Apparatus for the manual or machine-made production of a tube-like packaging material and packing station

An apparatus for manual or automatic production of a tube-like packaging material from a paper strip wound up to a roll, the paper strip defining a roll longitudinal axis and forming an inner hollow space, from which the paper strip is drawable for forming the packaging material, the apparatus comprising:

• a guiding chute including:
• an opening configured to eject the packaging material from one or more rolls arranged in an ejection position,
• an inner contour narrowing in an ejection direction towards the opening;
• a primary seating configured to at least partly circumferentially grip a first roll of the one or more rolls and to hold the first roll in the ejection position;
• and
• at least one secondary seating configured to receive a second roll of the one or more rolls to reload the apparatus, the secondary seating with the second roll being movable between a passive position, in which the second roll is outside the ejection position, and an active position, in which the second roll is arranged in the ejection position or is shiftable from the secondary seating into the primary seating.
