Systems for processing material, taping stations to apply tape to one or more rolls of material, and methods of processing material are disclosed. A system for processing material includes a winding station and a taping station. The winding station includes a winder to wrap material around a mandrel to produce one or more rolls of material. The taping station is arranged downstream of the winding station to receive the one or more rolls of material therefrom and apply tape to the one or more rolls of material.

A method for bonding the tail of a convolutely wound log to the body is provided. The method comprises the use of a bonding material to bond the tail to the wound log. The bonding material may be applied to application sites arranged in a non-uniform pattern.

A trailing end (14) of a web in a web roll (14, 14.1) is secured to a surface of the web roll in a slitter-winder (10) by attachment articles (30) which extend over a trailing end of the web on the roll surface. Each attachment article has an adhesive surface positioned on a path of movement of the web roll, facing toward the roll, and, while the roll is moved, it is attached on the surface of the web roll. An arrangement (11) for securing a trailing end of a web to the roll in a slitter-winder (10) has a roll handling system (24) to move the rolls (14) via a path, and an adhesive article distribution system (28) positioned to attachment the article, in which the two systems co-operate so that, as the rolls are moved, the attachment article is attached on the surface of the web roll.

A method for securing a web end of a paper web on a first drum during a change of drum, the method includes passing the web end through a nip between a Pope roller and the second drum and applying adhesive to an area of the web end on a downward-rotating area of the Pope roller after the web end is passed through the nip.

A nonadhesive phase-change material application apparatus for bonding the tail of a convolutely wound log to the body is provided. The nonadhesive phase-change material application apparatus has at least one nonadhesive phase-change material applicator that defines a cavity conveying a volume of nonadhesive phase-change material from a reservoir to an application site.
