Device and method for winding up a film at a packaging machine

A device for winding up a film at a packaging machine, comprising:

• a reception mandrel drivable for rotation about a rotation axis;
• and
• a reception sleeve for the film for being pushed onto the reception mandrel and positioned in a pushed-on state and a removed state, wherein the reception sleeve is formed by a plurality of segments arranged next to each other along a perimeter of the reception sleeve, wherein two or more adjacent segments of the plurality of segments are pivotably connected to each other;
• wherein the reception mandrel is formed as rigid body having one or more engagement structures that are configured to cooperate with one or more shape features of an inner perimeter of the reception sleeve when the reception sleeve has been pushed onto the reception mandrel, so that a rotation of the reception mandrel about the rotation axis causes the reception sleeve to co-rotate.
