A roll (2) of dispensable sheet material (4), wherein the roll (2) has an inner bore (6), the dispensable sheet material (4) is such that it has a free end (8) which is difficult to find for manual dispensation of the dispensable sheet material (4) from the roll (2), the roll (2) comprises assist means (10) for assisting in the finding of the free end (8) of the dispensable sheet material (4), the assist means (10) comprises a device (12) which extends at least transversely over the width of the roll (2), and the device (12) is movable around the roll (2) such that the device (12) is locatable on the roll (2) at a place to receive an end portion (14) of the dispensable sheet material (4) which contains the free end (8), whereby the device (12) indicates the position of the free end (8) and thereby facilitates the manual dispensation of the dispensable sheet material (4) from the roll (2).

A handling bar for laminated or film supports, such as paper, is disclosed, including a hollow tubular body provided with an inner cavity and an outer side surface, a plurality of through holes, arranged on the tubular body to put the inner cavity in contact with the outer side surface. The handling bar also includes at least one connection to a compressed air source or a suction device, where the connection is shaped for the inflow of compressed air or to suction air into the cavity and at least one filtering element arranged inside the tubular body where at least at one portion of the holes filters the air passing between the inner cavity and the holes.

A tension-inducing shaft system includes a shaft, two shaft caps, and a biasing mechanism. A bore extends through the shaft between two ends of the shaft. The shaft caps are positioned on the two ends of the shaft. Each shaft cap includes a collar having a size that is larger than the bore, a keyed end, and an anchor. The biasing mechanism is arranged inside the bore and is coupled to the anchors of the shaft caps so that the biasing mechanism exerts inward forces on the shaft cap. The keyed ends of the shaft caps can be coupled to a housing so that the shaft caps do not rotate with respect to the housing. The shaft is configured to rotate with respect to the shaft caps such that, when the keyed ends are coupled to the housing, the shaft is capable of rotating with respect to the housing.

The disclosure relates to a film transportation plate and a film transportation system for transporting a film web through processing stations of a film packaging machine. The film transportation plate has two opposite lateral edges and, therebetween, at least one mold impression for thermoforming the film web. Retainers for the film web are arranged on the two lateral edges. The retainers are each formed by a fixed clamping surface and at least one clamping jaw, which is movable relative to the clamping surface, for pressing the film web so as to clamp it against the clamping surface. The retainers also each have at least one retaining magnet for attracting the clamping jaw against the clamping surface, and an actuating extension for lifting the clamping jaw off the clamping surface. The film transportation system also includes actuating means which act on the actuating extensions of the clamping jaws.

The invention relates to a method for winding up a film web, which is created in particular on a film production system, on at least one winding reel, wherein quality features of the winding reel (100) are determined. In order to determine quality features of the winding reel, at least the following steps are carried out: taking out measurements on the winding reel (100) and providing measurement values for the measurements; and filtering out at least one item of characteristic data from the measurement values.

A waste disposal device comprises a container having an opening at a top end, the container defining an inner cavity accessible through the opening. A bag interface at the opening is adapted to hold a bag opened at the opening of the container with a closed end of the bag extending in the inner cavity. A pair of doors is pivotally connected to the container to open and close access through the opening and adapted to close off a portion of the bag passing therebetween, the doors being pivotable from a closed position in which the doors meet to close the access through the opening, to a first pivoted position in which the doors are pivoted away from the inner cavity, and wherein One of both doors is or are pivotable to a second pivoted position toward the inner cavity. An actuation mechanism operatively connected to at least one of the doors to bias the at least one of the doors to the closed position.

A film transferring method according to an embodiment of the present invention of transferring a film adhered to a substrate to a roller in a state that a first adhesion force between the roller and the film and a second adhesion force between the film and the substrate are substantially the same includes: a transporting step of transporting the substrate and the film of which a first adhesion surface formed on one surface is adhered to the substrate in a first direction; a close contacting step of closely contacting the front end of the second adhesion surface formed on the other surface of the film that is transported with the roller rotating in the first rotation direction; and a transferring step of peeling the film from the substrate and simultaneously transferring it to the roller by peeling the front adhesion surface of the first adhesion surface from the substrate, while simultaneously transferring the front end of the second adhesion surface to the roller and continuously transporting the substrate in the first direction, wherein a first weak adhesion force that is smaller than the second adhesion force is formed between the front adhesion surface and the substrate.

A film dispenser for dispensing stretch wrap or other flexible materials. The film dispenser is comprised of paper or cardboard. The film dispenser being inserted into an extended core or having the extended core inserted into the film dispenser.

A separating device (10) for separating a tubular flat material (1) having an actual tube width (1.1), comprising at least one longitudinal separating unit (20) for removing a first edge region (2) and a second edge region (3) of the flat material (1) is provided. In addition, a separating method (100) for separating a tubular flat material and to a system (70) having a separating device (10) is provided.

A film transferring method according to an embodiment of the present invention of transferring a film adhered to a substrate to a roller in a state that a first adhesion force between the roller and the film and a second adhesion force between the film and the substrate are substantially the same includes: a transporting step of transporting the substrate and the film of which a first adhesion surface formed on one surface is adhered to the substrate in a first direction; a close contacting step of closely contacting the front end of the second adhesion surface formed on the other surface of the film that is transported with the roller rotating in the first rotation direction; and a transferring step of peeling the film from the substrate and simultaneously transferring it to the roller by peeling the front adhesion surface of the first adhesion surface from the substrate, while simultaneously transferring the front end of the second adhesion surface to the roller and continuously transporting the substrate in the first direction, wherein a first weak adhesion force that is smaller than the second adhesion force is formed between the front adhesion surface and the substrate.
