Abstract
A device is used to convey empty rolls that have been removed by at least one roll changer of a web-fed rotary printing press. At least one empty roll receptacle can be displaced between the roll changer, where the empty rolls are held by the receptacle after they are removed by the roll changer, and an emptying station where the empty rolls are removed from the receptacle. A collection receptacle is provided at the emptying station. The empty rolls are emptied from the empty roll receptacle to the collection receptacle.
Claims10
A system for transporting residual rolls removed from at least one roll changer in a printing press comprising:
- at least one transportable residual roll container adapted to receive a plurality of residual rolls from the at least one roll changer;
- a discharge station adapted to remove said plurality of residual rolls from said at least one transportable residual roll container;
- a collecting container in said discharge station and into which said plurality of residual rolls from said at least one transportable residual roll container can be emptied, said collecting container having a storage capacity sufficient to receive said plurality of residual rolls from each of a plurality of said transportable residual roll containers, said collecting container being supported at a first level;
- a transportable residual roll container lifting device in said discharge station and adapted to lift said at least one transportable residual roll container to a second level higher than said first level;
- a transport vehicle adapted to transport said at least one transportable residual roll container between said discharge station and the at least one roll changer;
- and
- an underfloor rail system, said transport vehicle being supported for movement on said underfloor rail system.
