Abstract: A device is provided in a reel-up in a paper machine in which paper is produced in a web running in the reel-up and supported by a surface winding drum and wound onto exchangeable reeling drums in contact with the surface winding drum in order to form reels of paper. The device applies an adhesive agent on the web when changing full-width reels and in the event of web ruptures in the reel-up. A screen is mounted on the stand of the reel-up, upstream of the surface winding drum, and extending transversely to the machine direction. A spray rack, supported by the screen, extends transversely to the web across its entire width and comprises a plurality of nozzles distributed uniformly across the web to spread spray jets of liquid containing said adhesive agent onto the web to form a coherent adhesive area perpendicular to the machine direction. The adhesive area is brought into contact with an empty reeling drum or an already commenced reel of paper.

Abstract: A reel-up in which paper is reeled up on reeling drums to form paper reels, said reel-up comprising two stand members each having a stand rail to support the reeling drum; a surface winding mechanism over which the web runs; and a secondary system with at least one secondary unit for receipt of a reeling drum, wherein the secondary unit comprises first and second secondary bodies which are linearly movably journalled in said stand members. According to the invention each secondary body comprises a lifting mechanism for lifting the reeling drum from the stand rail to a production level in which the reeling drum is free from the stand rails and the load of the paper reel and the reeling drum is taken up by the secondary bodies and transferred to the stand members.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for winding tissue webs into a parent roll includes a rotatable reel drum having a flexible outer shell for engaging a web of tissue paper against a reel spool. A deflection sensor is mounted adjacent to the inner surface of the outer shell for measuring the amount of deflection of the flexible outer shell caused by the paper roll. The amount of deflection is related to the pressure at the nip point and, by moving the reel spool and flexible reel drum away from each other as the diameter of the paper roll increases, the pressure can be controlled at a desired level. Accordingly, a predetermined light nip pressure can be applied to the roll as the tissue web is wound thereon and large parent rolls of high bulk tissue can be manufactured with desired properties when unwound.
