Abstract
Abstract Three paperboard webs are glued to one another with as little expenditure of energy as possible. After leaving the gluing apparatus, the finished sheets cut to size are ready for shipment. The middle paperboard web is passed through between two steel rolls which apply glue homogeneously to both sides of the web. High linear pressure is produced in the region of the generatrices of the steel rolls respectively touching the web. Such pressure is necessary in order that a highly viscous polymeric synthetic or natural adhesive, preferably with a solids content of more than 50%, can be used. No special drying facilities are needed, and the water-soluble glue allows recycling without problems.
