Abstract:
A method for storing cardboard tubes (2) in a storing unit according to the present invention comprising the following steps: providing a storage unit with an input section for the tubes (2), a storage section (AC) comprising a plurality of storing planes (13), an output section for the tubes (2), transfer means (3) for transferring the tubes (2) from the input section to the storage section, and discharge means for conveying the tubes (2) from the storing section to the output section; providing a plurality of cardboard tubes (2) in the input section (E) of said storage unit; transferring the tubes (2) from the input section of the storage unit to the storage section; storing a plurality of tubes (2) in said storage section (AC); transferring the tubes (2) from said storage section (AC) to said output section. The step of transferring the tubes (2) from said input section to said storage section involves more tubes (2) simultaneously, whereby a plurality of tubes (2) are transferred from said input section simultaneously on a plurality of storing planes (13) of the storage section (AC).
Abstract:
An automatic core-charging and bobbin-discharging group in a plastic film winding machine, positioned partially juxtaposed and partially below a winding reel includes a core charging portion having a motorized linear actuator carrying a guide-support which houses a number of cores suitable for receiving plastic film, the guide-support being movable, backwards and forwards, between a position associated with a core charger and a juxtaposed position, axially parallel to a spindle of the winding reel, with the cores inserted on the spindle, the linear actuator also being vertically liftable with a variation in an external diameter of the cores, and a bobbin discharging portion having a motorized conveyor belt, equipped with an extendable portion, movable between a position below a spindle carrying the wound bobbins and a discharging portion of the bobbins, the conveyor belt being vertically liftable with a variation in an external diameter of the bobbins.
Abstract:
A method for producing a steel tube including the step of the manufacturing a steel tube having an inner tube wall, an outer tube wall, and a free tube cross-section enclosed by the inner tube wall, wherein after the manufacturing, the steel tube includes at least one contaminant on the inner tube wall. After the manufacturing of the steel tube, the inner tube wall is cleaned by introducing liquid or solid CO2 into the free tube cross-section, and of applying the liquid or solid CO2 onto the inner tube wall to remove the contaminant therefrom.
Abstract:
A flexible mandrel is provided for holding cores or core segments so that a roll of sheet material can be wound on the core segments in a winding machine. The mandrel and core segments are coupled through elastic interference between the mandrel and the core segments so that the core segments are arranged either adjacent to each other or spaced apart. A method for producing rolls of sheet material on the novel combination of mandrel and core segments feeds cores in an apparatus, transversely cuts the cores to form portions of core or core segments, feeds a flexible mandrel into the core segments for supporting and maintaining the axial position of the core segments. Coupling is by elastic interference between the flexible mandrel and the core segments to form an assembly in which the core segments are arranged on the mandrel spaced apart or adjacent one to the other.
Abstract:
A winder for winding a web to produce a rolled product is provided. The winder includes a web transport apparatus that is used for conveying the web. Also included in one exemplary embodiment is a plurality of independent winding modules. The winding modules are independently positioned to independently engage the web as the web is conveyed by the web transport apparatus. The winding modules may be configured to wind the web to form a rolled product by center winding, surface winding, and combinations of center and surface winding. The winding modules are structurally and operationally independent of one another where if one module is disabled, another may still operate to produce the rolled product without shutting down the winder.

Abstract:
The machine comprises in combination: a winding cradle (7); an insertion member (29) to insert winding cores (A, A1) into said cradle; an ejector (39) to eject the logs formed from said cradle (7) causing them to roll on an unloading chute (41); a severing device (55, 53) to sever the web material after ejection of the log from said cradle. Disposed along the unloading chute is an aperture (43) elongated in a direction transverse to the direction in which the log is unloaded along said unloading chute. Moreover, the severing device (53, 55) includes a movable element (55) that is inserted into said aperture (43) to cause severing of the web material between the cradle and the finished log.
Abstract:
A log multiprocessing apparatus winds a web material around a winding core to form a log. Once the log is about to be completed, the web material is severed to form a tail of the log, and a pattern including at least one glue layer is applied on the tail of the log. The log then is decelerated and the tail is pressed on the log to form a final sealed log of web material.
Abstract:
The apparatus for winding at least one web (1), on a winding roll (2), comprises at least a first roll (3), a second roll (4) and a third roll (5) parallel to one another and to said winding roll (2), said apparatus having a nominal winding position in which: said web (1) passes at least between said third roll (5) and said winding roll (2), and wherein in said nominal winding position, said half-plane delimited by the axis of said third roll (5) and comprising the axis of said winding roll (2) is substaintially horizontal.
Abstract:
An object of the present invention is to provide a winding apparatus adaptable to longer films with minimum design changes in existing apparatus. A winding apparatus 10 of the present invention comprises a winding shaft 31 on which a reel member 50 capable of winding a given film at multiple stages can be mounted and which can be moved in the rotational and axial directions of the reel member 50, and a driving mechanism 40 for giving power in the rotational and axial directions to the winding shaft 31.
