Abstract
Two superimposed product formations wound upon a winding core in the form of a primary product package are conjointly unwound therefrom. The product formations are separated from each other at a branching or branch location. The first product formation is immediately removed by means of a conveyor belt arrangement. The second product formation is supplied to an intermediate winding core to be wound-up thereon so as to form an intermediate product package. After emptying the primary product package the second product formation is unwound from the intermediate winding core and supplied to the conveyor belt arrangement via a deflecting roller. By means of the conveyor belt arrangement the second product formation is also consecutively removed following the previously removed first product formation. During unwinding of the intermediate product package from the intermediate winding core the empty winding core for the primary product package may be replaced by a new core containing a full primary product package without interruption in the removal of the printed products.
