Continuous pressure roll winder

Abstract From the Canadian patent

A turret-type winder particularly adapted for winding of impervious sheet-type web materials such as plastics, provides self-contained and pivotally mounted pressure rolls which contact the cores and the winding roll throughout the entire winding process and throughout the indexing of the arms from a core loading station to a roll unloading station while maintaining the relative geometry of contact such that the web contacts the pressure roll at or before contacting the winding roll for effectively excluding the entrapment of air between the winding layers. A method of winding from a roll changer or other apparatus for providing a web of material includes the movement of the spindle end of …
