A system for winding webbed material such as paper toweling or toilet tissue upon a core is disclosed. The system comprises apparatus and processing steps. A plurality of elongated mandrels are adapted to receive cores slipped over their outer surface. Furthermore, a first conveyor having a drive device for moving mandrels in series along a drive train is provided. At least the first end of said mandrel is adapted for engaging the drive means. Further, a mandrel transfer station comprising a receiving mechanism for accepting cored mandrels is capable of winding webbed material upon the cored mandrel in a continuous process. A driving force is applied to at least the first end of said cored mandrel, thereby forming logs of webbed material. In some embodiments of the disclosure, a belt and pulley system is used to convey cored mandrels along an assembly line in a longitudinal manufacturing process.
