  • Method and apparatus for separating and reclaiming trim from a lamination machine
    Patent number: 6136121
    Abstract: A device for separating layers of laminate trim includes a pair of nip rollers defining a feed path for a laminate, at least two winders and a drive system for the winders. The winders are preferably arranged on an upstream side of the nip rollers. The device can be provided at the output of a lamination machine to receive longitudinal trim portions cut from a laminate being formed by the lamination machine, so as to provide continuous delamination of trim exiting the lamination machine. In the case of a three (or multiple) layer laminate, the device can include a third winder (or additional winders) for collecting a middle layer of the laminate.
