Diagnosing Directional

- By Chris Polster and Bill Nikkel

When a good fiber pull is achieved at Another possible cause of more adhesive on one
one end of the finished board, but not side of the flute p could be the speed differen al
the other, the problem is called between the glue roll surface speed and the flute
direc onal fiber pull. This can occur on either the
top or bo om liner side of the combined board p speed.
but is found more o en on the bo om. Poor fiber
orienta on in the paper itself can cause the Courtesy Harper – Love
problem. So can poor adhesive transfer have
caused by a worn or dirty glue roll or incorrect Ram Kumar Sunkara
adhesive formula on.

Other causes are more complex:

Bo om Liner

If the glue roll on the double backer is traveling at
a higher speed than the web, adhesive will be
applied more to the back edge of the flute rather
than the p. This concentra on of starch at the
back of the flute p causes the finished board to
have good fiber pull when the liner is separated
from the trailing edge, but not when the liner is
pulled from the leading edge.

Glue roll overspeed problems are caused by an
incorrect se ng in the drive controls of the glue
machine, or belt slippage at the double backer.
Belt slippage is caused by a worn belt, bad
bearings in the trac on sec on, or abrasive liners.

On most corrugators, the glue machine gets its
speed signal from the drive motor for the belt. If
the belt is set to run at 700 lfm, but slippage
causes the paper to travel at only 650 lfm, the
double backer glue roll will be running faster than
the web, causing the applica on problem
outlined above.

Top Liner

Check the gap at the glue roll- corruga ng roll nip,
as improper se ng could cause more adhesive to
be placed on one side of the flute p compared to
the other.
