In traditional technology, the precision of laminating equipment is low, and it is difficult to realize the accurate adhesion of plastic film and corrugated board. Often there are problems such as uneven laminating, bubbles, etc., which seriously affect the appearance and quality of packaging. At the same time, the automation degree of traditional laminating equipment is not high, the operation process is complicated, and manual adjustment of parameters and monitoring of production process is required, which not only increases the labor cost, but also reduces the production efficiency. Moreover, the traditional equipment is difficult to ensure the stable conveying of corrugated board during the laminating process, and it is easy to cause the paperboard to deviate, wrinkle and other situations, which leads to the increase of waste rate and further increases the production cost. These shortcomings seriously restrict the development of corrugated board laminating process, and cannot meet the market demand for high quality packaging. Therefore, it is urgent to develop a corrugated board laminating structure that can realize high -fine laminating, and for this purpose, we propose a corrugated board high -fine laminating structure.
