Abstract
The invention relates to an apparatus for a single-track or multitrack provision of web-like interleaved sheet material at a cutting region in which products supplied on one track or on multiple tracks are cut into slices and interleaved sheets are introduced which are cut off from the provided interleaved sheet material in the cutting region, comprising devices for transporting at least one material web from a material store to the cutting region, wherein a connection device is provided which is integrated into the apparatus and which is configured to connect consecutive material webs to one another on the path between the material store and the cutting region.
Claims12
An apparatus for a single-track or multitrack provision of material webs of web-like interleaved sheet material in which products supplied on one track or on multiple tracks are cut at a cutting region into slices which are brought into contact with interleaved sheets cut off from the provided web-like interleaved sheet material in the cutting region, comprising:
- devices for transporting the material web from a material store to the cutting region, and
- a connection device including a contact surface configured to connect consecutive material webs to one another between the material store and the cutting region, the contact surface being an air permeable contact surface to which the consecutive material webs are held or fixed by a vacuum imparted by at least one vacuum chamber connected to a suction device.
A method for transporting and connecting consecutive material webs of web-like interleaved sheet material along a single-track or multitrack apparatus having a cutting region in which products supplied on one track or on multiple tracks are cut into slices and interleaved sheets are introduced which are cut off from the provided interleaved sheet material in the cutting region, in which the material webs are transported from a material store along a contact surface to the cutting region, comprising:
- providing the contact surface as an air permeable surface and holding or fixing the consecutive material webs to the contact surface by a vacuum imparted by at least one vacuum chamber connected to a suction device.
An apparatus for the single-track or multitrack provision of web-like interleaved sheet material in which products supplied on one track or on multiple tracks are cut into slices at a cutting station and interleaved sheets are introduced which are cut off from the provided interleaved sheet material at the cutting station;
- comprising, a material store which comprises at least one rotatably supported material roll of the interleaved sheet material;
- and an air permeable contact surface for holding or fixing the interleaved sheet material to the air permeable contact surface by a vacuum imparted by at least one vacuum chamber connected to a suction device.
A method for transporting a material web along a single-track or multitrack apparatus from which interleaved sheets are cut off along with slices of a product in a cutting region, in which the material web is transported from a material store to the cutting region, comprising, holding or fixing the material web to an air permeable contact surface between the material store and the cutting region by a vacuum imparted by at least one vacuum chamber connected to a suction device.
