A roll splitter for splitting apart rolls of paper that have been rewound onto separate cores positioned adjacent to each other on a common shaft such that adjacent edges of the rolls overlap. The roll splitter includes a vertically-extending, fixed post, a fixed base, a frame pivotably attached to the base, a pair of contact plates pivotably attached to the frame and being spaced apart from the post a distance sufficient to allow a roll of paper to be inserted therebetween and positioned on either side of the post, and a double-acting cylinder motor pivotably attached to the post and frame for pivoting the frame toward and away from the post. Two rolls having adjacent, overlapping edges are positioned between the post and the plates such that the overlapping edges are in registry with the post and are split apart as the cylinder motor urges the contact plates against the rolls, thereby urging the rolls against the post at the overlapping edges.
