An unwind station for a packaging machine may be configured to form wrappers having different sizes from a web of packaging material and supply the wrapper to a wrapping station. The unwind station may include a base configured to support the web of packaging material and a carriage configured to selectively slide in a longitudinal direction on the base. A rotating blade can be configured to periodically score the web to form a break line extending between lateral sides of the web. A first conveyor arm and a second conveyor arm may project longitudinally outward from the carriage. The first conveyor arm and the second conveyor arm can each include a low-speed conveyor configured to transport the web to a high-speed conveyor. The high-speed conveyor is configured to separate the wrapper from the web as the break line passes a shear point between the low-speed conveyors and the high-speed conveyors.

DEVICE FOR HEAT-WELDING SUPERPOSED FLAPS OF A WRAPPING ENVELOPING A SET OF ARTICLES
The device (1) is associated, in line, to an outlet of a packing machine and is designed to seal superposed flaps (Ls, Li) of packs (C), at longitudinal vertical sides (V) thereof. The device comprises means (2) for receiving and moving the packs (C) and two batteries (3, 4) of heat-welding rollers (30, 40), having a vertical axis, destined to act on respective longitudinal vertical sides (V) in order to heat the flaps (Ls, Li) up to a temperature which is sufficient to cause joining by aggregation of the packing material. Cooling means (5) are provided downstream of the batteries (3, 4) which are destined to act on the flaps (Ls, Li) in order to lower the temperature thereof and thus stabilise the join.
