Methods and apparatus for a turn-up procedure using an adhesive paperband composite

A method of transferring a paper web from a full web spool to an empty web spool, the method comprising the steps of:

• winding a paperband composite comprising a first side and a second side onto a spool face of the empty web spool, the paperband composite comprising a spool face adhesive on the first side of the paperband composite and a paperweb adhesive on the second side of the paperband composite;
• fixedly attaching the paperband composite to the spool face of the empty web spool with the spool face adhesive;
• rotating the empty web spool and the paperband composite at a rotational speed approximate to a rotational speed of a surface of a first volume of paperweb being wound on the full web spool;
• contacting the surface of the first volume of paperweb with the paperweb adhesive;
• adhesively binding the first volume of paperweb to the empty web spool with the paperweb adhesive;
• and
• performing a turn-up process causing a second volume of paper web to spool on the empty web spool.
