Abstract
Process and apparatus for winding a material web onto a reel spool to produce a wound reel. The process includes producing the material web, online smoothing of the produced material web, guiding the smoothed material web over a reel drum and through a nip formed between the reel drum and one of the reel spool and the wound reel, maintaining contact between the reel drum and the one of the reel spool and the wound reel, and reeling file smoothed material web while transversely moving at least one of the reel drum and the one of the reel spool and the wound reel relative to a web travel direction. The apparatus includes a web production facility, an online smoothing device, a reel drum, and a reel spool. A nip is formed between the reel drum and one of the reel spool and the wound reel, and the reel drum and the one of the reel spool and the wound roll are arranged to maintain contact during a winding procedure. At least one device is arranged to move at least one of the reel drum and the one of the reel spool and the wound reel transversely to a web run direction.
