Abstract
An unwinding machine (10) with forming cylinders (11, 12, 13) has bearing blocks (26, 27) in which the forming cylinders (11, 12, 13) are supported. The bearing blocks (26, 27) are disposed in recesses (32) of partition walls (25, 25a) of the unwinding machine (10) and are secured by means of clamping devices (35). Furthermore, the forming cylinders (11, 12, 13) are coupled to a common drive motor (15). The unwinding machine (10) according to the invention permits a simple exchanging of the forming cylinders (11, 12, 13).
Claims4
An unwinding machine (10), having a number of forming cylinders (11, 12, 13) aligned parallel to one another for forming small-sized products from an extruded strand segment, a first drive motor (15) for rotating the forming cylinders (11, 12, 13) around their longitudinal axes and a second drive motor (38) for pivoting one of the forming cylinders (13) relative to the other forming cylinders (11, 12), characterized in that the forming cylinders (11, 12, 13) are fastened to bearing elements (26, 27), which can be fastened in an exchangeable fashion in recesses (32) of the unwinding machine (10) and in that the first drive motor (15) is coupled to the forming cylinders (11, 12, 13) by means of articulating elements (18, 19, 20).
