The Cost of Out-of-Round and Out-of-Parallel Corrugated Glue Rolls

It isn’t hard to understand that glue rolls for corrugated machines with excessive TIR (total indicated runout), or glue rolls that aren’t parallel, will cause your corrugator to consume more adhesive.  It’s trickier to calculate how much, and when it makes economic sense to correct the problem.  As long as board quality, productivity, and waste are acceptable, it is tempting to post- pone maintenance.  Reducing the question to a comparison of costs helps managers make informed decisions.When the glue roll is out of round, the gap with the metering roll changes with every revolution.  As a result, the adhesive film thickness on the glue roll changes from thick to thin as the roll turns.  The gap between the lower corrugating roll on the single facer will also change with every revolution, which affects adhesive application.  To compensate for these variations, the operator usually adjusts the metering gap so there is enough adhesive applied where the film is thinnest.The effect is to increase overall adhesive consumption; this increase is proportional to the TIR or the distance the rolls are out of parallel.  This proportion, or ratio, can be used to calculate the additional cost to the box plant that defective rolls create.Out-of-round exampleOn a finger-type single face machine, with a glue system in good condition, the actual glue film thickness on the glue roll will average about .007” in normal operation.If the glue roll has a TIR of .006”, the gap must be increased by this amount to maintain a .007” where the film is thinnest. Allowing for the film split between glue roll and metering roll, the film thickness will increase by some two-thirds of that gap increase, or about .004”.  The result will be a glue film thickness ranging from .007 to .011. The total volume of adhesive available is the same as we would have with a uniform thickness of .009. On a 10” roll, the increase in glue volume calculates to 27%. About three-fourths of that ends up on paper, for an effective consumption increase of 20% with a TIR of .006.  So, as a rule of thumb, we can conclude that every .001” of TIR will increase adhesive consumption almost 3.5%.Out-of-parallel roll has the same effectIf the metering gap is .006” out of parallel, the change in film thickness across the machine would be about 004”, or 2/3 x .006. Assuming a .010” minimum glue film (fin- gearless machine), the film changes from .010” to .014”, and the volume would be the same as if there was a uniform film thick- ness of .012” So .006” TIR and .006” out-of-parallel result in the same increase in adhesive consumption.WHAT ABOUT DOUBLE BACK GLUE MACHINES?On double back glue machines, we need to consider the cell count and size of engraved rolls.  Glue rolls with cell counts of 16 or fewer cells per inch carry the majority of the adhesive in the cell.  These rolls have a very thin surface film thickness, so the application rate is not increased dramatically when there are small changes in the TIR for this type of roll.Glue rolls with higher cell counts—25 quad and up—are affected by TIR at about the same rate as the single facer rolls, or about 3.5% per every .001” TIR.The bottom lineWith today’s modern equipment and high run speeds it is possible to produce large quantities of board, consuming great quantities of adhesive in a short period of time.  Out-of- round or out-of-parallel rolls increase adhesive application rate significantly.A formula can be derived from the information in this study to reveal the true cost of glue-roll TIR or out-of parallel conditions.Cost per .001” of TIR = (TIR x 1000) x .035 x Dry Pound Cost x Average web width factor.Example: TIR=.005Dry pound cost = $0.18/lb exampleAverage web width = 80”Average web factor = 80/98 = .816Cost = (5) x (.035) x (.18) x (.816)Cost = $0.0257 per MSFFor a plant producing 50 MMSF per month, the TIR would cost $1,285 per month in excess adhesive application for only .005” of roll runout.Daily checks of the glue-roll gap with feeler gauges are imperative to ensure board quality and even application of adhesive.  It is not uncommon for plants running high speeds or small flutes to check gaps once or twice per shift.  This ensures the rolls are parallel and the glue film thickness and subsequent application is even across the web.  In any case, the TIR should be checked for all stations at least once per week.

The Corrugator Production Process

A corrugator is a set of machines designed to bring together three, five or seven sheets of paper to form single, double or triple wall board in a continuous process.The 3 key stages:· Corrugating the flutes and gluing to a single liner· Gluing the outside liner to make a rigid board· Cutting the board to the desired sizeThree sheets of paper (containerboard) are unrolled simultaneously on the corrugator: the inner liner, the outer liner and in the middle, the medium (also called fluting).The medium sheet is given a "wave". This corrugation is obtained by pressing the sheet under heat through grooved metal rolls. This operation gives the paper its fluted shape in the single facer.Starch is applied to the tips of the flutes on one side, the outer liner and the inner liner are glued to the tips of the corrugated medium sheet of paper from the outer and the inner side respectively.The Corrugated board comes out of the corrugator as a flat board sheet.The corrugated fluting medium with one liner attached to it is called single face web and travels along the machine towards the double backer where the single face web meets the outer liner and forms a continuous web of single wall rigid corrugated board, which is then cut to length and width and stacked.Details on the various operationsThe splicers and reelstandsThese are the machines which feed the paper rolls into the corrugator and enable rolls to be changed without interrupting the production of corrugated board.The single facerThis machine transforms the paper into a series of connected arches called ? flutes ? thanks to the corrugating rolls (large cylinders with a corrugated profile). Changes in flute profile are accomplished by changing the corrugating rolls.The glue unit and double backerHere, the single face web is prepared for gluing to the outer liner. It is roughly the same process as the single facer unit with some variations of the pre-heating and gluing processes.This glues the outer liner to the fluting to make single, double or triple wallboard. The single face web is pre-heated, starch is applied to the tips of the flutes, and the outer liner is then bonded to the single face web to form corrugated board.This is a complex operation that requires great expertise in the pre-heating, moisture control and gluing processes in order to produce perfectly flat, stable sheets of board.The bridgeThis enables the double backer to run at different speeds from the single facer especially when reel or order changes take place. This is achieved by the single face web forming festoons that are controlled at the single facer station.Bridge festoonsExample of festoonsThe hot plate sectionIt is at this stage that the combination of the single face web and the outer liner is completed. The heating section ensures that the bond is strong by gelling the glue and removing moisture.The rotary shearAfter the board emerges from the double backer, it passes under a rotary shear that cuts across the whole width of the web when necessary. This is used to chop out damaged lengths of board or to effect a change over from one grade of board to another. The small amount of sheared board is ejected from the machine and collected for recycling.The slitter / scorerThis operation slits and scores the continuous web of acceptable board in the machine direction. It is this operation which determines the style of the finished box.The cut-off knivesThese cut the board to the exact required lengths of corrugated sheet to be used in the making of corrugated packaging.The stackerFinally, corrugated sheets are automatically stacked, ready to be moved directly to the conversion machine or sent to another converting plant.

Manufacturing Technology of the Corrugated Cardboard

Imagine you have a seemingly trivial carton in front of you. Have you ever thought that there is a need for a process that requires patience, meticulousness and thorough knowledge from many areas, in order for it to exist?Corrugated cardboard is the combination of two sheets of paper called “cover” Glued to a corrugated paper called “core“. These three layers of paper are assembled in a way that gives the overall structure a much better strength than the one in each layer.This construction makes a series of connected arches, which are known for their great ability to support weights.Plain layer paper (cover)KraftlinerMonolayer:Made 100% from cellulose.Made from at least 80% cellulose and 15-20% waste paper.Multilayer (double layer):The outer layer is 100% of cellulose and the backing layer is 80% cellulose-20% waste paper.TestlinerMonolayer:Testliner 4: Produced 100% of waste mixtureMultilayer:Testliner 1: The outer layer is 100% cellulose and the support ayer 50% cellulose and 50% waste paper.Testliner 2: The outer layer and the support layer are 100% produced from paper waste made from cardboard packaging.Testliner 3: The outer layer 100% of paper waste made from cardboard packaging and the support layer 100% of waste mixture.CORRUGATED LAYER PAPERThe corrugated layer paper is the main component of the corrugated board strength structure, through its sinusoidal shape and rigid bonding points with the cover (plain) paper layers. The main resistance characteristic of the core paper is the corrugating resistance of the corrugations.Sc (semi-chemical)100% produced of semi-chemical cellulose (mixture of hardwood and softwood)80% produced of semi-chemical cellulose + 20% paper wasteW (wellenstoff)Standard 100% of selected waste + starch100% of paper wasteADHESIVESFor gluing the corrugated cardboard, natural or synthetic adhesives are used. Starch provides the best conditions for glue manufacturing, for the cost and solder strength.Advantages of starch glue:The solder strength is high and the starch glue can be used at high speeds of the corrugated cardboard machine.It is easy to be prepared and is not toxic.Dry starch from the bonding area is not abrasive for corrugated cardboard manufacturing machines.It can be easily removed from the equipment.Allows easy collapsing of corrugated paperboard.Disadvantages of starch glue:Requires rigorous temperature control in the soldering zone, namely reaching the gelling point, otherwise the solder strength will be low.Excess water introduced with relatively large amount of glue due to low solids content may cause cardboard marking or curvature, therefore, to remove water, the corrugated cardboard machine must be provided with a relatively developed drying area.Starch is a nutrient medium for microorganisms whose activity causes the solder resistance to decrease.Corrugated cardboard machine - components●Dropper●Pre-heater●Corrugation group●Soldering group●Drying table●Cutting devices●Reception and stacking table

Getting it right on Corrugated board: Keep it clean!

Flexo printers are facing many challenges every day, with the flexo printing process itself often being one of the biggest of them all. This is caused by the huge amount of variables involved. And printing on corrugated makes it even harder to achieve the required result. Keeping the flow of ink consistent is key to getting it right. Flexo printing on corrugated differs from other flexo processes in some important aspects. First of all: the substrate. Corrugated is more absorbent in comparison with plastic film, alu foil or other special papers. And it is also a material of poorer quality, releasing dirt into the system affecting your ink and your aniloxes – and eventually your print. Secondly: the width of the machines involved. These presses are 2,500 mm in width as common, making the process more difficult to control. And last but not least, the printing ink: almost all flexo inks for corrugated are water-based.Substrate and inkLet’s have closer look at the issues concerning the substrate and the inks. The biggest challenge in flexo is to achieve and control the required fixed densities in order to guarantee print quality. When you are applying a specified ink volume to a non-absorbent paper (like coated paper), the ink remains on the surface and the density will be higher than applying the same amount of ink to an absorbent corrugated paper, as the ink will penetrate the paper and the colour density will be poor. Also, the original colour of the substrate will affect the end result. If you are unable to bring the right amount of ink in a correct way to the paper, the required colour density cannot be achieved.   Flexo printers are facing many challenges every day, with the flexo printing process itself often being one of the biggest of them all.

Following screen types may be considered while printing onto corrugated board:High quality flexo post- and preprint, consider open structures like GTT for more consistent ink-transfer (between jobs and over a longer period of time).Standard work, the 60 degrees closed-cell hexagonal is still a very suitable cell type.LongCell patterns are also an option, however, it depends very much on the application which screen and volume combination to choose;4) Keep your aniloxes clean.The surface of an anilox consists of tiny holes – the ink cells – that can easily get clogged by dirt-particles. Hardened ink clogged into the cells, is like stone and can damage the surface of your anilox. Besides, it decreases the amount of ink that can be transferred to the plate. Although cleaning your aniloxes in the right way does take some time – and printers are always short on time – you will find that it does earn you great benefits. Dependant on the usage of your anilox, a once per year deep-cleaning is advisable. It is also extremely important to know the status your rolls are in before you start printing. Every 12 months you should perform an audit of your roll/sleeve inventory.Find out more about the challenges of printing on corrugated substrates. Understanding the process helps you in getting it right much faster: saving you time and costs and earning you better quality.

FOL VS. RSC BOXES

FOL vs RSC - What's the Difference?When it comes to corrugated shipping boxes, there are two you’ll likely consider: “RSC” and “FOL.” To help you understand the differences between FOL vs. RSC boxes, let’s explore how each can impact your bottom line:RSC BoxesRSC stands for “Regular Slotted Carton.” This is the most common box, distinguished by the fact that the four major panels on the top and bottom meet in the middle, then get taped together. The benefit? RSC boxes use less material. Less material translates to…you guessed it: cost savings.However, RSC boxes can have their drawbacks. They typically require more tape to seal (often you only need a small tab of tape to seal a FOL box), and the shorter flaps can be more difficult to fold and close.FOL BoxesFOL stands for “Full Overlap” meaning that the box flaps extend all the way to the opposite side of the box opening and completely overlap. FOL boxes can be ordered with flaps just on top, just on the bottom, or on both top and bottom.The main purpose of the extended length flaps is to increase strength by creating more material overlapping at the top or base (or both) of your package. These boxes are much harder to crush or dent, unlike their RSC counterparts.Which box is more sustainable?While it may seem counterintuitive, it’s likely that the FOL box may be a more sustainable option. Here’s why:1. It allows you to increase the box strength by doubling up layers where you need it, rather than increasing the board grade – a more expensive alternative.2. You can avoid a potentially costly design such as a die-cut mailer.3. More protection means less risk of product damage, therefore saving you costs associated with having to replace or reship a damaged item.4. Non-sustainable interior protection such as foam options or packing peanuts become unnecessary, protecting your wallet and the environment.

Steam system purchase and process technology

For most cardboard factories today, "steam recovery" has become a popular energy-saving concept.However, many cardboard factories in the purchase of steam system, there will still be a lot of doubts and concerns, and often end up blindly following the trend, but do not consider their actual needs.This not only does not save energy, but also cause greater waste and loss.So, what factors should be considered when choosing a steam system?1.Introduction to Steam System           Steam has the following unique advantages: it can carry high density of energy, so relatively all diameter pipe is needed ;When dry saturated steam is used, heat can be transferred at constant temperature.Steam can transfer heat efficiently;Steam flows as fast as it can to where it is most needed;Steam is environmentally friendly, non-toxic and non-flammable.There is no doubt that steam is the best medium for corrugator heating.Steam Table▲Steam Supply SystemGenerally, steam system includes the following parts: boiler, steam pipeline, heat transfer and heat exchange system, condensate trap and steam recovery system.Boilerthe design of the boiler has no impact on the production of corrugated board, as long as the boiler maintain 15 to 16 bar constant pressure.Steam pipesteam is transported from the well sealed pipe to the corrugated line. Starting from the main steam distribution pipe, steam flows along the pipes connecting the wet end of the corrugated line to a single machine, such as the single facer, triple preheater and double facer hot plate.Heat transfer and heat exchange system: the tranission of steam from the fixed steam pipeline to the rotating roller needs to pass through the "steam rotary joint", which is a rotary sealing joint installed on the roller shaft.Inside the roller, steam transfers heat to the wall of the pipe and restores itself to condensed water.Due to a layer of water film formed on the inner wall of the roll and the thicker inner wall of the roll heated by the traditional method, the surface temperature of the roll usually decreases a lot.However, because there is no water film on the inner wall of the annular drilling roll with steam flowing, the temperature on the surface of the roll increases significantly.This is similar to the condition of the hot plate. Hot plate around the bore hole heat application has the following advantages: paper surface temperature rises 15 ℃ or more;Rapid heating and temperature adjustment under different production conditions;The whole working range is temperature balanced.Condensate trapafter heat is transferred to various parts of the machine, steam gradually condenses. In most cases, condensate water flows into the condensate tank.The  of a condenser tank is to drain condensed water and air from the heating unit.Air discharge from corrugated rollers is a particularly important step.When a corrugated roll is heated, steam pushes air in front of it. As air cannot condense, it accumulates in front of the condensing tank.Air conductivity is very poor and having bad insulation effect, so it will lead to the production of temperature imbalance.At present, there are four common types of traps in the market: disc type, inverted bucket type, floating ball type and pinhole type.The al principle of the floating ball trap is as follows: the pressure in the tank is higher than that in the condensing pipe, and the condensing flow into the tank makes the floating ball inside rise.After the valve seat opens, condensed water flows out. When the water level drops, the float ball sinks and closes the valve seat again.If there is air in the condensation tank, the temperature will drop and the exhaust pipe will be opened. ▲Functional Principle of Floating Ball Trap▲Concentrated hydrophobic▲Separate storageSince the pressure required to drain steam is different from that required to drain condensed water into the condensing pipe, if there are several drainage pipes, several heating devices can share a condensing tank.Although it saves money to share a condenser tank with a group of heating units, there is  shortcoming: less condensed water in the unit requires less heat, so the steam will reach to the condenser tank and close it so that other equipment cannot drain.The result: slow heating;Temperature imbalance;Uneven heating;The production speed is slow.So a better solution is to store water separately, which is to have a condenser tank for each device.Steam recovery system: steam recovery system can be divided into open recovery system and closed high-pressure recovery system.In open recycling system, hot condensate water (the temperature as high as 180 ℃ under 10 bar) into the boiler room, and then enter to the tank.At this time to the tank and atmospheric contact, condensed water as fast as steam flow, most of the heat energy emitted into the atmosphere, but the open recovery system has an advantage, because of its low pressure to the tank, so the operation is relatively safe.Different from the open recovery system, in the closed recovery system, the condensed water of high pressure is concentrated in a separate feed tank and directly pumped back into the boiler at a high pressure state.The biggest advantage of such a system is that it basically doesn't waste energy, water or chemicals, but the cost is a little high. ▲Closed recovery systemWe should pay attention to the closed steam recovery system. When condensed water from different processes enters the recovery system, due to different back pressure, If the recovery system is not properly planned, the problem of poor return water of low-pressure condensate will occur.When the air leakage of individual traps is serious, it will cause the back pressure of the whole system to rise, affecting the balance of the system.2 .Heating Equipment on Corrugated Line1) Steam system of single facerIn the steam system of a single facer with corrugated rollers heated by traditional methods, the new steam pipe delivers steam directly to each roll.The condensed water is siphoned out and then drained separately.In the steam system of a single facer with annular drilling corrugated rollers, the corrugated rollers are directly connected to a new controllable steam pipe.Steam first flows to the high corrugated rollers and then cascades to the low corrugated rollers.Before being stored in the condensing tank, the steam flows into a separate tank, and the new steam also heats the other cylinders on the single facer. In order to effectively take the condensate out of the corrugated roll, 2.5 bar to 3 bar pressure is required to ensure that it flows smoothly from all these lines.The steam flow in other heating rollers is the same as that in ordinary heating systems, from siphons to condensing tanks to high-pressure condensing water.For other heating rollers, external heating is not necessary, because their accuracy requirements are not as high as corrugated rollers.2). Hot Part of Double FacerCascade systemIn a cascade system, the waste steam generated by the first part of the hot plate is dehydrated, and then the steam flows into the second part.The pressure in the first part is the highest. In order to ensure smooth circulation, the pressure in the second and third parts will be gradually reduced.In order to make better use of energy, waste steam from the condensing tank in the first part is used to heat the second part.Steam is fed through the electric valve M2. The procedure for the second and third part is the same.The condensate system downstream determines the lowest vapor pressure in the third section.Temperature decreases with the direction of paper transfer, which is suitable for most types of cardboard.However, when processing new micro corrugated (F, G, N and O flute) board will appear the following problems:Flute density and less air inside the cardboard makes it difficult to emit steam, resulting in the formation of bubbles;Gelatinization temperature of starch adhesive is too low;In order to make the surface paper and corrugated adhesion intact, it is best to start at a low temperature, and then gradually rise gradually drying board.This requires further development of parallel cascade systems rather than series cascade systems.Parallel cascade systemAll three parts are connected directly to the new steam pipe so that the pressure can be adjusted during production.The use of secondary steam in different parts is the same as in cascade systems.However, more condensation tanks are required and reflux occurs only at the lowest vapor pressure.The condensate system downstream determines the lowest vapor pressure, which can be reset.3.The Role of Steam SystemIn the production of single facer, the energy is distributed as follows: 70% is used to heat the cardboard and its water and evaporate the water;20% for gelatinizing and drying starch;10% is lost in convection and infrared transmission.Therefore, it is necessary to purchase a steam system to solve the problem of heat utilization.Steam system is an important component of corrugated board production line.And corrugated board molding usually adopts saturated steam heating, steam heating system will be saturated steam continuously sent to the pre-heater, preset, single facer, three layers of pre-heater, gluing machine, roller inside and bake, hot plate, corrugated base paper and corrugated board through the steam drum and the surface of the hot plate, due to hot plate surface temperature is high and the steam fed into steam drum , the heat exchange with the base paper or cardboard in low temperature, preheat base paper or cardboard, to take away heat on the surface of the roller and the hot plate part of this will leads to the formation of a heater inside the latent heat consumption of steam condensation water, which will be discharged in a timely through the trap system,while constantly replenishing saturated steam.Steam system evaporates the excess water in the base paper, adjust the water in the base paper to make it evenly distributed, especially in the width direction, to ensure that the base paper forming does not bend deformation in the corrugated coating adhesion, provide a certain amount of heat, ensure that the adhesive quickly gelatinization and shaping, at the same time to evaporate the excess water.It is the most important  of steam system to make heat meet the need of corrugated paper forming and paste gelatinization.On the basis of ensuring the quality of corrugated paper production, it is required to provide steam and heat in line with the speed of production, and enables minimum energy consumption, so as to achieve the highest energy efficiency, production costs to the lowest. ▲Poor recycling results in waste of energyThe role of steam system in corrugated board production line can be summarized as follows:1.The heat to meet corrugated paper forming and paste gelatinization.2. Make the heat meet the needs of production speed and quality3. Maintain minimal energy consumptionIt is not enough to maintain the minimum energy consumption after knowing the role of steam system, because the requirements of steam system are different with different speed, different base paper width and different production line configuration.Therefore, in the purchase of steam system must be based on the production requirements and production conditions.When purchasing steam system, the following two aspects need to be considered:Steam recovery machineSteam distribution layout.4.Factors to consider when purchasing steam systemsSteam recovery machine is the core equipment of steam system, which uses waste steam and high temperature condensate water to directly compress into the boiler in the way of soda mixture to form a cycle system of steam production-use-waste steam recovery, so as to maximize the recovery and utilization of steam waste heat and achieve the purpose of energy saving. Therefore, we should firstly pay attention to recovery machine in the purchase of steam system.There used to be a piston type steam recovery machine, but now it has been basically eliminated, because it is not conducive to the production of the required stable temperature.At present, the steam recovery machine on the market is basically a single cylinder of high pressure pump and double cylinder of high pressure pump these two kinds, their main difference is: the single cylinder of high pressure pump in the control of back pressure to stabilize the temperature of the production line, mainly by controlling the pressure difference between the two ends of the trap, to ensure the stable working state of the trap.And double cylinder high pressure pumps have self-suction , but most of them do not have back pressure control , so it is easy to lead to the trap work instability.At present, there are some dual-cylinder high-pressure pumps are also increasing back pressure control.In fact, single cylinder high pressure pump or double cylinder high pressure pump is not the key to the problem, the key is that the trap to have a pressure difference on both ends, so that the trap can work normally and steadily to meet the temperature requirements of the production line stability. Above is a closed loop steam recovery flow chart.Steam goes from the boiler to the production line to the reclaimer, forming a closed loop.In fact, the steam system does not have to be completely closed loop to achieve the purpose of saving, because the first priority of saving is to meet the production, and then consider saving on the basis of meeting the production.Finally, when purchasing steam system, the distribution layout of steam should also be considered. The following factors should be considered when laying out steam distribution pipelines:1) The pipeline shall have enough inclination to facilitate water discharge2) Drainage at the bottom of the pipe (drainage at the low point) and exhaust at the high part3) Oblique pipe insertion4) Avoid condensation water aggregation with reduced inner diameter of concentric pipe5) Steam is introduced at the top of the pipeIt should be emphasized that the preheating cylinder can use steam to do the secondary utilization of steam.The steam used by the single facer, corrugated roller and pressure roller can be collected, separated by water vapor, and reimported to the preheating cylinder for reuse. ▲Schematic diagram of steam pipe for double facer hot plate   ▲Schematic diagram of steam pipe of single facer5.How to use intelligent control to reduce steam consumptionThe teat energy use of China's corrugated board production line, from the 1970's to the 1980's with fire (gas) heating, from the 1990's is the use of steam heating.As for how to control steam heating and how to reduce consumption, we basically start from steam pipe design of equipment and structural design of heating components.1). Traditional methods of reducing steam consumptiona) Boiler continuous water feeding control energy-saving design, through a all number of continuous automatic water feeding, reduce boiler pressure change, improve boiler thermal efficiency, reduce energy consumption, which can save 3-5% of the energy.b) Energy saving design of recycling confidential backwater pipeline: the heat of backwater will not be lost and the pressure will be repeatedly pressed back to the boiler for use, which can save 10%-15% of energy.c). The energy saving design of steam pipeline utilizes the temperature difference between single and double facer and preheating cylinder for secondary steam utilization.That is, the steam used by the single and double facer through the separation of soda water and then to heat the preheating cylinder, make full use of steam heat, reduce steam loss, which can save 2%-3% of the energy.Single facer and double facer after the use of secondary steam return preheating cylinder and triple preheating cylinder reuse, its design principle is shown in the figure. ▲Schematic diagram of steam pipe of triple preheater and single facer   ▲Chart 1：No secondary utilization ▲Chart2：Secondary utilization ▲Chart3：Secondary utilization plus trapd). The energy-saving design of heating components is mainly manifested in reducing the volume of heating vessel, reducing the consumption of steam loss, and improving the speed of temperature change, which can save 2%-3% of energy.①Design Schematic of Heating Around Corrugated Roller                                               ▲Chart 4：Design Schematic of Heating Around Corrugated Roller②Design of thin hot plate                ▲Chart 5：Design Schematic of thin hot plate③Design of Arc Plate ▲Chart 6：Design of Arc PlateThe above is the current status of the industry, here to introduce how to use intelligent control to reduce steam consumption through process design.2).Energy saving design by process temperature controlProcess design: In fact, it is to control of each kind of grams of heavy base paper through intelligent equipment, glue gelatinization temperature and production speed of the corresponding process point control, to achieve the minimum temperature required by the base paper molding and glue gelatinization.At present, the industry is generally divided into two types of equipment, the first is low-speed machine, steam pressure of 6-8 kg/cm squared;The second is a high-speed machine with a steam pressure of 9-13 kg/cm squared.Preheating cylinder through the base paper wrapping angle to adjust the preheating temperature, hot plate through temperature control to adjust the temperature of hot plate, single facer is not temperature control, how much pressure steam main pipe provided, then how much temperature used for board production.In this way, our corrugated board production line can not achieve the minimum temperature production for different weight of base paper grams, nor can we effectively control the cardboard quality and steam energy loss.Temperature control system of corrugated paper :a) Detection of single facer: through the detection of single facer, the feeding in  temperature of all kinds of base paper, linerboard, medium (attachment wet end control)  and feeding out temperature of flute paper , and according to the production speed and the corresponding base paper gram parameter, it automatically adjust and control single facer and preheating cylinder with minimum steam temperature and an appropriate angle, the gluing quantity and equipment all kinds of pressure, etc.b)Detection of double facer : by detecting the feeding in temperature of every layers of flutes linerboard(attachment wet end control) of double facer, and the feeding out bottom temperature of cardboard and linerboard temperature of hot plate of double facer, and according to the production speed and the corresponding base paper gram parameter to automatically adjust and control double facer paragraphs hot plate and preheating cylinder with minimum steam temperature and the preheating cylinder angle, and quantity of the paste on the adhesive tape machine paragraphs cotton pressure, etc.c) Through the dry end of warping intelligent control system to measure the flatness of the cardboard of the current order, the system can automatically adjust and control the corresponding process temperature point parameters and quality (warping) parameters of the wet end control (paper temperature control system) equipment in accordance with the preset process parameters.Through intelligent control of the minimum temperature required for the temperature point parameters of each process, combined with the control of pressure parameters, steam energy loss can be effectively controlled at the same time, the production of stable and high-quality cardboard, reduce the labor intensity and skill requirements of workers, ensure the efficiency of production equipment and reduce the loss.3).Principle and application of low temperature and low pressure productiona) the main role of normal temperature in corrugated productionForming: reduce the reaction force of elastic deformation of the base paper (flute) forming and the internal stress on the board after the forming through the action of temperature.Adhesion: through the role of temperature, the role of the adhesive on the base paper quickly gelatinization, in order to achieve reliable adhesion.Preset temperature: pre-heat the base paper before forming and gluing it into cardboard, adjust the humidity of the base paper before entering the hot plate of single facer, etc.From the above points of view, the temperature of the cardboard has a great impact:(1) Single facer corrugated roll between the corrugated forming temperature conduction is relatively easy (relative to the hot plate adhesion), and the pressure roll and corrugated roll inside paper adhesion temperature conduction is also relatively easy (also relative to the hot plate adhesion), as shown in the figure:  Loading Mode P1: Direct TouchTemperature conduction mode C1: direct conduction temperature on both sides(2) Double facer mainly refers to the hot plate gluing, cardboard in the hot plate loading mode and temperature conduction mode are not as good as the structure of single facer, so the double facer hot plate temperature requirements will be higher.As shown in figure: Loading Mode P2: Indirect Touch, and not too much pressure, not to crush the cardboard, P2 < P1Temperature conduction mode C2: direct touch on one side of linerboardSeptum: heat can only be transmitted indirectly by thermal radiationFor high speed machine, high gram cardboard not only on the double facer temperature requirements.In addition, the gelatinization temperature of the glue on the double facer should be adjusted to match the high speed.In general, the steam pressure of the medium-speed machine is 8-9 kg/cm squared, and the steam pressure of the high-speed machine is 11-13 kg/cm squared.b).Influence of temperature on physical properties of base paper and board(1) The influence of temperature on the humidity of base paperThe figure below is the process test diagram of temperature relative response time and humidity change of base paper:  Figure 1:Curve A, curve B represent base paper of different temperature with different time back to the corresponding temperature.Figure 2: curve A and curve B represent the same type base paper with different temperature, after the same time, corresponding to the change of the temperature.Curve B represents base paper with low heating temperature has lower humidity. The curve A indicates that the high temperature of the base paper has higher corresponding humidity change.Humidity first low then high, that the base paper has a stronger water absorption after high temperature, which is the reason why the cardboard to be more flat right after being produced, and become warped after a period of time.(2) Temperature on the physical properties of base paperThe following figure is the process test diagram of temperature on the physical properties of base paper:  The figure shows that the higher the temperature, the greater the fiber damage of the base paper, the aller the rupture strength, ring compression strength, on the contrary, the lower the temperature, the aller the loss of the physical properties of the base paper.c).Implementation of suitable temperature and pressure production(1) From the single facer forming and gluing of the loading mode and temperature conduction mode, corrugated line production does not need a high temperature.Normal high speed single facer, speed is more than 250 m/min is only required to steam pressure 12 + 1 kg/cm squared (steam temperature to 192 ℃ + 4 ℃), why?Reason 1: chromium plated corrugated wheel in high (in order to extend the service life of corrugated wheel), the need for a higher temperature corrugated wheel elastic deformation.Tungsten carbide corrugated wheel wear is very all, do not need to extend the service life and improve the high, do not need a large elastic deformation, temperature is not one of the conditions for the elastic deformation of corrugated wheel.Reason 1: chromium plated corrugated roll in high (in order to extend the service life of corrugated roll), the need for a higher temperature corrugated roll elastic deformation.Tungsten carbide corrugated roll wear is very all, do not need to extend the service life and improve the high, do not need a large elastic deformation, temperature is not one of the conditions for the elastic deformation of corrugated roll.Reason 2: At high speed, the base paper in the corresponding heating roll stay for a short time, increase the temperature is to ensure that the gelatinization and gluing, it also can not increase the temperature, only reduce the gelatinization temperature of glue to match the speed of corrugated machine.Conclusion: single facer, high-speed, > 250 m/min) steam pressure can be controlled completely in 6 kg/cm squared - 7 kg/cm squared, steam temperature of 165 ℃ to 170 ℃.(3) As to the double facer cardboard gluing loading mode and the temperature conduction  is not as good as the single facer, the hot plate temperature is a very important factor to control and ensure the quality of cardboard (including warping, degumming and other physical performance indicators).Generally, at high speed, the steam pressure of several sections of the hot plate decreases by 12kg/cm squared one by one (according to the condition of the cardboard and the gram weight). In fact, we can match the speed of double facer by reducing the gelatinization temperature of glue, so as to reduce the required temperature of the cardboard.There are two states:A .Three layer board with low gram and five layer board due to low gram, base paper heat conduction is strong, at the same time, lower gelatinization temperature (56 ℃ + / - 1 ℃), to avoid glue form ahead of false gluing, it need some hot plate steam pressure from low to high.B. Due to the poor thermal conductivity of the high-gram heavy base paper, the thickness of the glue line is relatively large, the glue is not easy to be glued in advance, and the steam pressure of several sections of the hot plate is from high to low.Actual whole line temperature control visible corrugated line steam pressure distribution table:d).At this stage, the use of less and less weight of base paper has become the development trend of the industry, corrugated board in the production process to the base paper damage is not only temperature, but also the main damage is caused by mechanical extrusion of the base paper, the water in the cardboard will also cause the damage of the base paper, a large part of the water in the cardboard is brought into the cardboard by glue.These three aspects lead to the base paper production process damage as high as 10-15%, 70% of the damage is caused by mechanical extrusion, 20% of the damage is caused by glue, only 10% of the damage is due to temperature problems.As the base paper moisture and temperature are related, the biggest impact on the cardboard moisture is the glue moisture content, only in the cardboard glue moisture content research has a major breakthrough, can reduce the impact of glue on the cardboard moisture.That is to say, the reduction of water content or natural gelatinization at low temperature and room temperature, then the cardboard production may have a major change.Low temperature and low pressure or room temperature production of corrugated board, in order to better protect the original physical properties of paper, improve the quality of corrugated board, low temperature and low pressure production of corrugated board must solve the glue adhesion performance under low temperature and low pressure, corrugated board molding, to ensure high speed production of corrugated board.  --If there is copyright dispute, please contact us to delete.

WOW! 36,000 $ year cost save by “Zero-Tail join” Splicer !

As is known to all, a all butt roll will be more or less formed after the base paper being used. The all roll formed by the base paper is generally placed on the edge of the cardboard line for the convenience use of operators. However, the use of all paper rolls will increase the amount of labor of the on-site operators, resulting in the loss of the use process and the chaos of the base paper warehouse management, paper management chaos etc., so as to increase the production cost. Why do carton factories pay more and more attention to the  of zero-tail  splicing?Throughout the current market of splicers, whether the zero-tail paper  can be achieved becomes a reference standard equipment for the carton factory to purchase. Now, we will analyze why the carton factory attaches great importance to zero-tail paper. zero-tail paper is mainly to detect the tension of the paper through the pressure sensor on the guide roller , paper breaking tension is zero. As we all know, in order to ensure that the paper joint has enough fastness to resist the paper tension, the way in achieving paper splicing of the corrugated line is overlapped, that is, two pieces of paper overlap up and down, the middle is double-sided adhesive. However, this paper connection also brings about negative effects. In actual production, the width of the joint, in addition to the overlapping part of the tape, also has a all tail left when cutting. The actual overlap part is much larger than the width of the tape. Paper web converted into flute through the corrugated roll extrusion molding, paper web crossed from the two corrugated roll, and the corrugated roll mesh is very precise, any change will cause the corrugated roll vibrated, especially at high speed, this vibration will be magnified countless times. e can imagine, paper joint of the paper web suddenly feeded into the corrugated roller mesh at high-speed production, the gap between the two corrugated roller suddenly increased by one time, the corrugated roller vibration will be huge, resulting in poor gluing. The wider the joint, the longer the vibrating time, the more poorly glued cardboard. Therefore, it is very important to achieve zero end paper (i.e., the joint overlaps the tape width and does not have a all tail).The significance of zero end paper is not only greatly reduce the corrugated roller vibration caused by the waste paper board, meanwhile the joint of the cardboard can also be used as a qualified product due to there is no paper tail. The HV350 high-speed automatic splicer, produced by Fuma Machinery. the joint is on the flute or in the middle, most cases can be used! Saving more than 70%  loss caused by splicer, in particular reducing he cardboard loss produced by the long tail of paper in the corrugated machine that can not be glued to the inside .   A paperboard production line can save up to 36,000$  a year by using the "zero-tail join" splicerLet’s set a situation: when “zero-tail paper” achieved in the second ,third, fourth layer of the board in corrugated board production line. It can be calculated that: (3 sets of splicer, 0.5$ for a piece of cardboard, 40 ~ 80 times for each splicer every day, 300 working days a year) 40 times a day: 3 splicers *0.5$ *40 times *300 days =18,000 $80 times a day: 3 splicers *0.5 $ *80 times *300 days = 36,000 $In fact, the significance of ‘zero-end’ is not only to solve the problem of direct loss for everyone, but also to help the carton factory solve the indirect loss (including labor, water and electricity, coal).

How Much Money Can be Saved by Using Splicer?

For many carton factories there is such a mistake, corrugated production equipment equipped with the best, but the splicer is not important just with simple paper , there is no need to buy the best.Is this really the case?Especially at present, the original paper price fluctuations frequently, matching your carton factory with a device that can effectively "save paper" is like having a good housekeeper at home. So you can have more confidence and strength to break out of the predicament in the face of a lack of paper, paper prices rise in the general situation.Therefore, "reduce loss" is actually the most important reference standard for customers to purchase equipment.  Small problems erode "hard-earned money" of carton factoryIn the actual production process of the carton factory, the situation is much more complex than expected, especially in our domestic market, in the brutal price competition, many cardboard manufacturers have greatly reduced the paper standard, the quality of the original paper varies:1. There are some paper rolls in the factory when the joint is not strong, or even the paper roll joint is not glued at all.2. In some paper rolls, there are more than one joint, the joint position of the paper roll is not marked, or the two sides of the paper roll have different tightness, the water distribution of the paper roll is not uniform, dampness and a series of problems.These are seemingly trivial problems, but they are slowly eating into investors' hard-earned money.As is known to all, some paper roll after being produced, because of quality control, the same paper roll has a different tightness on both left and right, or due to improper storage of paper (usually at the bottom of paper roll, one end of the contact with the ground because of be affected with damp ,and two paper roll on the surface stress, the paper roll at one end of the ground becomes larger in diameter and is often referred to as the "elephant leg.").Such paper rolls in the drying cylinder surface due to the left and right tension is not uniform, the heat of the paper in unit time is not the same, the temperature of the paper is not the same, resulting in the result is bound to be bad fitting or cardboard warped.Paper Fracture during the production costs 100-120$/ timeFor a variety of reasons in the normal production process, paper fracture often occurs For high speed corrugated board line, paper fracture is very fatal, just like the suddenly burst tire in highway driving .The waste of high-speed paper is huge, not only paper waste, but also labor costs. Industry experts have calculated that a paper fracture accident its comprehensive cost of 100-120$. Each production plant is easy to count the number of times a year paper fracture, so as to know the annual loss in paper fracture accidents.Butt roll management and controlIn addition to the problem of paper breakage, the Butt roll management and control has become one of the important factors that the carton factory considers when purchasing the paper splicer.As is known to all, the base paper after use will more or less form a all Butt roll.The all roll formed by the base paper after the site use is generally placed on the edge of the cardboard line, which is convenient for site operators to use. However, the use of all paper rolls will increase the amount of labor of the field operators, resulting in the loss of the use process and the management of the base paper warehouse chaos, increase the frequency of paper in the field, paper management chaos and other phenomena, so as to increase the production cost. The adoption of excellent splicer, can achieve 'Splicer paper core', greatly improve the use of base paper, reduce the cost Why do carton factories pay more and more attention to the  of “Zero-tail” ?Throughout the current market of splicer equipment, whether the zero-tail paper  can be achieved becomes a reference standard equipment for the carton factory to purchase.Here we will give you an analysis of why the carton factory attaches great importance to zero-tail splicer. ‘zero-tail’ is mainly through the pressure sensor on the guide roller to detect the tension of the paper, paper breaking tension is zero.As we all know, in order to ensure that the paper joint has enough fastness to resist the paper tension, tile line of the paper is overlapped, that is, two pieces of paper overlap up and down, the middle is double-sided adhesive.However, this paper connection also brings about negative effects. In actual production, the width of the joint, in addition to the overlapping part of the tape, also has a all tail left when cutting. The actual overlap part is much larger than the width of the tape. Through the corrugated roll extrusion molding into corrugated paper, paper from the two corrugated roll through, and the corrugated roll mesh is very precise, any change will cause the corrugated roll jump, especially at high speed, this jump will be magnified countless times.We can imagine, corrugated roller in high-speed production suddenly into the paper joint corrugated roller mesh, the gap between the two corrugated roller suddenly increased by one time, the corrugated roller jump can be imagined, resulting in the direct result is bad cardboard fit.The wider the joint, the longer the beating time, the more poorly fitted cardboard.Therefore, it is very important to achieve zero paper tail (i.e., the joint overlaps the tape width and does not have a all tail).The significance of zero paper tail is not only greatly reduce the corrugated roller vibration caused by the waste paper board, but also because there is no paper tail, the joint of the cardboard can also be used as a qualified product. When the joint is on the top of corrugated or in the middle, most cases can be used!Save more than 70% loss caused by the splicer, In particular, reduce the cardboard loss of long tail of paper in the corrugated machine that can not be glued.A paperboard production line can save up to 37,058 $ a year by using the "zero end" of splicer.If the board that corrugated board production line in the second, third, fourth layer of paper reflects the "zero paper tail."Therefore, it can be calculated as follows :(3  splicers, 0.5$ for each piece of cardboard, 40 to 80 times for each splicers every day, working 300 days a year) 40 times a day: 3 splicers *0.5$ *40 times *300 days =18,000 $80 times a day: 3 splicers *0.5 $ *80 times *300 days = 36,000 $In fact, the significance of ‘zero-end’ is not only to solve the problem of direct loss for everyone, but also to help the carton factory solve the indirect loss (including labor, water and electricity, coal).-- If there is Copyright Dispute, please Contact us to Delete.

How to Make Right Choice of Splicer?

As paper is the major cost of the corrugated board, so one has to place priority in paper roll inventory to be kept at optimum level in relation to production as well as paper prices and also ensure good paper quality.Naturally, splicer becomes an indispensable link to this end. In this way, what should we focus on purchasing splicer?One of the distinctive features of modern splicer is allowing shorter wet end runs.  Equipped with digital tension control system and computer terminal, auto-splicer adopts AI design which is access to high-efficiency, reliability and high speed splicing. The return of investment is very high for splicer. It reduces paper waste, zero-end splice joint, splice at paper core, reduce downtime, increase production speed and increase quality of the board.Generally, there are three basic factors that modern splicer have, which require us to know during purchase:1. Ensure 100% splicing reliability at production speed– increase production speed;2. Ensure auto paper splicing according to the requirements of production management– reduces paper waste.3. Ensure stable paper tension - improve board qualityIn addition, there are some other additional s we should know:(1). Splicing at Paper core, that is, paper roll basically can be used up to the core, so to reduce waste.(2). Zero Tail splice joint to prevent loose bonding of board Therefore, we should take into the following aspects in purchasing paper splicing:1. Paper Splicing Speed is the First PriorityPaper splicing speed can be divided into two aspect:  Above 250m/min or below 200m/min . Splicing above 250m/min require:(1). A longer paper accumulation for paper storage.(2). Double or triple dancer accumulation system(3). Higher paper tension precision control to avoid paper breakage or miss splice(4). Speed ratio between linerboard and corrugated medium should be 1:1.5, because the fluting take up factor.The splicer should be rated in accordance to the corrugator speed and thereby without slowing down or sacrificing production loss and as well as better board quality is achievable. Therefore, the speed of paper splicing has become a very important reference factor for the carton factory.2. Paper Tension range and paper tension controlDuring the production, to ensure the quality of corrugated board, the base paper output tension of paper splicing should be kept as constant as possible in the process of the operation of splicer and paper splicing. Today's splicer has the of tension sensor and control, can automatically detect and timely control the paper tension in corrugated production, so as to eliminate the paper breakage, fluting fracture and paper shrinkage.At present, in this context, the new double-head high-speed automatic splicer , adopted the latest paper splicing technology to provide accurate and reliable paper splicing through simple design.  3 . Interface with production control systemMajor factors affecting the setting of splicer include: paper grade, tensile strength, paper diameter, width and line speed. After calculating these factors and putting into the equations, it can be program to allow control the brakes of the roll stand, constantly adjust the brake setting to make it match with the changing diameter of the paper roll, keeping constant tension at various production speeds. In this way, during the production, the base paper roll can maintain appropriate tension control. Besides, by setting a certain parameter value, the PLC defines the length of the paper to reach, and counts its length and area according to the paper material, caliper and width. When it judges that the paper is used up, it splice and joint the paper at the same time, so as to realize zero paper-end connection and avoid unnecessary waste when splicing paper. A reputable reliable splicer manufacturer of delivery high specification V-generation high-speed automatic splicer is Fuma machinery. Fuma splicers incorporates zero -end splice joint, high speed splicing, 99.9% splice reliability, low paper grade splicing capabilities allows saving over 70% loss that caused by other splicer. 4 . To Learn how to control the connection of production control systemFactors affecting the setting of splicer include: paper grade, width and line speed. After solving these conditions, you can connect the paper control system for programming, set the brake of the base paper frame, and constantly adjust the brake setting to make it match with the changing diameter of the base paper reel. In this way, during the processing of each order, the base paper rack can maintain appropriate tension control. Besides, by setting a certain parameter value, the PCS defines the position of the paper to reach, and counts its length and area according to the paper material and width. When it judges that the paper is used up, it can cut off and connect paper at the same time, so as to realize zero paper-end connection and avoid unnecessary waste when connecting paper. An brand manufacturer of splicer is very good at manufacturing zero-end splicer, which a typical one is the v-generation Fuma high-speed automatic splicer produced by Fuma machinery. When the joint is corrugated or in the middle, most cases can be used. Save over 70% loss that caused by the splicer, in particular reduce the cardboard loss of long tail of paper in the corrugated machine that can not be glued. 5. To Notice the computing  of paper storage length of free roller The paper storage  of the dancer roller is to ensure the supplying of uninterrupted paper during splicing.This allows splicing at high speed with reducing production and ensure better board qualities. 6 . Reliability of paper splicing The reliability of splicing directly affects the production efficiency of corrugated board . So what are the factors that affect the success of splicer?Factors influencing the success rate of paper splicing mainly include the following two points:1. Parameter setting, such as the parameter matching between the free wheel and the tension wheel, the time of the cutting knife and the clamping plate, etc.2. The system program parameters setting of the tension control, which directly affects the tension of the base paper. --If there is Copyright Dispute about the content, please Contact us to Delete.
