A method of forming a gum roll is provided. The method includes providing a strip stock having a first end, a first surface, and a second surface opposite to the first surface. The first end of the strip stock is coupled to a core fixture so the first surface interfaces with the core fixture. The strip stock is rotated to wind the strip stock onto the core fixture such that the first surface interfaces with the second surface to form the gum roll. The method further includes cutting the strip stock to form the second end when the gum roll is wound to an outer roll diameter, the outer roll diameter being greater than a diameter of the core fixture.

A method for winding a foil onto a winding core in order to form a coil and for unwinding the foil from the winding core. The foil comprises a support material of an electrode foil and an electrode foil, which has at least one active material, or a separator foil which are used as components of a battery cell. The winding core has a perforated circumferential surface with at least one opening. A coil is also provided that has at least a winding core and a foil which is wound on the winding core.

A coreless roll of absorbent sheet products is made of a spirally wound web of absorbent substrate including at least two superposed plies of absorbent substrate, the web of absorbent substrate being wound such as to define an axial hollow passageway centrally positioned relatively to the coreless roll and extending from one edge to another edge of the coreless roll. The web of absorbent substrate further includes a stiffening insert, the stiffening insert being inserted in-between two superposed plies of absorbent substrate, the stiffening insert being positioned such as to line the axial hollow passageway, the stiffening insert having a length such that the stiffening insert extends at least around three quarter of a circumference of the passageway, preferably substantially completely around a circumference of the passageway.

A method for producing coreless roll paper includes a winding step in which paper 11 is wound on a shaft 20 in a roll shape, and an extracting step in which the shaft 20 is extracted from roll paper 12 to form a center hole 13. The shaft 20 includes a body part 22 having grooves 23, and a sleeve 30 is put on and fixed to the body part 22. In the winding step, the paper 11 is wound on the sleeve 30.

Manufacturing machine (9) and method for manufacturing a cylindrical electrochemical cell (2) consisting of a spiral winding of a composite material (8) comprising at least two conductor bands (4, 6) and at least two separator bands (5, 7) overlapping one another. They are provided: a plurality of winding heads (13), each of which supports a holding device (14) which is configured to grab an end of the composite material (8) and to rotate on itself around a first rotation axis (15) so as to obtain a spiral winding of the composite material (8); a drum (11) which supports the winding heads (13) and is rotatably mounted to rotate with a continuous law of motion around a second rotation axis (12) so as to move the winding heads (13) along a processing path (P2); and a feeding unit (10) configured to feed the composite material (8) to the winding heads (13). A segment of the processing path (P2) is substantially straight and each holding device (14) is configured to grab one end of the composite material (8) and hence start the spiral winding of the composite material (8) while the corresponding winding head (13) moves along the substantially straight segment of the processing path (P2).
