Abstract (en)

The present invention relates to a method of dispensing individual sheets and a sheet dispensing system. The sheet dispensing system (10) comprises a frame assembly (14), a reel loading station (20), a sheet dispenser station (40) and a delivery station (70) connected to the sheet dispenser station (40). The reel loading station (40) includes a supply reel (22) of a cellulose fiber based web and a support for supporting the supply reel. The sheet dispenser station includes a feeding mechanism (50) serving to receive the cellulose fiber based web from the reel loading station (20) and a cutting mechanism (60) having a reciprocating cutter assembly for cutting the cellulose fiber based web into individual sheets (28). The delivery station (70) includes a delivery table (71) connected to the sheet dispenser station (40). The reel loading station (20) or the sheet dispenser station (40) or delivery station (70) further comprises a smoothing mechanism (100) to compensate for the curvature of the cellulose fiber based web and provide non-curved individual sheets (28).
