Abstract
A corrugator dry end includes a sheet saving diverter positioned immediately downstream of a rotary shear and a conventional scrap diverter. Useable sheets may be cut to selected useable lengths, diverted and stacked without damage, and without slowing the corrugator line. The useable sheet diverter includes a vacuum diverting conveyor and vacuum shingler which deliver sheets into an adjustable stacking bin.
