Winding group and method for winding paper around a core to make a log

Abstract

A winding group for winding paper around a core to make a log which has in an upstream position, means for supplying glue onto the core, means for transporting and inserting the core provided with glue in a channel defined at the top by an upper winding roller, supplied from above with the paper directed towards the channel, and at the bottom by a cradle member associated downstream with a lower winding roller, the winding group comprising a third oscillating roller arranged above the lower winding roller, the three rollers having axes parallel to one another and perpendicular to the forward movement of the paper and cooperating with one another downstream of the channel to wind the paper around the core to obtain the log, further being provided cyclic means for tearing the paper moving forward on the upper winding roller, in which the means for supplying glue onto the core comprise means for depositing a plurality of circle arcs of glue on at least one outer portion of the core.
