A MULTI-LANE SYSTEM FOR WRAPPING ICE CREAM PRODUCTS AND A METHOD THEREOF
A multi-lane system for wrapping ice cream products is presented. The system comprises reel holders for receiving reels holding webs of packaging material, a wrapping machine arranged to receive the ice cream products, to receive the webs, to enclose the ice cream products in the webs and to seal the webs such that wrapped ice cream products are formed, and a web conveying arrangement arranged to individually feed the webs of packaging material from the reels to the wrapping machine. The web conveying arrangement comprises de-tensioning devices arranged to decrease tensions in the webs upstream the wrapping machine.
MEDIA COLLECTING
According to an example, a method to wind media in an output roller downstream a media advance engine comprises advancing a medium for a determined medium length, collecting a first portion of the determined medium length at a first speed by rotating the output roller in a winding direction, and collecting a second portion of the determined medium length by rotating the output roller in a winding direction at a second speed, wherein the first speed is greater than the second speed.

Method and apparatus for the production of garments
A garment production system, comprising a virtual development environment configured to receive and store in a database thereof body information relating to a user, establish measurements for the user based on the body information, display, on a display device connected to the virtual development environment, a virtual representation of the user using the established measurements, customize one or more garments for the user based on the established measurements, display, on the display device, a virtual representation of the one or more customized garments on the virtual representation of the user, receive and store in the database personalization information from the user regarding the one or more customized garments, and alter the one or more customized garments and the virtual representation thereof based on the received personalization information for manufacture thereof.
SPOOL UNLOADING DEVICE
A spool unloading device comprising: a spindle; a first bulk spool of material is mounted on the spindle, wherein the spindle is rotatably controlled to dispense the material; a series of pulleys for receiving the unspooled material such that a variable length of the material is stored within the device before exiting the device to an upstream equipment; and a drive mechanism for indexing the unspooled material exiting the spool unloading machine at a controlled rate.
UNIT AND METHOD FOR APPLYING OPENING DEVICES TO A WEB OF PACKAGING MATERIAL
A unit for applying opening devices to a web of packaging material at predetermined areas of the web arranged at a non-zero distance from one another along the web; the unit comprises a feeding group configured for feeding the web along an advancing path; at least one first tool, arranged at a first desired position along the path and configured to apply a first opening device to a corresponding first predetermined area arranged at the first desired position; and at least one second tool, arranged at a second desired position along the path and configured to apply a second opening device to a corresponding second predetermined area arranged at the second desired position; and a buffer portion arranged along the path, downstream of the second tool and upstream of the first tool, and configured to include and/or accumulate a web portion having a number of predetermined areas which is an integer multiple of the number of tools of the unit.
FLOOR DECORATION TILE MANUFACTURING SYSTEM FOR AUTOMATIC STORAGE AND SUPPLY AND AUTOMATIC AIR DUCT TYPE CONTROL OF TEMPERATURE
Disclosed is a floor decoration tile manufacturing system for automatic storage and supply and automatic air duct type control of temperature, the floor decoration tile manufacturing system including: a raw material supply unit configured to store a raw material for forming a lower sheet and a middle sheet; a lower sheet supply unit configured to form and supply the lower sheet; a middle sheet supply unit configured to supply the middle sheet bonded onto the lower sheet; a main roller configured to bond the lower sheet and the middle sheet, which have been supplied; a first sheet supply unit configured to supply a print sheet having a color or a pattern to the main roller; a second sheet supply unit configured to supply a transparent sheet, which is bonded onto the print sheet, to the main roller; and a control unit configured to control a tile manufacturing process through pressing the main roller by controlling the driving speeds of the raw material supply unit, the lower sheet supply unit, and the middle sheet supply unit and rotation of the main roller such that the print sheet and the transparent sheet which have been supplied to the upper side, to which the lower sheet and the middle sheet are bonded, are sequentially pressed, wherein the control unit controls the heating temperatures for the raw material, the lower sheet, the middle sheet, and the tile manufacturing sections.
