Abstract
Method for making blanks from a fragile, flexible material cast on a supporting strip and rolled to form a composite roll of the flexible material and strip. The method includes the process of separating the supporting strip from the flexible material, winding the supporting strip on a take-up roll and cleaning the flexible material before it reaches a station for blanking cards from the flexible material. The cards blanked from material are collected on a conveyor, while a remaining skeleton of the flexible material is collected for reuse in making the flexible material.
