Abstract: A reel changer is usable for supporting a reel of material that is wound on a winding sleeve. The reel holder includes a carrier journal and a plurality of driver elements. These driver elements are arranged such that they engage in a front of the winding sleeve. The number of these driver elements which can engage in the front of the winding sleeve can be varied.

Abstract: A roll of material is unloaded from a roll changer of a web-processing machine. The roll changer includes a first arm having a first axle journal and a second arm having a second axle journal. The roll of material is rotatably supported between these two spaced axle journals. The first arm is moved axially outwardly until the first end of the roll is stripped off the first axle journal. The second arm is then also moved axially outwardly until the roll of material is stripped off the second axle journal.
