Abstract

A method and apparatus for opening an outer wrapping (11) of a reel (10) of, in particular, packaging material For the provision of a reel (10) of, for example, packaging material, such as paper, tinfoil or the like, it is necessary to remove an outer wrapping (11). The latter usually consists of an outer wound layer of the material. To open the wrapping (11), a material strip, namely an opening strip (32) is torn out of the wrapping (11). For this purpose, a tear-off member, namely a tear-off band (35), is placed with strong adhesion against the outside of the reel (10), On account of the relative movement, the opening strip (32) is torn out of the wrapping (11).
