Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0570871A2] 2.1. The supply of high-performance packaging machines with web-shaped wound packaging material (reels) and/or prefabricated blanks has hitherto necessitated a considerable amount of manual labour. The sometimes appreciable deadweight of the packaging material primarily has an adverse effect here. 2.2. In order to allow a virtually fully automatic feeding of the packaging machines with packaging material, a conveyor track (31) leading to the individual consumption points on the packaging machines is arranged above the packaging machines ("overhead"). Individual reels (26, 27, 28) or blanks (82) stacked in cassettes (84) are respectively transported along this conveyor track (31) by means of material conveyors (41). These are equipped with respective material holders (44) which consist solely of rigid immovable supporting members for the reels or cassettes (84). The feed and unloading of these material holders (44) take place automatically as a result of a corresponding relative movement of feeding and unloading members. <IMAGE>
