TAPPI TIP 0304-68 (R2022) – Improved Techniques to Measure Corrugator Glue Machine Meter Gaps

This Technical Information Paper includes recommended operational and preventative maintenance procedures tomeasure the glue machine’s meter roll clearance (gap between the applicator and meter rolls) to the nearest onethousandth (0.0254 mm) of an inch. One foot long (0.3048 m) feeler gauges are utilized when making this check.

During the past thirty plus years, the corrugated industry has sought improved techniques to measure thecorrugator’s glue machine meter gap. The meter gap is the distance between the adhesive applicator and meter rolls.These techniques are applicable to plant maintenance foremen, maintenance men, corrugator foremen, and corrugatorcrew members.
