| 20120104140 | METHOD, MANDREL AND DEVICE FOR THE REMOVAL OF CORELESS ROLLS OF A STRETCH FILM - A method, a mandrel and a device for removing coreless rolls of a plastic film. The mandrel comprises a tubular body having a plurality of radial holes, conformed with a chamber for distributing pressurised air, in which a piston suitable for being magnetically coupled with an external drive member slides. When a roll must be removed, pressurised air is supplied to the fore end of the mandrel, and escapes from all the holes to expand the internal turns of the roll which can be taken off without friction. As the roll advances along the mandrel, the magnetically driven piston progressively reduces the volume of the air chamber preventing at the same time the air to escape from the holes that progressively come to lie on the rear side of the mandrel, with consequent saving of compressed air. | 05-03-2012 |
