Abstract:
A method and apparatus for preparing a plurality of coated binder units are disclosed. A coated binder is divided into a plurality of coated binder units by applying a pair of dividing elements to the coated binder and applying a welding element.

Claim (Index 1):
An apparatus for preparing a plurality of coated binder units wherein each of the coated binder units comprises a core of a binder coated with a layer of coating material, comprising:\n a pair of dividing elements having a closed configuration and an open configuration, which may be applied to the coated binder and moved from the closed configuration to the open configuration, thereby removing the binder from a region of the coated binder such that two layers of coating material are adjacent to one another; and a welding element which may be applied to the region of the coated binder wherein the binder has been removed by the pair of dividing elements and the two layers of coating material are adjacent to one another, thereby welding and cutting the two layers of coating material.
