A method and an apparatus for horizontally splitting a mineral wool web includes a conveyor having a first direction of travel adapted for receiving and advancing a cured mineral wool web in said first direction. At least one dividing device is provided for longitudinally dividing the cured mineral wool web into at least two sub-webs as said cured mineral wool web is advanced passed said at least one dividing device. At least one lifting mechanism is provided downstream of the dividing device so that a section of the conveyor is adapted for lifting a sub-web. At least one horizontal cutting device is provided for horizontally cutting the sub-web whilst lifted in said conveyor section.

Systems for providing efficient manufacturing of paper, sheet, and/or box products of varying size and structure, often with pre-applied print (“pre-print”), are provided herein. One or more controllers can be used to aggregate orders and information to prepare one or more control plans (e.g., reel maps, reel plans, etc.) for processing a roll of web product through the manufacturing process. The control plan may include a set of instructions for operating one or more systems within the manufacturing process to form the desired finished paper-based product. In such a regard, efficient manufacturing of various paper-based products, including corrugated boxes, folded carton, labels, flexible paper, industrial bags, plates, cups, décor, and many others, can be achieved. Further, efficient customer ordering/tracking, job aggregation, print imposition, corrugator planning, and tracking and adjustments throughout the manufacturing process are contemplated.

Method for producing a packaging film strip for providing a number of individual packaging film parts for packing food or beverages, wherein the packaging film contains for each designated individual packaging film part an area having a printed two-dimensional code as unique packaging or product identifier. The process comprises the steps of providing at least one first substrate film strip (10, 25), applying on one side of said at least one first substrate film strip (10, 25) an artwork printing (20) for each individual packaging film part, depositing a DFC ink area (28) for each individual packaging film part onto the surface of the substrate film strip (10, 12) lying opposite to the artwork printing (20), slitting the packaging film to provide a series of individual packaging film parts running along the longside of the packaging film, ablating the individual DFC ink areas (28) by a computer-controlled laser beam (8) for providing a predetermined and individual code (2, 3, 30) as unique packaging or product identifier, cleaning the surface of the film strip comprising the individual codes (2, 3, 30), and checking the quality of the codes (2, 3, 30).

A longitudinal cutting device with a cutting mechanism, which is arranged between an infeed and a delivery and has rotary cutters movable transverse to the transport direction, comprises transport devices that are arranged on the knife receptacles of these rotary cutters and bridge the region of the cutting mechanism with a conveying effect.

Signage packs for retail store shelves are compiled with a continuous belt pusher system having multiple pushers that allow accumulated set signage packs to be collated and pushed to a downstream transport system that forwards them for the application of hot-melt adhesive to an edge of each pack while simultaneously eliminating printer skipped pitches.

A printing apparatus includes a feed shaft configured to feed a medium in a roll form by supporting and rotating the medium, a conveyance unit including a driving roller, a driven roller and an endless conveyance belt and configured to convey, in a conveyance direction, the medium supported by the conveyance belt by rotating the driving roller forward, a printing head configured to perform printing on the medium supported by the conveyance belt, and an ear portion winding shaft configured to wind up ear portions of the medium separated from the medium supported by the feed shaft.

The present invention relates to a device (1) for automatically cutting a material web (2) with a longitudinal cutting device (60) using a material web (2) in a longitudinal direction (L) separable in at least a partial web (3) and/or at least a remaining web (4), a discharging device (10) for automatically discharging the produced remaining web (4), a transverse cutting device (70) downstream of a longitudinal cutting device (60) for cutting the remaining web (4) transversely to the longitudinal direction (L).
