Abstract:
A device for winding a material web onto a winding core to form a wound reel, the device comprising:a reeling drum, over which an approaching material web is adapted to run, being positionable against one of the winding core and the wound roll to form a winding nip; a secondary transport device adapted to displace the winding core, and the wound roll formed thereon, along a path of travel; a pressure device; an air squeezing element, wherein said secondary transport device is adapted to carry said air squeezing element and said pressure device, and wherein said pressure device is arranged to press said air squeezing element against the wound reel prior to a reel change; said air squeezing element being coupled to said secondary transport device to is move along the path of travel, with the winding core and the wound reel formed thereon, in a direction away from said reeling drum and into a reel spool changing position, a primary transport device adapted to move a new, still-empty reel spool into an initial winding position, and a lift device coupled to said air squeezing element and said pressure device and to said secondary transport device, said lift device being arranged to move said air squeezing element and said pressure device to a distance from a rotational axis of the wound reel which corresponds to a current layer thickness.
