  • Method and arrangement in coating line for fibre-like product or products
    Patent number: 7445811
    Abstract: A method and an arrangement in a coating line for a fibre-like product or fibre-like products, in which the fibre-like product is directed from output means to a press head, by means of which a tube is formed around the fibre-like product. The fibre-like product is directed from the coating line to a feed unit in a preparatory position at the side. When the coating process of a previous product has terminated, the feed unit is shifted to the coating line and the fibre-like product is fed into the press head and is accelerated to the speed of the tube by means of the feed unit. The feed unit is detached from the fibre-like product, when measurement parameters associated with the fibre-like product and/or the tube reach the predetermined values and is shifted back to the preparatory position at the side of the coating line.
