An apparatus and method for sealing a loose tail of wound material against a log using an infeed and log reject station, a tail separator station and a tail ironing and log discharge station. The apparatus and method receives a log on a pair of rider rolls and directs one or more air jets against the log to cause the tail to extend away from the log and captures the tail on a vacuum table as controlled by an optical sensor monitoring the table. The log then progresses to a glue table where a stripe of glue is applied through an aperture in the table by a glue transfer bar rotating out from being submerged in a glue reservoir. The log is then received between three ironing rolls which compress the tail against the log and discharge the log from the ironing rolls by moving an ejector arm from a rest position between two of the ironing rolls towards the third ironing roll to an ejecting position intermediate all three ironing rolls. |
