A dispenser for adhesive tape, which is attached to a surface such as a pole, wall, etc. It is useful for providing adhesive tape to a user who wants to be sure that the surface to be touched is clean. This surface can be, for example, a supermarket trolley or anything else with which you do not want to have direct contact.

The invention uses a new system which cuts and unlocks a wrapping material (PE film) for cotton in a continuous manner in cotton harvesting, and a new method in production of such film. The film consists of many segments that make many bales of cotton. The film is separated with perforation by laser or other methods. A double sided adhesive is used to glue the bale at the end of it, which is covered by a folded bridge. The bridge connects both ends of the segments of the film. When perforated film is torn at a signal by the harvest machine, the bridge is unfolded as a leading edge for the next segment after a brief bridge linkage of both segments. The way of folding the bridge is key part of the invention, which accurately uncovers the end adhesive for the new bale and reduces the problem of tangling of the film at the time of separation.

A method, apparatus and program product may utilize packaging material quality compensation to sense changes in certain characteristics of a packaging material that can be associated with increased risks of film breaks, and automatically make certain changes in machine settings to mitigate the impact of those enhanced risks.

A dispenser includes a rotating member configured to rotate about an axis of rotation, the rotating member comprising an engaging portion and a roll-holding portion, the roll-holding portion defining an outer surface and a cylindrical inner surface, the cylindrical inner surface extending from a first end of the roll-holding portion to a second end of the roll-holding portion opposite the first end, a rib extending radially inwardly from the cylindrical inner surface, the rib defining a free radially inward edge; and a holding member located radially outwardly of the engaging portion; wherein the cylindrical inner surface of the rotating member defines a first cylindrical portion adjacent to the first end and a second cylindrical portion adjacent to the second end, the rib extending axially along a length of the first cylindrical portion, the second cylindrical portion substantially smooth and absent any ribs.

A thermoforming packaging machine that includes a film holder for receiving a lower film supply roll and one behind the other in a sequential arrangement along a production direction a pretreatment station for pretreating the lower film web, a forming station for forming troughs in the lower film web by thermoforming, an insertion line for filling the troughs with products and a sealing station for sealing the troughs with a top film. A transport device is configured to transport the lower film web along the production direction through the pretreatment station, further to the forming station, further to the insertion line and finally to the sealing station. A deflection unit arranged at least partially below the pretreatment station is configured to deflect the lower film web before reaching the pretreatment station. The pretreatment station may include a punching or slitting unit to punch or slit the lower film web.

In a zig-zag folded stack of paper web, particularly a stack of recycling paper web, wherein at least one fold of the zag folded stack of paper web is provided with a perforation-tie-row, wherein the ties of the fold coupled to folding-web-she folded above one another, wherein the fold tie in the perforation, each, comprise a maximal longitudinal direction [respective] in the longitudinal fold direction, it is provided that at least one section of a fold comprises a perforation-fold-row of at least five alternatingly arranged ties and perforations, wherein a ratio of a summed up combined longitudinal extension of the folding ties within the section in relation to a summed up combined longitudinal extension of the perforations of the same number within the folding section is larger than or equal to 0.8, preferably larger than or equal to 1.

Disclosed is a feedstock device (1) to deliver film (2) to a bundle-wrapping machine and including, on the one hand, at least one reel (3) to receive a roll (4) of the film (2) to be delivered, and, on the other hand, a joining unit (5) to attach the next film (2) to the film (2) that is currently being fed. This device includes a support (6) on which the at least one reel (3) is mounted, with the support (6) being mobile in relation to the joining unit (5) to bring the delivered film (2) to the latter. The invention also has as its object a machine and a corresponding method.

A stretch wrap applicator includes one or more cutting members arranged to engage the stretch wrap to cut it into strips as it is dispensed from the roll. The strips are then gathered and stretched into strings that are wrapped around the object. A roller is biased toward the stretch wrap roll to ensure an even flow of stretch film from the roll and more consistent tension on the film dispensed from the roll. The roller includes a groove. A cutting member is disposed to rest in the groove such that stretch film passes over and around the roller as it is dispensed from the roll and then engages the cutting member in the grove before the stretch film separates from the roller.

A roller arrangement for a web processing system, the roller arrangement comprising a roller and at least one rotational shaft having a shaft portion and an attachment portion and wherein the at least one rotational shaft is releasably connectable to the roller.

A stretch film dispenser includes a frame. The frame has a top seat and a bottom seat. The top seat and the bottom seat are jointly equipped with a film mounting unit and a film dispensing unit. The film dispensing unit includes a first roller and a second roller. The first roller and the second roller have a strip hole. The strip hole is located between the first roller and the second roller. Through the strip hole of the first roller and the second roller, the front end of a film can pass through the strip hole between the first roller and the second roller easily and quickly, and the film is pulled out along the direction of the first roller, thereby achieving the effect of easy and convenient installation of the film.
