Abstract:
A method of producing an adhesively bonded multi-ply tissue product by:A. providing at least two reels of tissue; B. unrolling each of the reels to produce at least two moving webs, the web speed being over 1500 feet/min; C. spraying an adhesive mixture upwardly onto at least one of the moving webs from at least one nozzle array positioned in a spray location below one of the webs; D. compressing the webs together as they run through a nip formed by two nip rolls positioned at a compression point downstream of the spray location; and E. winding the bonded multi-ply tissue product onto a roll under tension using a winder which pulls the multi-ply product, exerting tension on it, the method being further characterized in that the nip rolls are forced together by a force sufficient to isolate the tension to a region between the nip and the winder.
