MÉTODO PARA CONVERSÃO DE UM PRODUTO DE PAPEL DE MÚLTIPLAS CAMADAS

摘要

A process for manufacturing a multi-ply paper product, the having the steps of: providing a first paper web; providing a second paper web; and providing a converting apparatus. The converting apparatus has a first pressure roll; an embossing roll; a second pressure roll; and a marrying roll. The embossing roll has a plurality of embossing protrusions wherein each embossing protrusion has a distal end. The first pressure roll and the embossing roll are juxtaposed in an axially parallel relationship to form a first nip therebetween. The first nip has a first nip width. The first pressure roll and embossing roll are adapted to receive the first paper web at the first nip. The second pressure roll and the embossing roll are juxtaposed in an axially parallel relationship to form a second nip therebetween. The second nip has a second nip width. The second pressure roll and embossing roll are adapted to receive the first paper web, after the first paper web has traversed the first nip, and the second paper web at the second nip. The marrying roll is juxtaposed in an axially parallel relationship with the embossing roll to form a third nip therebetween. The marrying roll and embossing roll are adapted to receive the first paper web and the second paper web, after the first paper web and the second paper web have traversed the second nip, and provide a marrying load of greater than about 100 pli after the first paper web has traversed the first nip, and marry the first paper web to the second paper web. The process includes the steps of: forwarding the first paper web through the first nip such that portions of the first paper web are embossed at the first nip to provide an embossed first paper web; forwarding the embossed first paper web and the second paper web through the second nip such that that the embossed portions of the first paper web are further embossed and portions of the second paper web are embossed and are registered with the embossed portions of the first paper web to provide a double-embossed first paper web and a embossed second paper web; and forwarding the double-embossed first paper web and the embossed second paper web through the third nip whereby the embossed portions of the first paper web and the embossed portions of the second paper web are married to provide an embossed multi-ply paper product.
