A winder for winding continuous webs or interleaved web segments into rolls is disclosed. The winder comprises first and second rollers, each having a generally mutually parallel longitudinal axis. The winder also has a continuous belt. The continuous web is disposed upon at least a portion of the continuous belt. A rotatably driven winding spindle is adapted to receive the continuous web or interleaved web segments when the spindle is proximate to the continuous web or interleaved web segments disposed upon the continuous belt.
