Abstract
A method of producing a rectangular cross-section cardboard tubing by passing a plurality of cardboard strips having a thermoplastic coating thereon through a heating unit so as to hear the plurality of strips and melt the thermoplastic coating. Thereafter, the plurality of heated strips are passed through a guiding unit so as to align the strips in an overlapped configuration. The aligned plurality of strips are wound around an elongated, rectangular cross-section, rotating core so as to place the plurality of strips in an overlapped, spiral configuration along the core and form a tubing. The tubing is fed along the core, and a cutting unit cuts the tubing into lengths.
