Method and device in connection with a reel-up

A device in connection with a reel-up of a paper web, comprising a rotating reel spool (2) and around the same a reel (R) formed from the paper web (W) passed to the reel-up, wherein the device can be arranged in contact with the surface of the rotating reel (R), said device comprising a press member (3b) forming a nip with the peripheral surface of the reel and rotating substantially at the same surface speed therewith, wherein in addition to the press member (3b), the device comprises a guiding member (3a), separate from the press member (3b), which can be transferred in the operating position adjacent to the peripheral surface of the reel or in contact with the same to guide the final free end of the web, i.e. a tail (H) moving along with the rotating motion of the reel, against the peripheral surface of the reel (R), wherein the guiding member (3a) is in the operating position within a distance from the press member (3b) in the direction of the perimeter of the reel and is in contact with the tail (H) and/or with the peripheral surface of the reel (R) before the press member (3b) in the direction of rotation of the reel and the surface of the guiding member (3a) that is located opposite to the reel is arranged to have a lower speed in the direction of motion of the peripheral surface of the reel (R) than the peripheral surface of the reel (R) and the guiding member 3(a) is located under the angular distance of 30° from the press member.

A method in connection with a reel-up of a paper web, comprising the steps of:

• rotating a reel spool (2) around which a reel has been formed from the paper web (W) passed to the reel-up;
• cutting the web (W) passed to the reel;
• bounding a surface layer of the reel by means of a press device(3) having a press roll (3b), said press device (3) is in contact with the surface of the rotating reel;
• forming a nip with the peripheral surface of the reel by loading the press roll proximate with the surface of the reel and rotating the press roll substantially at the same surface speed as the reel;
• guiding a final tail end (H) of the web, that travels along with the rotating motion of the reel, against the peripheral surface of the reel by means of a guiding member (3a), said guiding member (3a) arranged in a distance from the press member (3b) in the direction of the perimeter of the reel, said guiding member surface in the direction of the peripheral surface of the reel, arranged opposite to the reel, having a lower speed than a surface speed of the reel and being located before the press member (3b) in the direction of rotation of the reel at an angular distance of less than 30°.
