Coreless surface winder and method

摘要

A coreless surface winder and method wherein two of the winding drums (22,24) are slightly spaced apart by a distance less than two web thicknesses which then operate to cause a folded leading edge (E) on a transversely severed web to roll upon itself and develop an incipient log (IL) which thereafter is completed in a conventional three drum cradle to provide a coreless retail sized roll (L). $$
