Slitter-rewinder system

The method of converting a web of paper into a roll or log by slitting into individual web components and rewinding the same on corresponding individual sections of a core in a drum type winder comprising the steps of:

• severing a core into individual sections which correspond in length and in axial position to the corresponding spacing and placement of the knives of a slitter,
• transporting said sectioned core to said drum winder from a position behind a previously wound roll while, at the same time, moving said previously wound roll out of winding position,
• severing the web leading from said winder to said previously wound roll while simultaneously applying adhesive to the tail end of the web from the roll and to the lead end of the web at the winder,
• continuing to move said wound roll out of said winder after adhesive has been applied to the tail end and for tacking the tail end to the roll,
• thereafter depositing said core sections in said winder adjacent said lead end while maintaining the axial alignment of said sections, and
• applying the lead end of said web to said core sections for winding in said winder with said core sections being in alignment with the web components with the splits therebetween corresponding to the edges of said web components.
