Abstract
A method and device for applying a load to a reel in a reel-up of a paper web in which a reel spool and the reel wound around it from the paper web are is loaded against a reeling cylinder with a predetermined loading force supported by a supporting point. The supporting point of the loading force is located in a construction movable at least in the machine direction along with the reel spool. The construction is positioned with respect to a fixed supporting point in accordance with the growth of the reel by a transfer device located between the construction and the supporting point and operating by mechanical power transmission, and/or a carriage at least partly bearing the weight of the reel is used as the construction. The supporting point of the reel is transferred at least in the machine direction by the carriage. The loading force is produced by a force device acting between the supporting point in the moving construction and the reel spool. The loading force generated by the force device is adjusted during the reeling process. With the carriage, the reel can also be completely moved away from the reel-up.
