Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2022243948A1] A machine (1) and method for making tubular segments (2) having: feeding means (3) for feeding a continuous web (4); a forming station (5) for forming a continuous tube (6) which comprises a guide belt (50); a cutting station (7) for cutting said continuous tube (6) to obtain a succession of tubular segments (2); dragging means (8) arranged at an outlet section of the forming station (5) or downstream of the forming station (5) to drag the continuous tube (6) towards the cutting station (7). The dragging means (8) are arranged above the guide belt (50) so that the continuous tube (6) is advanced between said guide belt (50) and said dragging means (8).
