A method and apparatus for continuously forming corrugated sheet material in which corrugations are oriented at an oblique angle to side edges of the sheet material. The apparatus includes a pair of corrugating gear rollers supported for rotation on respective first and second parallel axes, the corrugating gear rollers having meshing linear teeth parallel to the first and second axes and providing a corrugating nip. At least one of the first and second gear rollers are movable toward and away from the other of said gear rollers to position the teeth in respective conditions of corrugating and released meshing engagement at the corrugating nip. The sheet material is directed to the corrugating nip along a path at an oblique angle to the axes of the corrugating gear rollers and the corrugating gear rollers are driven to corrugate the sheet material while the teeth are alternated between conditions of corrugating and released meshing engagement at the corrugating nip. |
