Patent ID: 8858760

Claim:
A low ignition propensity wrapping paper manufacturing machine, comprising: an applicator arranged along a web traveling path to periodically apply a combustion inhibition agent solution to a web of paper traveling along the web traveling path, by transfer, thereby forming combustion inhibition bands on the web spaced from one another along the length of the web and extending across the width of the web, and a dryer arranged along the web traveling path, downstream of said applicator, to dry the web with the combustion inhibition agent solution applied, thereby completing low ignition propensity wrapping paper, wherein said applicator includes a gravure roll for transferring the combustion inhibition agent solution to the web, the gravure roll having a large number of recesses in an outer circumferential surface thereof, spaced from one another along circumference of the gravure roll, for receiving the combustion inhibition agent solution, the recesses each having a contour corresponding to the contour of a to-be-formed combustion inhibition band, and large number of lands distributed in the recesses, respectively, and constituting parts of an outer circumferential surface of the gravure roll, wherein the recesses each being designed such that total area of the lands within the recess is smaller than area of the recess excluding the lands.
