The device is characterized by comprising a number of rollers (30, 64) forming an aperture (32) through which the packaging material is arranged to pass. A rolling surface (34, 66) of each of the rollers is arranged to be in contact with an outer surface of the tube. Further, a direction of a rotation axis of at least one of the rollers is adjustable so as to control the twist of the tube.
