METHOD FOR EXTRACTING A CORE FROM A REEL, MACHINE AND EXTRACTION STATION TO CARRY OUT SUCH METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240025686 titled 'METHOD FOR EXTRACTING A CORE FROM A REEL, MACHINE AND EXTRACTION STATION TO CARRY OUT SUCH METHOD

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a method and machine for extracting a core from a reel of paper. The method involves using an extraction element with an expandable element that can enter the cavity of the core. The expandable element is expanded to engage the inner wall of the core, and then the extraction element is pulled in the opposite direction to extract the core from the reel. The expandable element is then returned to its non-expanded form and extracted from the core.

  • The method involves providing an extraction element with an expandable element that can enter the cavity of the core.
  • The expandable element is inserted into the cavity of the core on which a roll of paper is wound.
  • The expandable element is expanded until it engages the inner wall of the core.
  • The extraction element is pulled in the opposite direction to extract the core from the reel.
  • The expandable element is returned to its non-expanded form and extracted from the core.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Paper manufacturing and processing industries.
  • Packaging industries.
  • Printing industries.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Efficient extraction of paper cores from reels.
  • Reduction of manual labor and time required for core extraction.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Increased productivity and efficiency in paper processing.
  • Cost savings due to reduced labor and time requirements.
  • Improved safety by minimizing manual handling of heavy paper reels.


Original Abstract Submitted

a method for extracting a core () from a reel () of paper is described, where the reel () has been wound in a winding station upstream of an extraction station () of the core (); the method comprises the steps of providing an extraction element () having an expandable element (), shaped to enter, when in the non-expanded form, within a cavity () defined by the inner wall () of the core () of the reel (), the core () extends according to a central axis (x) which is substantially horizontal when the reel () is positioned for extraction; inserting the expandable element () of the extraction element () in the cavity () of the core () on which a roll of paper () is wound; expanding the expandable element () until it engages the inner wall () of the core (); pulling the extraction element () in the opposite direction to that of insertion, to extract the core () from the reel (); bring the expandable element () back to the non-expanded form; extracting the expandable element () from the core (). a machine () for extracting a core () from a reel () of paper by means of such method and an extraction station () for extracting a core () from a reel () of paper comprising such machine () are further described.
