Abstract: For reel core disposal from a reel stand (1) of a row of reel stands, a conveyor belt (21) running along said row is arranged on the removal side opposite the feed side, in a trench (20), to which conveyor belt a transfer track (16) leads from each reel stand (1). A reel core carriage (25) which can travel on said transfer track and on a track section (11) of a moving platform (10) of the reel stand (1) has a chassis (26) and, as a reel core holder, a trough (29) rotatably and tiltably mounted on said chassis. An unloading device for rotating the trough (29) through 90° into an orientation parallel with the conveyor belt (21) and back and for tilting thereof is arranged in a stationary manner at a delivery point (18) at the end of the transfer track (16).

Abstract: In a storage and handling installation for paper rolls for a printing facility, a storage structure is provided with two parallel storage racks separated by an aisle. The first storage rack provides a series of floor strips interrupted by load stations as well as shelves, each shelf being situated above one of the floor strips. Floor strips and shelves each provide a plurality of storage locations for taking up paper rolls side by side with their axes horizontally oriented transversely to the aisle. The load stations can each take up a wagon transferable to a reelstand via a straight rail section. A storage and retrieval device is movable along the aisle and comprises a vertically movable platform with a support transversely extendable into the storage locations and load stations for taking up or deposing a single paper roll.

Abstract: A vehicle (12) which can be coupled to a nondriven carriage (9a) carrying a paper reel (10) and to a further such carriage (9b) carrying a reel core basket (11) by means of electromagnetic coupling elements is movable underfloor on a loading track (4) which can be reached via a turntable (3). Said vehicle pulls the latter carriage (9b) from a storage track (8) onto a sliding platform (5), from which it is pushed to a reel stand (6), where the reel core basket (11) receives a reel core before the carriage (9b) is pushed back onto the storage track (8). Thereafter, the vehicle (12) travels to the waiting station of the carriage (9a) carrying the paper reel (10), couples, pulls it onto the sliding platform (5), uncouples and travels onto the storage track (8). After the paper reel (10) has been received by the reel stand (6), the vehicle (12) travels back onto the sliding platform (5), couples again to the carriage (9a) and pushes it back to the waiting station.
