Patent ID: 11390483

Abstract:
A log roll can be efficiently manufactured in a log roll manufacturing apparatus. When yet-to-be-wound base paper constituted of stacked sheets of first base paper and second base paper fed from first and second parent rolls is supplied to a main processing-winding unit, if a winder capable of manufacturing a two-ply log roll and including a sub processing-winding unit is to manufacture a one-ply log roll by using the main processing-winding unit, the yet-to-be-wound base paper constituted of the stacked sheets of the first base paper and the second base paper is separated into first separated yet-to-be-wound base paper and second separated yet-to-be-wound base paper by a base-paper separating unit. Then, one-ply log rolls are simultaneously manufactured by using the main processing-winding unit supplied with the first separated yet-to-be-wound base paper and the sub processing-winding unit supplied with the second separated yet-to-be-wound base paper.
