Abstract
The present invention relates to an apparatus and a method for folding and winding a predetermined length of non-woven fabric used for the industrial production of moistened wipes. The apparatus for folding and winding a predetermined length of non-woven fabric from a roll wound on a core is mounted on a countertop, equipped with a housing, provided with a drive unit. Mounted on a hub (1) is a cylinder (2), to which eccentrically attached are rods (3) from which at a certain distance is mounted a linear feed (4). The hub assembly (1) with the cylinder (2) with the rods (3) and the linear feed (4) can be mounted vertically or horizontally.
Claims3
An apparatus that is mounted on a countertop, equipped with a housing, and provided with a drive unit, wherein the apparatus comprises:
- a hub;
- a cylinder mounted on the hub;
- rods eccentrically attached to the cylinder, wherein the rods are retractable toward the cylinder;
- a knife;
- and
- a linear feed mounted at a distance from the hub, the cylinder and the rods,
- wherein the apparatus folds and winds a non-woven fabric from a roll wound on a core,
- wherein the cylinder folds the non-woven fabric by a rotational movement, and then the knife cuts the folded non-woven fabric into a predetermined length, and
- wherein the hub, the cylinder and the rods are movable toward the linear feed and back in a direction perpendicular to a rotation axis of the cylinder.
