Abstract

A reel slitter includes a slitting station for slitting a material web into partial webs and a winding station to wind the partial webs into partial web rolls. A transporter conveys at least one partial web from the slitting station. The transporter is disposed between the slitting station and the winding station. In order to provide for the winding of the partial webs across the entire width of the partial webs, the transporter has a width which is narrower than the material web. The transporter is also movable transversely to the running direction of the partial webs.
