  • Publication number: 20220053981
    Abstract: A compressed coreless rolled product is described, including an inner surface defining a central cavity having an inner diameter and an outer surface having an outer diameter larger than the inner diameter. The outer diameter is at least five inches and a ratio of the inner diameter to the outer diameter is at least 0.35. Also described is a compressed coreless rolled product with similar inner and outer surfaces, wherein: a difference between the outer diameter and the inner diameter defining a thickness of at least 2.9 inches; and a ratio of the inner diameter to the outer diameter is at least 0.35. An associated method of producing the product is also described, including steps of: winding an absorbent sheet around a forming core member; removing the forming core member to form a coreless rolled product with a diameter ratio of at least 0.35; and compressing the product.

  • Publication number: 20210122561
    Abstract: A compressed hollow coreless roll of absorbent paper sheet produced by way of providing a roll of absorbent paper sheet by winding the sheet about a forming core member having a diameter in the range of 30 mm to 50 mm; removing the forming core member such that there is provided a hollow coreless roll of absorbent paper sheet with an axial cavity having a diameter in the range of 30 mm to 50 mm and compressing the hollow coreless roll such that, the axial cavity is substantially collapsed. The compressed hollow coreless rolls are readily re-formed into cylindrical shape. Space-saving packages of the rolls are overwrapped with tubular polymer film to provide a flexible reconfigurable package of a series of individually encased rolls. Volume reductions of about 10 to about 20%, about 14% to about 20%, 30%, 40% and more as compared with conventional products are realized.

  • Patent number: 10427901
    Abstract: Described herein are methods and systems for reducing the tail on a parent roll. The system may comprise a web tail extending from a parent roll supported by an unwind stand. The system may further comprise one or more nozzles positioned below the web tail and configured to facilitate the rewinding of the web tail about the parent roll. The web tail may be rewound about the parent roll in a direction opposite to that which the web was initially wound about the parent roll. As a result, the length of the web tail extending from the parent roll may be reduced and is less likely to lengthen as the parent roll is ejected from the unwind stand.
