Abstract:
The WEB PROCESSING APPARATUSES, METHODS AND SYSTEMS provides for processing of web material, such as of tipping paper. An exemplary embodiment is an apparatus including a first roller component that manipulates a pair of tipping paper strips having a first lateral separation, where the pair of tipping paper strips traverse a first path. The apparatus further includes a second roller component that is located above the first roller component at a predefined height and has an orientation that is substantially perpendicular to the first roller component. The second roller component is configured to manipulate the pair of tipping paper strips traversing along the first path to a second path that returns the pair of tipping paper strips back to the first roller component. The pair of tipping paper strips returning to the first roller component include a second lateral separation. The apparatus comprises a drive configured to convey the web materials over the first and second set of rollers at speed between 3000-300 000mm/minute.
