Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus for wrapping a rod-shaped article and for providing a material web for the tobacco processing industry, comprising a material web provision device providing a material web comprising a first feed roller pair and a second feed roller pair for conveying the material web along a conveying path. To guarantee the wrapping process even when using thick wrapping papers or hydrophobic papers, the material provision device comprises a first restoring force reduction unit, wherein the first restoring force reduction unit is located downstream of the first feed roller pair along the conveying path and is located upstream of the second feed roller pair along the conveying path.

Abstract: A method for producing energy cells in stack form having a plurality of separator sheets and a plurality of electrodes arranged between the separator sheets, wherein the plurality of electrodes are alternately arranged anodes and cathodes. At least one electrode is fixed to at least one of the separator sheets by an adhesive bond. The adhesive composition for the at least one adhesive bond is applied by gravure printing, to provide particularly exact adhesive bonding.
