  • the preferred location of theimpregnating equipment in an existing corrugator system is the rather limited space between the order cut-off shear (which is operated only periodically at the end of a given order run) and the Triplex means for longitudinally scoring and slitting the board. Since the space between these two units is normally rather limited (on the order of 10 to 12 feet, for example), another critical design limitation is imposed on the impregnating equipment which, together with the high linear velocity of the board, further impairs the impregnation process.
  • the primary object of the present invention is to provide improved apparatus for impregnating corrugated board as it is actually being manufactured on conventional corrugator apparatus, including an impregnating station of minimum length adapted for insertion subsequent to the heating and cooling stations of the corrugator, and preferably between the order cut-off shear means and the Triplex scoring and slitting means.
