A method for automatically replacing reels in an unwinding assembly capable of carrying out the handling operations of the reels, as well as preparing and joining the tail of the web of the finished reel with the head of the web of the new reel in a simple, efficient way, reducing the risk of malfunctions and maintaining the correct orientation of the new web as that of the finished web.

Method for automatically replacing reels in an unwinding assembly and relative unwinding assembly

An unwinding assembly comprising first and second unwinding and handling units comprising respective robots having respective wrists movable under the control of at least one electronic control unit, wherein each of said unwinding and handling units comprises a respective unwinding device mounted on the wrist of the respective robot. The present invention also relates to an unwinding and handling unit capable of handling the reel carried by it with high freedom of movement, while maintaining small dimensions.

A prefastened, refastenable pant and methods and apparatus for preparing the same are provided. The pant comprises a chassis having a leading and trailing edge, and first and second lateral edges, wherein the chassis is folded-over along a transverse fold line orthogonal to the first and second lateral edges of the chassis. A pair of first side panels may be attached to the chassis proximal one of the leading and trailing edge of the chassis, each comprising a first fastening component. A pair of second side panels may be attached to the chassis proximal another of the leading and trailing edge of the chassis, each comprising a second fastening component. Each of the pair of first side panels is detachably secured to the chassis and the first fastening components and second fastening components are refastenably engaged between the first and second lateral edges of the chassis.

Pant-type diaper and corresponding manufacturing process and apparatus

Pre-fastened and refastenable pant-type absorbent sanitary article, comprising: a central body having two opposite side edges and including: a topsheet having an inner surface, a backsheet, and an absorbent core sandwiched between the topsheet and the backsheet, wherein the topsheet and the backsheet are welded together along a perimeter of the central body, and wherein the central body is folded along a transverse folding line (A) orthogonal to said side edges, at least two side panels extending from respective lateral edges of said central body, each of said side panels having at least one folded portion which extends inwards from the respective side edge and a fastening element of an openable and refastenable fastening device, and at least one strip of sheet material fixed on said inner surface of said topsheet.

A method and apparatus for folding and engaging side panels of a training pant are provided. The training pant comprises a leading portion, a trailing portion, a central portion, and a first pair of side panels and a second pair of side panels attached to the central portion. The central portion of the training pant is folded about a transverse axis to form a folded training pant. Portions of the first pair of side panels and second pair of side panels are engaged while the central portion of the folded training pant is received by at least one recessed seat. The at least one recessed seat is located on at least one of a first belt and a second belt of a conveyance system.

Process and equipment for folding a pant type diaper

A conveyor device () for conveying a material (M) through a treatment station () where the material (M) is subjected to a laser treatment () capable of leaving contamination residues on the conveyor (). The conveyor () outlines a closed loop trajectory passing through, after removing the treated material (M), two brushing stations () where the surface of the conveyor () is subjected to brushing with a washing station () interposed where the conveyor () is subjected to washing through the projection (, W) of washing liquid.

Conveyor device for laser treatments

A device for cutting, using laser beams (B, B), a material (A) such as a material for manufacturing sanitary products comprises a supporting formation for the material (A), such as a motor-driven belt, including a net () for supporting said material (A) in a position corresponding to the area of cutting where the laser beam (B, B) acts. Typically said net is a wire net, e.g., made of steel, bronze or a combination of the two, to which there is preferentially associated a rotary cleaning brushes () and suction and/or air jets systems.

A device for splicing the free end of a strip of web material to a homologous strip of web material being supplied includes a first moving element and a second moving element, each of which is able to function alternatively as retention structure for the free end and as guiding structure for the web. The moving elements are, at least in part, translatable with respect to one another for connecting the free end to the web, performing the operation of splicing. The first and the second moving elements are selectively orientable between a position of opening, in which the moving element has a gripping formation exposed to receive the free end, and a position of closing, in which the gripping formation faces the other moving element of the device to allow the free end to connect to the web.

A device for carrying out a 're-pitching' operation, i.e., an operation for changing the pitch between articles included in a flow of moving articles, includes one or more elements for conveying the articles, which are able to perform an orbital movement about a principal axis between a position for pick-up and a position for release of the articles. The speed of the orbital movement is selectively variable in the passage between the position for pick-up and the position for release. Members are provided for distribution of subatmospheric pressure to the conveying elements to enable them to carry out selectively an action of suction to pick up the articles. The members include a distributor, which can turn about the aforesaid principal axis. Set between the rotating distributor and each conveying element is a respective flexible pipe or hose for transferring the subatmospheric pressure to the conveying element. The flexibility of the pipe enables relative angular orientation between the distributor and the conveying element with respect to the aforesaid principal axis.

Device for varying the separation pitch between articles conveyed

A device for subjecting to laser treatment articles, in particular articles chosen between sanitary products and components of said products, comprises a laser-beam source configured for applying to the articles a laser spot with a diameter of between 50 &#x3bc;m and 2000 &#x3bc;m. Preferentially, the laser spot has a wavelength of between 9.0 &#x3bc;m and 11.0 &#x3bc;m The control unit is configured to regulate jointly the power of the laser spot, the instantaneous relative speed of the laser spot with respect to the article treated, and the instantaneous diameter of the treatment laser spot.
