Abstract

L'invention concerne un procédé et un dispositif d'acheminement, de fourniture, de manipulation et/ou d'échange de rouleaux (12, 20) comportant un matériau plat et/ou un matériau sous forme de film, enroulé sur ces derniers, servant de matériau d'emballage (22) pour l'emballage de charges isolées, fûts ou ensembles d'articles similaires. Dans ce dispositif et selon ce procédé, des rouleaux (20) au moins pratiquement entièrement dévidés et/ou épuisés sont prélevés à partir d'une position de montage (EB1, EB2) d'une machine d'emballage (14) puis un nouveau rouleau (12) comportant un matériau plat et/ou sous forme de film est introduit respectivement dans la position de montage respective (EB1, EB2). De nouveaux rouleaux (12) de la machine d'emballage (14) sont fournis selon un acheminement défini et sont introduits au moyen d'au moins un dispositif de préhension et/ou de manipulation (16) dans la position de manipulation (EB1, EB2) respective, après le prélèvement au préalable d'un rouleau (20) consommé. Un élément de réception intermédiaire (60) pour un rouleau (12) à insérer dans la machine d'emballage (14), servant de support (62) pour le rouleau (12), en particulier pour la réception, la fourniture conforme au sens de rotation et pour une nouvelle réception dudit rouleau par le dispositif de préhension et/ou d'acheminement (16) en vue de son transfert dans la machine d'emballage (14) est associé au dispositif de préhension et/ou d'acheminement (16).
