Abstract
An apparatus and method are disclosed for reeling a web, for instance a web of paper, on a winding shaft over which core tubes are fitted. A lifting device engages the completed roll only at the periphery thereof and lifts it to an extraction position, where an extraction device extracts the winding shaft. The same lifting device moves a new core tube to the extraction station, where the winding shaft is inserted in the core tube. The combination of winding shaft and the new core tube is then lifted, either by the same lifting device or by a separate lifting mechanism, to a return roller path along which the shaft rolls, and at the end of which the shaft is received by an additional lifting device. The additional lifting device lowers the shaft, delivering it to the jaws of a pivotable reel swing member, which pivots to bring the winding shaft with the new core tube into the position at the application station for winding a new roll therein. The entire cycle can thus be performed quickly with a simple machine, without the use of external hoists, etc.
