    Abstract: The unwinder includes a pair of tailstocks adapted to engage and support a reel to be unwound and a peripheral unwinding device adapted to coact with a reel in the unwinding station. There is also provided a shuttle adapted to insert reels into the unwinding station, movable between a loading position of the reel on the shuttle and a position aligned with the pair of tailstocks, to transfer a reel from the shuttle to the tailstocks or vice versa. In use, the peripheral unwinding device is positioned under the reel of web material, so that the force exerted by the peripheral unwinding device on the reel being unwound has a component that is subtracted from the weight force of the reel.

    Abstract: The interfolding machine includes a first interfolding roller rotating around a first rotation axis and a second interfolding roller rotating around a second rotation axis parallel to the first rotation axis; wherein the first interfolding roller and the second interfolding roller form an interfolding nip therebetween. The interfolding machine further includes a first set of separation fingers associated with the first interfolding roller and arranged for reciprocatingly pivoting around a first pivoting axis parallel to the first rotation axis. The reciprocating pivoting movement of the first set of separation fingers is controlled by a first actuation mechanism including a first desmodromic cam. The interfolding machine also includes a second set of separation fingers associated with the second interfolding roller and arranged for reciprocatingly pivoting around a second pivoting axis parallel to the second rotation axis. The reciprocating pivoting movement of the second set of separation fingers is controlled by a second actuation mechanism including a second desmodromic.

    Abstract: The machine includes a feeding path for the logs to be cut and a cutting head arranged along the feeding path. The cutting head includes a coupling for a disc-shaped cutting blade and is designed to impart the disc-shaped cutting blade a rotary motion around the axis thereof and a cyclic movement to cut the logs into single rolls, and to allow the logs to move forward along the feeding path. The machine also includes at least a grinding unit, including at least one grinding wheel mounted onto a rotation shaft and co-acting with a side of the disc-shaped cutting blade to grind the cutting edge of the same disc-shaped cutting blade. A controlled approach system is also provided to move the grinding wheel towards the disc-shaped cutting blade.

    Abstract: A line is disclosed for producing logs of web material provided with a system for controlling, in real time, one or more parameters of the logs produced by the line and for facilitating any corrective actions. The line includes a rewinder, a feed path for the logs from the rewinder towards at least one station arranged downstream of the rewinder; and a measurement station. The measurement station includes at least a measurement device for measuring at least one parameter of logs randomly selected from the feed path and held in the measurement station, for example a device for measuring the firmness of the logs. The measurement station further includes first transferring members for transferring selected logs from the feed path to the measurement station, and second transferring members for transferring selected logs from the measurement station to the feed path.

    Abstract: The packaging machine includes a wrapping tunnel, adapted to form a tube of plastic film around a group of articles and a feed conveyor adapted to feed articles to be packaged toward the wrapping tunnel. An elevator is positioned between the feed conveyor and the wrapping tunnel, and is movable vertically from a lower position, to receive articles coming from the feed conveyor, to a higher height, to transfer articles to the wrapping tunnel. A pusher is arranged to push articles to be packaged from the elevator into the wrapping tunnel. An auxiliary conveyor is also provided between the feed conveyor and the elevator. An upender is associated with the auxiliary conveyor, adapted to be arranged selectively in an active position, to co-act with the auxiliary conveyor to upend articles coming from the feed conveyor and transfer them toward the elevator, and in a deactivated position.

    Abstract: The rewinding machine includes a first winding cradle formed between a first winding roller, a second winding roller and a third winding roller. The first winding roller and the second winding roller define a nip through which there pass the winding cores with the web material being wound around them. The rewinding machine also includes a feed path of the winding cores that pass between the first winding roller and the third winding roller. A second winding cradle is formed between the first winding roller, the second winding roller and a fourth winding roller. The rewinding machine also includes a rolling surface extending around the first winding roller and defining a feed channel of the winding cores.
