  • the sealing and transporting means includes upper and lower, endless, band-shaped belts which pass along flutes, ridges or the like in the direction of travel of the belts on the inside of the sealing and transporting means between guide and drive rollers to prevent lateral travel of the upper and lower belts.
  • the sealing and transporting means can be moved to an inoperative position by swinging the belts to a vertical position.
  • the disadvantage of this known apparatus' is that only the impregnate supplying unit and the suction unit are adjustable to accommodate corrugated paperboard having varying widths when the corrugated paperboard is guided in a stationary relationship with regard to the central axis of the paperboard.
  • the sealing function of the sealing and transporting means cannot be adapted to various paperboard widths in a way that would ensure the smallest possible impairment to the performance of the suction unit.
  • an unsealed portion exists near the edge sealing means of the suction unit, resulting in a very substantial pressure decline and an infiltration of large quantities of deleterious air into the paperboard flutes.
  • the subject invention solves this problem by providing a sealing and transporting means for corrugated paperboard which is adjustable transversely to the direction of travel of the corrugated paperboard and by dis posing the sealing and transporting means independently of the width of the corrugated paperboard a minimum distance from the suction unit.
  • sealing and transporting means is adjustable transversely to the running direction of the paperboard permits one of the longitudinal edges of the sealing and transporting means to be disposed within a minimum distance to the suction unit. Consequently, the paperboard is sealed immediately adjacent the suction unit. Even though the highest suction pressure is maintained in this region no outside air can infiltrate. That part of the corrugated paperboard which exceeds the width of the sealing and transporting means, adjacent the impregnate supplying unit, will remain unsealed in a more or less small area. However, an essentially lower vacuum pressure is prevalent in this area, and therefore an essentially smaller quantity of outside air is drawn in.
  • the sealing and transporting means includes upper and lower endless bandshaped belts which are jointly adjustable by a lateral displacing means. This results in a simplification of the adjustment for the sealing and transporting means.
  • the sealing and transporting means is rotatable about a vertical, laterally displaceable axis in order to be able 3 to more efficiently horizontally advance the corrugated paperboard which is to be impregnated and to minimize the effect of the deflection forces, as for instance, deflection force resulting from the suction unit.
