Patent ID: 8424582

Claim:
A laminating machine for producing packaging in web form, the machine comprising: a storage reel, and a web of fiber material on the storage reel, the web of fiber material on the storage reel comprising through holes, opening or slits; an extruder that extrudes a molten thermoplast; and a press roll and a counter roll, the press roll being positioned to press against the counter roll to form a press nip with the counter roll into which the web of fiber material and the molten thermoplast are brought together and pressed together, the press roll comprising: a metal core; a facing on the metal core, the facing possessing an outer surface and being comprised of at least one section; wherein the section extends over the entire circumference of the outer surface and exhibits local deformation ability in relation to an axially adjacent portion of the facing which is axially adjacent the section; and wherein the section is made up of a first elastic, polymeric material exhibiting a first damping and a first E modulus, and wherein the axially adjacent portion of the facing is made up of a second elastic, polymeric material exhibiting a second damping and a second E modulus, with the first damping and the first E modulus being lower than the second damping and the second E modulus, respectively.
