Abstract:
The embossing device for embossing packaging material comprises a set of embossing rollers with male die and female die rollers co-operating with one another, the surface of which is provided with texture elements, wherein the texture elements (M6R6) on the surface of the female die roller (M6), which are assigned to the texture elements (P6E6) on the surface of the male die roller (P6) are not inversely congruent by an amount of above 15 μm in axial and radial direction and the texture elements of the male die and female roller associated with one another comprise facets (F) for the purpose of local pressure elevation. A facet (F) comprises faces (FN), which with respect to the imaginary, continuous surface of the texture is inclined. With such facetted rollers, a very large variety of films can be embossed in an aesthetically appealing manner, wherein the films can be mainly employed in the tobacco and foodstuff industry.
Abstract:
A sheet binding device includes a pressurizing unit that pressurizes a sheet bundle to bind the sheet bundle, a pressurizing section that is disposed in the pressurizing unit and configured to be moved from a waiting position separated from the sheet bundle to a pressurizing position at which the pressurizing section pressurizes the sheet bundle, a drive motor that actuates the pressurizing unit, and a controller that controls the drive motor such that the pressurizing section is engaged with the sheet bundle at a predetermined setting velocity.
Abstract:
An embossing system is provided for embossing at least a portion of a web comprising a first roll and at least a second roll. The first roll and second roll may define a first nip for embossing the web. At least one of the first roll and the second roll has elongated embossing elements extending substantially in the machine direction and optionally at least one of the first and second rolls has elongated embossing elements extending substantially in the cross-machine direction. At least one of the first roll and the second roll may also have perforate embossing elements extending substantially in the cross-machine direction that may or may not be elongated. The embossing elements are capable of imparting one or both of a cube embossing pattern or a perforate emboss on the web. The web may be a cellulosic fibrous web, a portion of which is lignin-rich, high coarseness fiber having generally tubular fiber configuration. In addition, the web may be creped with an undulatory creping blade.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatuses for deforming a web are disclosed. In one embodiment, the method involves feeding a web into a nip that is formed between at least two intermeshing rolls. The rolls are configured for deforming a web with at least two sets of deformations that are oriented in different directions relative to the surfaces of the web.
Abstract:
Methods of mechanically deforming a material are disclosed. The methods of mechanically deforming a material involve using forming members that are moving at different surface speeds relative to each other to form deformed web materials.
Abstract:
A method for producing a multi-ply web including at least three plies of flexible material, such as paper and nonwoven material, by means of gluing the plies. The method includes the steps of embossing first and second webs of flexible material separately between a respective embossing roll and a respective impression roll; applying glue to one side of each of the embossed first and second webs; feeding the first and second webs and a third web separately into a laminating nip. The third web is between the first and second webs, and the glue is applied to sides of the first and second webs facing the third web so that the first, second and third webs are combined in a single step. The laminating nip is formed between the first embossing roll and a laminating roll.

Abstract:
A multi-ply tissue includes a first cellulosic embossed ply having an emboss pattern applied over a portion of its surface and a second cellulosic embossed ply of tissue. The first ply is contact laminated to the second ply so that the primary adhesion between the plies of tissue is the result of contact between cellulosic fibers. The first and second plies contact one another in contact areas, with the contact areas between the first and second plies defining compliant voids. The contact areas between the first ply and the second ply are elongated and/or rounded contact areas. A method of forming a multi-ply tissue involves conveying a base sheet through a nip between an impression roll and a pattern roll to produce an embossed base sheet having a back side possessing projections, applying adhesive to the back side of the embossed base sheet at spaced apart locations, and applying a flat backing sheet to the back side of the embossed base sheet so that the backing sheet adheres to the back side of the embossed base sheet at said spaced apart locations. A method of producing an embossed tissue involves successively conveying a base sheet through a nip between a first impression roll and a pattern roll, and conveying the base sheet through another nip between the pattern roll and a second impression roll, wherein the second impression roll is made of rubber having a lower hardness than the rubber from which the first impression roll is made.
Abstract:
A process for manufacturing a multi-ply paper product, the having the steps of: providing a first paper web; providing a second paper web; and providing a converting apparatus. The converting apparatus has a first pressure roll; an embossing roll; a second pressure roll; and a marrying roll. The embossing roll has a plurality of embossing protrusions wherein each embossing protrusion has a distal end. The first pressure roll and the embossing roll are juxtaposed in an axially parallel relationship to form a first nip therebetween. The first nip has a first nip width. The first pressure roll and embossing roll are adapted to receive the first paper web at the first nip. The second pressure roll and the embossing roll are juxtaposed in an axially parallel relationship to form a second nip therebetween. The second nip has a second nip width. The second pressure roll and embossing roll are adapted to receive the first paper web, after the first paper web has traversed the first nip, and the second paper web at the second nip. The marrying roll is juxtaposed in an axially parallel relationship with the embossing roll to form a third nip therebetween. The marrying roll and embossing roll are adapted to receive the first paper web and the second paper web, after the first paper web and the second paper web have traversed the second nip, and provide a marrying load of greater than about 100 pli after the first paper web has traversed the first nip, and marry the first paper web to the second paper web. The process includes the steps of: forwarding the first paper web through the first nip such that portions of the first paper web are embossed at the first nip to provide an embossed first paper web; forwarding the embossed first paper web and the second paper web through the second nip such that that the embossed portions of the first paper web are further embossed and portions of the second paper web are embossed and are registered with the embossed portions of the first paper web to provide a double-embossed first paper web and a embossed second paper web; and forwarding the double-embossed first paper web and the embossed second paper web through the third nip whereby the embossed portions of the first paper web and the embossed portions of the second paper web are married to provide an embossed multi-ply paper product.
