In a method and equipment for preparing paper rolls in a manner to enable one roll to be joined to another, the rolls (1) are transported separately by means of carriages (70) to a determined position in a join-preparing apparatus (30) which includes a join-preparing device (35) which is spaced from the determined carriage position. A carousel (31) has two diametrically arranged holders (33). While one holder (33) is located in a first holder position (33b) adjacent the carriage (70) in the determined position of the carriage, the other holder is located in a second holder position (33a) in which it coacts with the join-preparing device (35). A join-preparation is effected on a roll held at the join-preparing device (35) by one holder essentially in the time taken to transfer a join-prepared roll from the second holder (33) in the first position to an empty carriage (70) located in the defined position and while a roll which has arrived on a new carriage in the determined position is transferred to the other holder (33). The carriage which has received the join-prepared roll is driven immediately to its destination, for instance a paper roll rack, and is replaced in the aforesaid determined position by a carriage which carries an unprepared roll. This roll is immediately transferred to a holder (33) on the transfer device (31). <IMAGE> |
