The invention relates to a method for winding up a web of material (4) by means of an apparatus (1) including at least: one winding-up space (2) for accommodating an at least partially wound up web of material (wound roll (3)) having a winding center (Z); means for conveying and/or manipulating the web of material prior to and/or during winding-up; including the following steps: a) operating the apparatus (1); b) monitoring the web of material (4) and/or the resulting wound roll (3) by means of at least one image capturing device (30) for obtaining at least one current state (actual state) of the web of material (4) and/or of the wound roll (3); c) comparing at least one actual state to at least one target state and corresponding to the actual state, and determining at least one deviation of the actual state from the corresponding target state; d) if the deviation exceeds/falls below at least one predetermined limit value, performing a correction of at least one operating parameter of the apparatus (1) which operating parameter is at least a contributing factor for the deviation.

A method for producing coreless roll paper includes a winding step in which paper 11 is wound on a shaft 20 in a roll shape, and an extracting step in which the shaft 20 is extracted from roll paper 12 to form a center hole 13. The shaft 20 includes a body part 22 having grooves 23, and a sleeve 30 is put on and fixed to the body part 22. In the winding step, the paper 11 is wound on the sleeve 30.

A compressed coreless rolled product is described, including an inner surface defining a central cavity having an inner diameter and an outer surface having an outer diameter larger than the inner diameter. The outer diameter is at least five inches and a ratio of the inner diameter to the outer diameter is at least 0.35. Also described is a compressed coreless rolled product with similar inner and outer surfaces, wherein: a difference between the outer diameter and the inner diameter defining a thickness of at least 2.9 inches; and a ratio of the inner diameter to the outer diameter is at least 0.35. An associated method of producing the product is also described, including steps of: winding an absorbent sheet around a forming core member; removing the forming core member to form a coreless rolled product with a diameter ratio of at least 0.35; and compressing the product.

A sheet product dispenser for dispensing sheet product from a roll of sheet product is provided. An example sheet product dispenser includes a housing defining an interior space for receiving a first roll of sheet product (170a, 170b) therein, a mandrel (150a, 150b) positioned within the interior space, and a spindle (100) positioned over at least a portion of the mandrel and configured to support the first roll of sheet product for rotation about the mandrel. The spindle comprises abase portion (102) and a nose portion (104) configured to translate relative to one another along a longitudinal axis of the mandrel (150a, 150b). At least a portion of the spindle is configured to translate relative to the mandrel from a first configuration to a second configuration to cause a remainder of the first roll of sheet product (170a, 170b) to deform and enable movement of a dispensing door (186) to enable access to a second roll of sheet product.

Disclosed is a coreless roll of a tissue paper product made of a spirally wound continuous web having a first end and second end and an outer diameter in the range of 95 to 150 mm, the web of tissue paper product being wound to define an inner hole centrally positioned relative to the coreless roll such that the first end is located on the outer side of the coreless roll and the second end is located at the inner hole, a diameter of the inner hole being 20 to 50 mm, a density of the coreless roll being 80 to 150 kg/m.sup.3, and a caliper ratio of the roll being 10% to 80%, the tissue paper product including between two and four ply-bonded plies, at least one ply being Conventional Wet Press, and at least one ply being a structured ply.

This disclosure relates to a tissue paper product including between two and four plies, including at least a first ply and a second ply, the two plies, three plies, or four plies being ply-bonded to form the tissue paper product, the first ply and the second ply being the outermost plies of the tissue paper product, a grammage of the tissue paper product being to 50 g/m2 if a total number of plies of the tissue paper product is 2, 34 to 65 g/m2 if a total number of plies of the tissue paper product is 3, and 55 to 95 g/m2 if a total number of plies of the tissue paper product is 4, the first ply being made of Conventional Wet Press (CWP) paper that has been embossed with a heated embossing roll, the second ply being a structured paper ply.

A paper rewinding machine includes a rewinding assembly operable to produce coreless retail paper rolls.

A spool-less system for deployment, recovery and manipulation of a traversable road covering track. The system includes an arcuate guide member detachably coupled to a retaining member; the guide member and retaining member defining a volume for receiving a roll of traversable road covering; the guide member arranged to contact the roll along a first arcuate range and the retaining member configured to contact the roll along a second arcuate range; and wherein the guide member and retaining member are detachably coupleable having, a first position in which, the guide member and retaining member are separated at a first diameter whereby the roll of traversable road covering may be deployed or recovered when the host machine is in motion, and a second position in which, the guide member and retaining member are separated at a second diameter in which the roll of traversable road covering is retained.

Winding apparatuses for winding sheet material and related methods are disclosed herein. The winding apparatuses can include a set of winding drive rollers. Each drive roller of the winding drive rollers can have drive wheels spaced apart along the respective drive roller with a winding zone between the winding drive rollers. The winding apparatus can also include a feed system positioned before the set of the winding drive rollers for moving sheet material along a travel path in a machine direction into the winding zone.
