Device for winding a web of material

Device for winding a paper web (9) onto a spool (12), a winding roller (11) is formed. DOLLAR A A support drum (10) forms a winding nip with the wound reel (11). A secondary transport device (15) is for movement of the spool (12) along a horizontal track (13) and carries an air-squeezing element (25) which can be pressed upon reaching a desired film thickness by a pressing device (26) to the winding roll (11) , DOLLAR A at the secondary transport device (15) is a lifting device (27) is provided which the air-squeezing element (25) and its pressing device (26) bears and which is adapted to the air-squeezing element (25) and its pressing device (26) in a to proceed to the current layer thickness (S1) corresponding to a distance from the wrapping roller axis of rotation.
