Abstract
High-performance packaging machines have a large consumption of packaging material. When blanks are produced in the region of the packaging machine by being severed from a material web wound as a reel, such reels have to be supplied to the packaging machine in sufficient quantity, specifically for reception by a rotatable supporting journal (16) located on the machine. For the efficient labor-saving supply of reels (12, 13, 14, 15) to the packing machine, a plurality of these are arranged on a movable supporting frame (19) in such a way that, by bringing the supporting frame (19) up to the transversely projecting supporting journal (16), the particular leading reel (12, 13, etc.) can be pushed onto the supporting journal (16). At the same time, the supporting journal (16) can be moved up and down between a receiving position and a working position. The feed of the reels (12, 13, etc.) is especially suitable for producing blanks from thin cardboard by tearing them off from the material web (10).
