Abstract:
1. A method for tearing paper webs off within rewinding machines, the method comprising the steps of: providing a rewinding machine including a winding roller and a web-feeding roller having a tubular jacket outer surface, said tubular jacket outer surface having a plurality of openings; providing a first core; providing a second core; providing a web having a plurality of transverse perforation lines, one perforation line and another perforation line defining a sheet, said plurality of transverse perforation lines including a selected perforation line, said selected perforation line defining a last sheet applied to said first core and a first sheet applied to said second core, said winding roller receiving said web via said web-feeding roller; providing a housing located within said web-feeding roller, said housing defining a reservoir, said reservoir being filled with compressed air; providing a plurality of solenoid valves; providing a plurality of nozzles associated with said plurality of solenoid valves, said plurality of nozzles and said plurality of solenoid valves receiving compressed air from said reservoir, said nozzles with said solenoid valves being positioned within said web-feeding roller, said openings receiving said jet of compressed air via said nozzles; applying said web to said first core via said winding roller until said first core receives a preset number of sheets, said winding roller rotating at a first speed such that said web is in a non-stretched state, said winding roller rotating at a second speed such that a portion of said web in an area of said selected perforation line is in a stretched state, said first speed being less than said second speed; producing a jet of compressed air via said plurality of nozzles, said plurality of solenoid valves and said reservoir in a direction of said selected perforation line such that said jet of compressed air separates said web at said selected perforation line when said web is in said stretched state; applying said web to said second core via said winding roller when said first core has received said preset number of sheets.
