Abstract:
A method and apparatus for surface winding of a web material to form a roll is described, in which, at the end of the winding of the roll, the web material is severed to form a free tail edge and a free leading edge for the start of a subsequent roll. The completed roll is discharged directly from the winding area onto an adhesive applicator which applies an adhesive to the wound material. The free tail edge is rewound and covers the applied adhesive while the roll is discharged.
Abstract:
A peripheral re-reeling machine including a first winding roller around which a band-shaped material to be wound is guided; a second winding roller, there being defined between the first and second winding rollers a throat into which winding cores are introduced in succession; a feeder for successively introducing cores into the throat, and control apparatus for bringing about, on each insertion of a new winding core, a variation in the winding conditions for insertion of a new core. A sensor associated with the throat is provided which detects passage of a core at a predetermined point and emits a signal on the passage of the core, with cyclical operational variation in the winding conditions occurring based on the signal.
Abstract:
There is disclosed a rewinding machine for the production of logs (R) of web material (N) without central winding core. It comprises a first winder roller (11) around which the webmaterial is driven and a second winder roller (13) defining, with the first winder roller, a nip (14) through which the web material passes. A member (21) is also provided which is movable relative to the first winder roller (11) and which is cyclically moved toward the surface of said first winder roller with the web (N) between the member (21) and the roller (11) in order to pinch and thus brake the web material between said member (21) and the first winder roller (11), thereby tearing the web and causing the free edge generated by the interruption of the web material to start winding up on itself.
Abstract:
An apparatus for glueing the tail or outer end of a web of material which has been formed into a log which comprises: device (9, 13) for unwinding the tail from the log (R); applicator (45) for applying glue to the log; tail rolls (97, 99) for re-winding the tail back on the log and glueing the tail to the log; and conveyor (23, 41) for transferring said log. The applicator for applying the glue includes a dispenser device (55-63) provided with a nozzle (61) forming at least one upwardly oriented slit (63) from which the glue is dispensed by overflowing; the log (R) conveyor (23, 41) discharges the log, with the tail (L) being unwound from it, above the glue dispenser, causing it to roll over said slit (63) for the application of the glue to the log.
Abstract:
A device for gluing the tail end (LF) of a reel (L) of wound web material comprises: conveying means (5, 21) for moving the reel; unwinding means (7, 9) for unwinding the tail end of the web material; a dispenser (11) of glue (C) for applying the glue to the reel (L); and means for rewinding the tail end after the glue (C) has been applied. The unwinding means comprise a vacuum unit (51, 53) which detaches and unwinds the tail end of the web material from the reel by depression.
Abstract:
A rewinding machine for the production of logs (R) of web material (N) without a core comprises: a first winding roller (1) onto which the web material is fed; a second winding roller (3) rotating in the same direction as the first roller and forming a nip (4) therewith through which the web material passes; an actuator and element (15, 17) to move the surface of the second winding roller (3) toward the first winding roller (1); and a separator to sever the web material at the end of the winding thereof to form a log (R). Provision is also made for a surface (21, 21A) supporting the log (R2) in the process of formation and located upstream of the nip (4) between the rollers (1, 3).
Abstract:
The machine cuts a roll or log (L) of web material into a plurality of small rolls (R). It includes a unit (17) rotating about an axis (A--A) parallel to the axis of the log (L) to be cut. The unit carries a cutting blade (19) rotating about an axis (B--B) parallel to the axis (A--A) of the unit (17). A driving device (61, 63) moves the cutting tool (19) into a reciprocating forward and backward motion parallel to the axis of the log (L) to be cut. At least at the time when the blade cuts the log, the blade moves parallel to the moving log at a translation speed substantially equal to the feeding speed of the log (L), so as to allow the cutting of small rolls (R) without stopping the log (L).
Abstract:
A perforating apparatus is disclosed for rewinding machines and the like which includes a rotating roller (5), on which cutting blades (31) are disposed. A shaft (3) carries a perforating counter-blade (33) provided with indentations. An oscillating drive (57, 59, 61, 63, 65) is combined with the shaft (3) which causes the counter-blade 33 to move with reciprocating translation motion in a direction parallel to the axis of the rotating roller (5), so as to avoid a concentration of wear in the cutting blades (31).
Abstract:
A rewinder for producing rolls or logs (R) of web material (N) comprises at least a roller (5, 7, 8) rotating at a speed proportional to the feeding speed of the web material (N), members (10, 11, 13) defining a winding space for the formation of the log (R), a pusher (15) for introducing a core into the winding space, and a cutting device (10, 21, 23, 25) for cutting the web material (N) at the end of the winding of each individual log (R). The rewinder. further comprises a mechanism (41, 61) for automatically varying the phase of the motion of the cutting device (10, 21, 23, 25) with respect to the motion of the web material (N).
Abstract:
A continuous web of paper which may be longitudinally folded in half is drawn around a rotating cylinder which cuts the web into pre-determined suitable lengths. Vacuum and air pressure means temporarily hold the severed portions of the web against the cylinder, but at an appropriate moment release the leading edge of the severed portion causing it to be lifted in its leading half away from the cylinder, the trailing half being retained by suction against the cylinder. The lifted leading edge folds backward against the trailing portion along a fold line, and subsequently the folded-together leading and trailing portions are released from the cylinder, transported away from the cylinder and into a stacking tray, for subsequent packaging. The cut and folded sections of the web are, at all times, held under control by a vacuum in one or more cylinders or conveyor belts until the very last moment when they are discharged into a receiving and stacking tray.
