Investigation on the Effects of humidity and heat of combined papers on quality of CorrugatedBoard

Abstract

In this investigation , effects of different humidity and heat on quality of Corrugated board , was studied , and optimum treatment indicated Variables in this Paper was : Corrugator speed (50,100,150m/min) ,wraping angle of the paper around preheaters (90,180,300 degree) and moisture of paper (6.5%,7%,8.5%). Papers that treated for this purpose was included : 125gsm kraft liner ,127 gsm medium paper and 140gsm test liner paper. A flut type of 3ply Corugated board was selected for this study.Moisture of paper was measured in 3 places : Paper on roll stand before single facer , paper after singlefacer preheater and paper before incoming doublefacer in hot plate unit. Also temprature was measured in corrugator rolls ,hot Plates in double facer and final Board after Exiting of the Machine. Results show that , warp of final board decreased in speed 50 and 100m/min ,moisture 7% and 1800 wraping angle of the paper around preheater. That means lower speeds and higher wraping angles cause to more heat on corrugated board and decreasing in warp content resulted.It should be noted that lower humidity more than 7% and increase wraping angle more than 180 degree cause to over drying and intensive moisture decrease in final board that cause to reverse warp in final board.
