Method in reeling and a reel-up

A reel-up which is arranged to form successive machine reels from a paper web comprising:

• storage rails on which a plurality of empty reel spools are stored;
• a fixed reeling cylinder positioned below the storage rails;
• reeling rails positioned below the storage rails;
• a transfer device mounted to the reeling rails for motion along the reeling rails, the transfer device having a center wind assist mounted for motion with the transfer device wherein the transfer device has a portion which engages a reel spool on which a machine reel is formed, and wherein the portion which engages a reel spool, and the center wind assist are mounted for vertical motion with respect to the reeling rails;
• wherein the transfer device is movable to take an empty reel spool having a periphery from the storage rails and position the empty reel spool periphery into engagement with the fixed reeling cylinder to form a first reeling nip and to receive a paper web and thus form the machine reel;
• a pressing device mounted below the reeling cylinder, and mounted for vertical motion and horizontal motion, and to move in a synchronized manner with the transfer device, and wherein the pressing device is moveable to form a second reeling nip with the machine reel, wherein the transfer device is movable to position said machine reel spaced from the fixed reeling cylinder along the reeling rails;
• and
• a fixed center wind assist positioned to engage the reel spool about which the machine reel is forming when the machine reel is positioned spaced from the fixed reeling cylinder along the reeling rails, and wherein the transfer device is movable while the machine reel is engaged with the fixed center wind assist to take a new empty reel spool from the storage rails.

A reel-up which is arranged to reel successive machine reels from a paper web (W), comprising a device (1) forming a first reeling nip (N1) in an initial reeling station, and a device (5) forming a second reeling nip (N2) in a final reeling station to reel the machine reel (R) that is becoming full apart from the device (1) forming the first reeling nip (N1), and means for bringing a new, empty reel spool (2) to the change station into such a connection with the paper web (W) that enables a change, said paper web travelling via the device (1) forming the first reeling nip (N1) towards the machine reel (R) that is becoming full, the reel-up further comprising a movable transfer device (6) for moving the reel spool (2) away from the device (1) forming the first reeling nip (N1), characterized in that said movable transfer device (6) is arranged to move back and forth between the change station and the final reeling station, and the device (5) forming the second reeling nip (N2) is arranged to move back and forth between the final reeling station and the initial reeling station, said movable transfer device (6) being arranged to hold the new reel spool (2) in the change station during the change and to hold the machine reel formed around the new reel spool (2) in the initial reeling station in nip contact with the device (1) forming the first reeling nip (N1), and that the device (5) forming the second reeling nip (N2) is arranged to move from the final reeling station to the initial reeling station to a nip contact with the machine reel formed around the new reel spool (2), and said movable transfer device (6) is arranged to move the reel spool (2) and the machine reel (R) formed after the change around the reel spool away from the device (1) forming the first reeling nip (N 1) to the stationary final reeling station at the same time when the device (5) forming the second reeling nip (N2) is transferred along with the movement of said movable transfer device back to the final reeling station in nip contact with the machine reel, and the transfer device (6) is movable back to the change station while the machine reel remains in the final reeling station and the device (5) forming the second reeling nip (N2) remains in the final reeling station in nip contact with the machine reel.
