  • Patent number: 9132565
    Abstract: Machine for cutting paper logs, including a support for supporting one or more logs (3) disposed side by side, device for advancing the logs (3) on the support, device for the transverse cutting of the logs (3) and device for blocking logs (3) during their cutting. The cutting device includes an annular band blade (4) having a bevel (400, 401) on both its edges, provided in correspondence to a cutting station (T) in which the logs (3) are cut and connected to corresponding guiding and actuating structure, the blade (4) featuring a portion (40) defining a corresponding cutting plane which is oriented orthogonally with respect to the longitudinal axes of logs (3), the blade being provided with a sharpening device (100) continuously acting on both its bevels (400,401). The machine includes structure for the relative motion of logs (3) with respect to the blade (4) along the cutting plane. The blade (4) acts on one log (3) at a time.

  • Patent number: 8381646
    Abstract: Support apparatus for embossing rolls comprising a fixed structure (1) with two sides (10), which provide multiple supports for one or more embossing rolls (2) having the respective horizontal axes between said sides (10) and being connected with corresponding motors (45) which make the rolls rotate around the respective axes at a preset angular velocity, characterized in that each of said supports is of the collar type (3) coaxial with and external to the axis of the respective embossing roll (2) and made by two elements (30, 31), one (30) being fixed and the other one (31) mobile, the mobile element (31) realizing the closing and, respectively, the opening of the collar (3) around the axis of the embossing roll (2) by means of an actuator (4; 62) controlled by a corresponding control device.
