Device for the production of selectively configured roll assemblies of expanded aluminium mesh (17) adapted to efficiently fill fuel containers and provide suppression of ignition and combustion of the fuel contained therein, comprising a roll (1) of in expanded aluminium mesh at an inlet of the device, a mechanism (5) for providing tensioning of a mesh web (15) flowing from the inlet to the outlet of the device, a mechanism (6) for forwardly moving mesh web (15), a mechanism (7) for transversely cutting a predetermined portion of mesh web (15), a mechanism (8) that securely folds the edge of the transversely cut end of mesh web (15) and a mechanism (10) wherein a mesh roll assembly (16) is set up onto a disc (12c) that rotates to wind a predetermined number of turns of mesh web (15) around mesh roll assembly (16) and provide an end product of roll assembly of expanded aluminium mesh (17).

A conveying unit includes a rotatable roller having a first through-hole between the inside and the outside of the roller. A cylindrical member inside the roller has an opening and defines an annular chamber between the member and the roller. An insert borne by the roller inserted in the first through-hole thereof and contacting an external surface of the cylindrical member has a second through-hole in communication with the outside of the roller and extending through the first through-hole and the annular chamber. The first through-hole of the opening is configured such that, when the roller rotates, the insert transits at the opening, temporarily placing the outside of the roller in fluid communication with the annular chamber via the second through-hole, so that a sheet outside the roller and at the first through-hole is pulled against the roller by aspirating means and is conveyed.

A sheet processing apparatus includes a sheet conveyor configured to convey a sheet, a processing tool configured to perform processing to the sheet, a tool contact separation device, a tool moving device, and a tool facing device. The tool contact separation device is configured to contact and separate the processing tool to the sheet. The tool moving device is configured to move the processing tool in a direction intersecting a conveyance direction of the sheet. The tool facing device has an opposing face and is disposed at a position at which the tool facing portion faces the processing tool via the sheet. The tool facing device is configured to move to change the tool facing portion in accordance with a relative moving direction of the sheet with respect to the processing tool when the processing tool performs the processing to the sheet.

A folding machine for paper handkerchiefs is disclosed. The folding machine includes a longitudinal folding unit and a transverse folding unit, wherein the longitudinal folding unit executes a longitudinal folding procedure to a paper web to obtain a paper web with longitudinal folds, and the transverse folding unit receives the paper web with longitudinal folds from the longitudinal folding unit and cuts it into paper handkerchiefs before executing a transverse folding procedure to the paper handkerchiefs, thereby completing the folding process for paper handkerchiefs. After being folded longitudinally and transversely, the paper handkerchief is effectively reduced in size for packaging and is convenient for users to carry.

A method and a device for producing a document and a document produced in a corresponding manner are presented, said document being produced from a paper reel (1), being printed in a continuous rotary method, being divided into partial webs (4.1 to 4.4) and being assembled to form a document which is ready for use and has a plurality of sheets or pages. The thickness of individual pages or sheets of said document can be increased by the fact that a gluing machine (26) is integrated into the production process of said document, the gluing machine gluing individual page sections, individual pages or entire sheets of said document to one another. A second paper reel or second type of paper or second paper quality having a higher paper thickness or paper quality is therefore unnecessary.

A plurality of interleaved insulated foil sheets including a plurality of insulated foil sheets, each including a foil layer, an adhesive layer disposed on the foil layer, and a paper layer disposed on the foil layer; wherein a first insulated foil sheet is folded to create a first crease dividing the first insulated sheet into a first upper leaf and a first lower leaf and a second insulated foil sheet is folded to create a second crease dividing the second insulated sheet into a second upper leaf and a second lower leaf; and wherein the first upper leaf of the first insulated foil sheet is disposed between the second upper leaf and the second lower leaf of the second insulated sheet and the second lower leaf of the second insulated foil sheet is disposed between the first upper leaf and the first lower leaf of the first insulated sheet.

The invention concerns a process and a system for the digital printing of printed publications, for the flexible production, on demand, of a single publication or small series of publications. The process of the invention is an automated process for the manufacture of at least one publication printed from at least one sheet, comprising the steps wherein: a plurality of pages (1, 4, 5, 8) of the publication is printed (A) on the sheet (10) that is moved through a series of stations wherein, subsequently, the sheet (10) is folded (C) in half perpendicular to the direction of travel; the folded sheet (10) is pivoted (D) by 90 with respect to the direction of travel, and the edges (18, 19) of the folded sheet are trimmed to obtain separate, superposed leaves (16, 17).

A method and associated system for cutting and placing individual nose wires in a facemask production line include supplying a continuous wire from a supply source to a cutting station where the continuous wire is cut into individual nose wires having a defined length. The nose wires are then conveyed to a treatment station prior to being deposited onto a carrier web. At the treatment station, a surface treatment is performed on a side of the nose wires that results in an increased surface attachment of the nose wires to the carrier web.
