Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for the packaging of a paper roll.
  • the packaging of the roll is carried out by wrapping a first wrapping tape around an intermediate portion of the roll, and two further wrapping tapes around side end portions of the roll itself so as to create an intermediate cylindrical envelope and two end caps, which are in turn frontally closed by respective head disks.
  • portions of the roll, and in particular the areas near to the axial ends of the roll itself, result not being perfectly covered by the wrapping tape and, besides giving rise to problems following the lack of protection of the roll from moisture and dust, this implies problems for the quality of the wrapped product and an unacceptable appearance.
  • US 3,928,939 discloses a method for wrapping cylindrical object using a continiuos film cut at the end wrapping operation.
  • the wrapping of said first tape is preferably carried out from an intermediate portion of said roll and by progressively translating the first tape towards a longitudinal end edge of said roll; the variation of said angle being carried out during the wrapping of at least one portion of said roll, which in comprised between said intermediate portion and said longitudinal end edge.
  • the wrapping of said first tape is carried out from an intermediate portion of said roll which is substantially arranged halfway through said roll.
  • numeral 1 indicates, as a whole, an intrinsically known unit for packaging a paper roll 2 displaying a symmetry axis 3.
  • the unit 1 comprises a support and handling device 4 for supporting the roll 2 with its axis 3 in a horizontal position and rotating the roll 2 itself around its axis 3.
  • the unit 1 further comprises a feeding assembly 6 to advance a paper tape 7 for the packaging or wrapping towards the outer side surface of the roll 2.
  • the assembly 6 comprises a fixed structure 8 supporting a rectilinear guide 9, which extends parallelly to the axis 3 of the roll 2 and carries a power-operated carriage 10 which is slidingly coupled in opposite directions.
  • a turret 11 is coupled to the carriage 10, the turret 11 also being power-operated and rotatable with respect to the carriage 10 around a vertical axis 12, as well as orthogonal to the axis 12.
  • the turret 11 in turn supports a roll 13 of the packaging tape 7 arranged with an axis thereof parallel to the axis 3 and a diagrammatically shown guide 15 integrally connected to the turret 11 itself to guide the tape 7 in a rectilinear direction 16, which coincides with the axis of the guide 15 towards the side surface of the roll 2.
  • the roll 2 arranged on the support device 4 and rotated by the device 4 itself, as shown in figure 1 , is packaged by wrapping it with the tape 7 as follows: the carriage 10 and the turret 11 are initially arranged in a reference or zero position, shown in figure 1 , in which the guide axis 15 and therefore the feeding direction of the roll 7 form a null angle A with a plane P orthogonal to the axis 3 and lies on the axial center plane 3, i.e. halfway through the roll 2. At this point, the turret 11 is rotated clockwise in figure 2 until the angle A formed with the plane P ( figure 2 ) reaches a predetermined value as a function of the length of the roll 2.
  • the end of the tape 7 is connected in a known manner to a middle portion 18 of the roll 2, whereupon the roll 2 itself is rotated around its axis 3 and, at the same time, the carriage 10 is progressively translated leftwards in Figure 2 , i.e. towards the same part of the left end edge 19 of the roll 2, and the turret 11 is rotated clockwise in figure 3 .
  • the angle A is varied and, in particular, increased until it reaches a determined maximum value, as shown in figure 3 .
  • the angle A is maintained constant and the wrapping continues until an edge 7a of the tape 7 is arranged near to an end portion or axial end portion 20 of the roll 2 delimited by the edge 19.
  • the turret 11 and therefore the guide 15 are progressively rotated counterclockwise, as shown in Figure 4 , so that the maximum angle reached is progressively decreased until it reaches a minimum value when the tape 7 wraps the end portion 20.
  • the tape 7 continues to be wrapped even when the edge 7a passes beyond the end edge 19 thus creating a tubular envelope in which, as shown in figure 8 , the last wrapped segment, indicated by numeral 21 is arranged above and axially protruding from the underlying tape segment.
  • the wrapping or the spiraling of the first half of the roll 2 ends when the aforementioned tubular end envelope displays a variable length L between one hundred and twenty and two hundred and fifty millimeters, whereupon the tape 7 is cut in a known manner ( figure 5 ) and the carriage 10 is drawn back and taken in its starting position ( figure 1 ). Once such a position has been reached, the wrapping or the spiraling of the second half of the roll 2 starts by rotating the turret clockwise until the axis of the guide 15 is arranged in a position substantially specular to the position taken at the beginning of the wrapping of the first half of the roll 2.
  • the turret 11 is rotated so that the axis of the guide forms an angle B with the plane P which is substantially equivalent to the angle A when the carriage 10 was arranged in the same axial position.
  • the end of the tape 7 is advanced towards the roll 2, overlapped and glued to an initial segment of the tape 7 surrounding the middle portion 18 of the roll 2, whereupon the carriage 10 is shifted towards the right end edge 22 ( figure 6 ), and the angle B is varied by the same law, according to which the angle A is varied, until the end edge 22 is reached and a corresponding tubular envelope exactly equivalent to the envelope obtained at edge 19 is also obtained at such an edge.
  • the tape 7 is cut a second time and after having moved away the carriage 10, the aforementioned axial end envelopes are deformed towards the inside until they are taken into contact with the respective front surfaces of the roll 2, whereupon respective closing disks 25 ( figure 8 ) which complete the packaging of the roll 2 are applied on the turned-over parts of tape and on the front surfaces.
  • the end envelopes are progressively deformed in contact with the roll 2 during the forming thereof. In this manner, wrappings are obtained which are specular with respect to the plane orthogonal to the axis 3 of the roll 2 which passes through the center of the roll 2 itself.
  • the wrapping both of the first half of the roll 2 and of the second half of the roll 2 itself starts by arranging the carriage 10 always in the same middle position of the roll 2 although directing the guide 15 by an angle which is advantageously equivalent to the aforementioned maximum angle.
  • the wrapping or the spiraling of the two halves of the roll 2 is carried out for the initial segments having a constant angle and the angle is varied as previously described only near to the end portions of the roll 2.
  • the carriage 10 is not positioned in a middle position as previously described, i.e. halfway through the roll 2 itself, but instead at an intermediate portion of the roll 2 itself and, advantageously, at an end portion. From such a position, the turret 11 is rotated so that the axis of the guide 15 forms an angle equivalent to the angle A or to the aforementioned maximum wrapping angle, whereupon the carriage is shifted towards the end portion opposite to the roll 2 and the initial angle is adjusted according to one or the other of the modes described previously.
  • the roll 2 is almost totally wrapped before the tape 7 is cut and the packaging is completed with a second wrapping according to one or the other mode described previously for the wrapping of the second half of the roll 2 or, advantageously, by arranging the turret 11 so that the advancing direction forms a null angle with the plane P and carrying out a cylindrical wrapping on the uncovered part of the roll 2.
  • the manufacturing of the packaging in two halves combined with the variation of the feeding angle of the tape 7 allows a more effective sealing between the tape itself and the corresponding inner disk as each tape segment overlapped to a corresponding inner segment is arranged in a position projecting with respect to the corresponding inner segment itself so that the projecting portion may conveniently be glued to the corresponding disk ( figure 8 ).
  • a correct variation of the feeding angle especially as a function of the size of the roll subsequently allows to completely wrap the roll 2 without leaving areas of the roll 2 itself uncovered and without the formation of wrinkles such as to compromise both the following handling and the aesthetic appearance.
  • the quality of the packaging is then ensured by the fact that in the junction area of the two wrappings, the tapes are overlapped one on the other and are integrally connected with one another. This avoids at least partial detachments of at least one of the two wrappings and therefore avoids any problem in the following handling steps of the wrapped or packaged rolls.
  • the wrapping of the roll 2 could be made by varying the feeding direction of the tape 7 in a different manner from that described by way of example, for instance by maintaining the same wrapping degree or quality as the size of the roll 2 or of the used wrapping material varies.
  • the wrapping may be carried out by using two wrapping roll 2-holder carriages 10 which are distinct and independent one from the other and each supports a corresponding tape roll 2.
  • the wrapping cycle time may further be reduced by synchronizing the two carriages 10 and feeding at least part of the two tapes simultaneously.
