摘要

A process for manufacturing an active substance-containing product from strip tape. A broad web material roll is mounted, loosely rotatable, on a take-up mandrel. The web of material is drawn, in its entire width and without tensile stress, from the roll of material by a vacuum roll, and is separated into individual strips in the negative pressure zone of the vacuum roll by rolling a multiple circular knife roll. At the end of the negative pressure zone of the vacuum roll, each strip is drawn from the vacuum roll and is introduced in a take-up channel and continuously conveyed by negative pressure. Each strip is turned on its way to or through the channel by about 90.degree.. At the end of the channels the strips are led at least two at a time, and conveyed further in a groove for further processing to form the finished product.
