The invention pertains to the field of industrial machinery for converting paper and/or for processing strip materials, and relates to a paper mill rewinder for forming reels of paper strip material, in particular, but not exclusively, tissue paper, of conventional or structured type, non-woven, TAD (Through Air Drying), or other similar materials characterized by having a very light weight and low density, with continuous, or non-stop, reel change device. Said rewinder (1) comprises: a supporting frame (3); feed means (4) for a winding rod (A); a main forming cradle (C1) for a reel (B) around said winding rod (A), comprising a first (5) and a second (6) winding roller; means for unloading (7) said reel (B) once formed; a control unit, a secondary pre-forming cradle (C2) for said reel (B), comprising a third winder roller (8) and lateral supporting means for said reel (B); means for transferring said reel (B) from said secondary pre-forming cradle (C2) to said main forming cradle (C1), where said transfer takes place without interruption to the winding, of the strip (N) onto said rod (A).

An improved winding apparatus and system for winding strips of web materials.

An improved winding apparatus and system for winding strips of web materials.

A winding machine (10) is disclosed comprising at least one reel holder (12) mounted on a supporting frame (11) and rotatable around its own axis (13), and a plurality of reels (1-4) mounted on the holder (12) and integrally rotatable therewith so that at least one first reel (1) is in at least one operative winding position of a bobbin (5). It is further described a respective method for the in-line winding of bobbins (5) of stretch film (6), comprising the steps of rotating a core (7) on a reel (1) in an operative winding position to wind the film (6) onto the core (7), positioning a contact roll (15a) in at least one proximal contacting position in which it contacts the winding bobbin (5) for facilitating the peripheral winding of the stretch film (6) on the core (7), bringing the reel (1) from the operative winding position of the bobbin (5) to an operative unloading position of the bobbin, positioning an accompanying roll (15b) in at least one proximal contacting position in which it contacts the bobbin (5) for facilitating the peripheral winding of the stretch film (6) on the bobbin (7), transversally cutting the stretch film (6) and unloading the bobbin (5). The movement of the contact roll (15a) and the accompanying roll (15b) is carried out by means of electric actuators (18a, 18b).

A reel-up for reeling of a fiber web (W) around a reel spool (15B) to form a parent roll (20B; 20A) by use of a reeling nip (N) between a reeling cylinder (10) of the reel-up and the parent roll (20B) under reeling, has a primary reeling position and a secondary reeling position. The reel-up (10) has the reeling cylinder (10), substantially horizontal guides (14) and for each end of the reel spool (15A; 15B), loading arms (12,13; 16,17) and carriages (18) and the primary reeling position is fixed.

A winding machine (10) is disclosed comprising at least one reel holder (12) mounted on a supporting frame (11) and N rotatable around its own axis (13), and a plurality of reels (1-4) mounted on the holder (12) and integrally rotatable therewith so that at least one first reel (1) is in at least one operative winding position of a bobbin (5). It is further described a respective method for the in-line winding of bobbins (5) of stretch film (6), comprising the steps of rotating a core (7) on a reel (1) in an operative winding position to wind the film (6) onto the core (7), positioning a contact roll (15a) in at least one proximal contacting position in which it contacts the winding bobbin (5) for facilitating the peripheral winding of the stretch film (6) on the core (7), bringing the reel (1) from the operative winding position of the bobbin (5) to an operative unloading position of the bobbin, positioning an accompanying roll (15b) in at least one proximal contacting position in which it contacts the bobbin (5) for facilitating the peripheral winding of the stretch film (6) on the bobbin (7), transversally cutting the stretch film (6) and unloading the bobbin (5). The movement of the contact roll (15a) and the accompanying roll (15b) is carried out by means of electric actuators (18a, 18b).
