Abstract:
A plant for the production of embossed articles is disclosed. Upstream of the embossing group for the plant and add on a glue dispensing unit and/or a printing unit having a cliché roll for the application of the glue on a web of band or ink on the band is provided. The web or the band moves between the cliché roll and a contrast cylinder. Actuator means are provided for approaching or moving away a portion of the cliché roll from the contrast cylinder. Thus, regardless of the type of paper used, it is possible to obtain a perfect adhesion of the webs without jeopardizing the softness of the paper used. It is also possible to obtain the printing in selected areas of the product being processed.
Abstract:
A process for providing indicia and an elastic-like behavior to a web substrate is disclosed. The process comprises the steps of: providing a web substrate; printing indicia on the web substrate; and, providing the web substrate with a plurality of first regions and a plurality of second regions comprising the same material composition. A portion of the first regions extend in a first direction while the remainder of the first regions extend in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction to intersect one another. The first regions form a boundary completely surrounding the second regions. The second regions comprise a plurality of raised rib-like elements. The first regions undergo a molecular level and geometric deformation and the second regions initially undergo a substantially geometric deformation when the web material is subjected to an applied elongation along at least one axis.
Abstract:
A fibrous product (10, 20, 20b, 30), especially tissue paper product, non-woven products or a hybrid thereof, and preferably hygiene and cleaning product has at least one first ply (42; 62; 84; 104) with at least one embossing pattern including embossed depressions starting from a base plane of the ply; the embossed pattern being characterized by the following features: the embossing pattern has a minimum motive surface area of at least 3 cm×3 cm; the pattern includes a high number of embossed depressions which are sized and/or positioned such as to form a motive element covering the motive surface area; wherein at least some of the embossed depressions are sized and/or positioned such that minimum distances between pairs of consecutively arranged embossed depression vary. A method for producing such a fibrous product is also described.
