  • Patent number: 11305957
    Abstract: The machine for closing the tail end of logs of web material, includes an advancing path of the logs and, along the log advancing path, a tail end unwinding, positioning and sealing station. The tail end unwinding, positioning and sealing station includes an aperture that extends downwards from an inlet under the log advancing path. At least a first Coanda effect nozzle is placed at the inlet of the aperture, to generate a flow of air adapted to draw into the aperture the tail end of a log that is in the tail end unwinding, positioning and sealing station.

  • Patent number: 11148895
    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.

  • Publication number: 20210086385
    Abstract: The cutting machine includes at least one feed path for elongated products, wherein the elongated products move forward along a direction substantially parallel to the longitudinal extension thereof. The cutting machine includes a rotating unit adapted to rotate around a rotation axis, carrying at least one first disc-shaped cutting blade and one second disc-shaped cutting blade. The rotation of the rotating unit causes an orbital movement of the first disc-shaped cutting blade and of the second disc-shaped cutting blade along trajectories intersecting the product feed path. The first disc-shaped cutting blade and the second disc-shaped cutting blade are offset from each other in a direction parallel to the product feed path. The first disc-shaped cutting blade and the second disc-shaped cutting blade are also angularly offset from each other with respect to the rotation axis of the rotating unit.

  • Patent number: 10457513
    Abstract: The rewinding machine includes a first winding cradle, formed between a first winding roller, a second winding roller and a third winding roller, and a second winding cradle formed between the first winding roller, the second winding roller and a fourth winding roller. The first winding roller and the second winding roller define a nip through which nip the winding cores, around which the web material is found, pass and the web material is fed towards a roll being formed in the second winding cradle. A severing member is furthermore provided, acting on the web material between a winding core and the nip, to sever the web material thus generating a tail edge of a completed roll and a leading edge of a new roll to be wound.

  • Patent number: 9365379
    Abstract: The machine includes a first winding roller and a concave plate extending around the first winding roller. The first winding roller and the concave plate define a feed channel of the web material. Upstream of the concave plate there is arranged a moving member including a pinching surface cooperating with the first winding roller to pinch the web material against the first winding roller. The moving member is arranged and controlled to pinch the web material against the surface of the first winding roller and decelerate the web material between the moving member and the surface of the first winding roller, causing a leading edge to wind around itself to form a winding nucleus of a log.
