Abstract:
A process for winding of a material web, comprising:forming a first nip between a movable pressing drum and a first reel, said first reel being rotatably mounted on a secondary transport device, and said secondary transport device defining at least a main winding position;moving said material web through said first nip;winding said material web about said first reel to form a first winding roll;controlling a line force between said moveable pressing drum and said second reel by shifting said moveable pressing drum;moving said secondary transport device away from the moveable pressing drum as more of the web is wound on the first winding roll;moving said secondary transport device to open said first nip such that said material web runs freely from said pressing drum to said winding roll;rotating a second reel at a speed corresponding to a speed of movement of said material web;forming a second nip by moving said second reel via a primary transport device into contact with said pressing drum, such that said material web is interposed therebetween;cutting said material web so that a new web beginning can thereafter be wound onto said second reel;winding the new web beginning of said material web onto said second reel to form a second winding roll; andtransferring said second reel to the main winding position on said secondary transport device for continued winding.
