ply paperboard panel. Here are the key points:
- The apparatus includes a supply of top paperboard panel web.
- A flap-cutting die cut module cuts a pattern of flaps in the top paperboard panel web.
- A flap-forming die roll and a flap-receiving pocket roll define an interface where the top paperboard panel web is received.
- An adhesive-application station applies adhesive to the surfaces of the flaps.
- A supply of bottom paperboard panel web is provided and joined to the top paperboard panel web at a web-merging station.
- A hold-down system holds the top and bottom paperboard panel webs together while the applied adhesive sets or cures.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Packaging industry: This apparatus can be used to produce two-ply paperboard panels that can be used for packaging various products.
- Construction industry: The two-ply paperboard panels can be used for construction purposes, such as creating temporary walls or partitions.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Efficient production: The apparatus automates the process of producing two-ply paperboard panels, reducing the need for manual labor and increasing production efficiency.
- Strong bond: The adhesive-application station ensures that the flaps formed on the top paperboard panel web are securely bonded to the bottom paperboard panel web, resulting in a strong and durable two-ply panel.
Benefits of this technology:
- Cost-effective: The automated production process reduces labor costs and increases productivity, making it a cost-effective solution for producing two-ply paperboard panels.
- Versatile: The apparatus can be used with different types of paperboard panel webs, allowing for versatility in the production of various panel sizes and designs.
- Strong and durable: The adhesive application and hold-down system ensure a strong bond between the top and bottom paperboard panel webs, resulting in a durable two-ply panel that can withstand handling and transportation.
Original Abstract Submitted
an apparatus for production of a two-ply paperboard panel is provided. the apparatus comprises a supply of top paperboard panel web. a flap-cutting die cut module receives the top paperboard panel web and cuts a pattern of flaps therein. a flap-forming die roll in juxtaposition with a flap-receiving pocket roll defines an interface therebetween through which the top paperboard panel web is received. an adhesive-application station applies adhesive to surfaces of flaps formed on the top paperboard panel web. a supply of bottom paperboard panel web is provided, which is joined to the top paperboard panel web at a web-merging station. a hold-down system holds the top and bottom paperboard panel webs together while applied adhesive sets or cures. a method for producing a two-ply paperboard panel is also disclosed.
