Abstract

The invention concerns a corrugator machine with an intermediate web dispensing device for dispensing an intermediate web, a top layer dispensing device for dispensing a top layer, a printing arrangement located downstream of the top layer dispensing device for printing the top layer, a device located downstream of the intermediate web dispensing device and the printing arrangement for producing a corrugated board web laminated on one side from the intermediate web and the top layer, a lamination web dispensing device for dispensing a lamination web, and a connection device for connecting the corrugated board web laminated on one side and the lamination web with each other whilst forming an at least three-layered corrugated board web.

Claims

1. A corrugator machine for producing corrugated board, with

a) an intermediate web dispensing device (3) for dispensing an intermediate web (15),

b) a top layer dispensing device (2) for dispensing a top layer (9),

c) a printing arrangement located downstream of the top layer dispensing device (2) for printing the top layer (9),

d) a device (1) located downstream of the intermediate web dispensing device (3) and the printing arrangement for producing a corrugated board web (68) laminated on one side from the intermediate web (15) and the top layer (9),

e) a lamination web dispensing device (78) for dispensing a lamination web (84), and

f) a connection device (90) for connecting the corrugated board web (68) laminated on one side and the lamination web (84) with each other whilst forming an at least three-layered corrugated board web (94).

2. A corrugator machine according to claim 1, wherein the top layer dispensing device (2) is designed as a splice device for dispensing an endless top layer (9).

3. A corrugator machine according to claim 1, wherein the printing arrangement is arranged at least in part above the top layer dispensing device (2).

4. A corrugator machine according to claim 1, wherein the printing arrangement is arranged at least mostly above the top layer dispensing device (2).

5. A corrugator machine according to claim 1, wherein the printing arrangement extends at least in some areas above the top layer dispensing device (2).

6. A corrugator machine according to claim 1, wherein the printing arrangement comprises a printing device (27) for printing the top layer (9).

7. A corrugator machine according to claim 6, wherein the printing device (27) is designed as an inkjet printing device.

8. A corrugator machine according to claim 6, wherein the printing arrangement comprises a print drying device (32) for drying the top layer (9), located downstream of the printing device (27).

9. A corrugator machine according to claim 1, wherein a heating device (61) for pre-heating the top layer (9) is arranged between the printing arrangement and the device (1) for producing a corrugated board web (68) laminated on one side.

10. A corrugator machine according to claim 1, wherein a top layer rewinding means for rewinding the top layer (9) is arranged between the printing arrangement and the device (1) for producing a corrugated board web (68) laminated on one side.

11. A corrugator machine according to claim 1, characterised by at least one support frame (62;

62a) for supporting at least a part of the printing arrangement.

12. A corrugator machine according to claim 11, wherein the at least one support frame (62;

62a) is designed separately from a corrugator machine bridge (95) that supports a storage device (77) for storing the corrugated board web (68) laminated on one side.

13. A corrugator machine according to claim 12, wherein at least one vibration decoupling element (96) for at least partially vibration decoupling the at least one support frame (62a) from the corrugator machine bridge (95) is arranged between the at least one support frame (62a) and the corrugator machine bridge (95).

14. A corrugator machine according to claim 12, wherein at least one vibration decoupling element (96) for completely vibration decoupling the at least one support frame (62a) from the corrugator machine bridge (95) is arranged between the at least one support frame (62a) and the corrugator machine bridge (95)

15. A corrugator machine according to claim 1, wherein the printing device (27) applies water-based inkjet ink to the top layer (9) and is then equipped with a water-based varnish, wherein the varnish is applied to the top layer (9) with at least one of the group comprising a conventional coating module and an inkjet printing device.
