A roller system comprises a horizontal conveyor belt, set on the upper part of a main support structure, which receives laminated products and conveys them in a first direction at a first velocity towards a start roller belt; said start roller belt which is perpendicular to the horizontal conveyor belt, is set over a second mobile support structure, to begin the rolling of the laminated products at a second velocity and in a second direction, said start roller belt transports the laminated products with the rolling having started towards a rolling belt; the rolling belt on an inclined plane under the horizontal conveyor belt. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A roller system for laminated products, comprising a horizontal conveyor belt, set on an upper part of a main support structures for receiving and conveying laminated products, a first roller belt which is set over a second mobile support structure and perpendicular to the horizontal conveyor belt for receiving laminated products from the horizontal conveyor belt and partially rolling them, a second roller belt set on a third mobile support structure in an inclined plane under the horizontal conveyor for receiving partially rolled laminated products from the first roller belt and further rolling them, and a horizontal unloading belt, set on a lower part of the main support structure for unloading rolled products from the second roller belt. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The roller system of claim 1, further comprising a feed belt for transporting laminated products towards the conveyor belt. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The roller system of claim 2, wherein the feed belt has entrance and exit ends, and is trained about a plurality of tracking rollers, tensioned by a tensioning roller, and driven by a driver roller. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The roller system of claim 3, wherein the tensioning roller and the driver roller are set on an additional support structure, while the tracking rollers are distributed between the additional support structure and the main support structure. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The roller system of claim 4, wherein the tensioning roller is vertically displaced in a groove in a lateral wall of the additional support structure. ### Claim 6 (depends on 2) The roller system of claim 2, wherein the feed belt is set on an additional support structure which is pivotally connected to the main support structure near one end of the feed belt and can be tilted relative to the main support structure. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The roller system of claim 1, wherein the conveyor belt has an exit end opposite to an entrance end, and is trained about a plurality of tracking rollers, tensioned by a tensioning roller and driven by a driver roller. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The roller system of claim 7, wherein the tensioning roller is angularly displaced to tension the conveyor belt. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The roller system of claim 8, further comprising a servomotor for displacing the tensioning roller. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The roller system of claim 1, wherein the first roller belt is trained about at least two tracking rollers and driven by a drive roller. ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) The roller system of claim 10, wherein the second mobile support structure is supported on a longitudinal guide rail set over the main support structure for longitudinally moving the first roller belt in relation to the conveyor belt to set the distance between the first roller belt and the conveyor belt. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The roller system of claim 11, wherein the first roller belt travels at a different velocity and in a different direction than the conveyor belt. ### Claim 13 (depends on 11) The roller system of claim 11, wherein the first roller belt travels at the same velocity as the conveyor belt. ### Claim 14 (depends on 11) The roller system of claim 11, wherein the first roller belt travels at a different velocity than the conveyor belt. ### Claim 15 (depends on 11) The roller system of claim 11, wherein the first roller belt travels in a different direction than the conveyor belt. ### Claim 16 (depends on 11) The roller system of claim 11, further comprising a servomotor for moving the first roller belt in relation to the conveyor belt. ### Claim 17 (depends on 1) The roller system of claim 1, wherein the second roller belt has entrance and exit ends, is trained about a plurality of tracking rollers, and is tensioned and driven by a tensioning-drive roller. ### Claim 18 (depends on 17) The roller system of claim 17, wherein the entrance end of the second roller belt is higher than the exit end, below the conveyor belt, and in proximity to the first roller belt. ### Claim 19 (depends on 18) The roller system of claim 18, wherein the third mobile support structure is mounted on a vertical guide rail on the second mobile support structure, in such a way that the second roller belt moves vertically in relation to the first roller belt. ### Claim 20 (depends on 19) The roller system of claim 19, further comprising a servomotor for moving the second roller belt. ### Claim 21 (depends on 19) The roller system of claim 19, wherein the third mobile support structure is connected to the second support structure, in such a way that the second roller belt can be moved longitudinally as well as vertically. ### Claim 22 (depends on 1) The roller system of claim 1, wherein the unloading belt has entrance and exit ends, is trained about a plurality of tracking rollers, and is tensioned and driven by a tensioning-drive roller.
