A single-use box containing a paper band coil. Previously known methods of feeding a paper band coil into turn-up machines are spatially inefficient and may cause significant problems in application. In contrast, this pre-loaded, single-use box is an adaptable and efficient way to feed paper band coil into a variety of turn-up machine configurations.

Manufacturing machine (9) and method for manufacturing a cylindrical electrochemical cell (2) consisting of a spiral winding of a composite material (8) comprising at least two conductor bands (4, 6) and at least two separator bands (5, 7) overlapping one another. They are provided: a plurality of winding heads (13), each of which supports a holding device (14) which is configured to grab an end of the composite material (8) and to rotate on itself around a first rotation axis (15) so as to obtain a spiral winding of the composite material (8); a drum (11) which supports the winding heads (13) and is rotatably mounted to rotate with a continuous law of motion around a second rotation axis (12) so as to move the winding heads (13) along a processing path (P2); and a feeding unit (10) configured to feed the composite material (8) to the winding heads (13). A segment of the processing path (P2) is substantially straight and each holding device (14) is configured to grab one end of the composite material (8) and hence start the spiral winding of the composite material (8) while the corresponding winding head (13) moves along the substantially straight segment of the processing path (P2).
