- Rotation of the profiled roller 71 and anvil roller 72 is synchronised.
- the rotational speed of the profiled roller 71 and anvil roller 72 corresponds to the throughput speed of the web 11 of tipping paper 4.
- the rollers 71, 72 act on either side of the web 11.
- the part of the web 11 received between the raised protrusions on the profiled roller 71 and the cylindrical outer surface 75 of the anvil roller 72 is compressed. That is, the material is crushed therebetween.
- the material on which the cutting action is performed is crushed by at least 80% of the thickness of the web 11 of tipping paper 4.
- the crushing action causes the material to burst along the line of material acted on by the profiled roller 71, and so forms a line of separation. With this action, it is possible to perform a separation action that does not require piercing of the web 11 of tipping paper 4.
