ABSTRACT:
Newsprint roll handling apparatus for a reelroom having a row of reelstands each equipped with spindles adapted to coaxially engage and rotate a cylindrical newsprint roll on a reelstand axis. The apparatus comprises storage racks installed in the reelroom and providing superimposed horizontal rows of storage bins adjacent to the reelstands and extending perpendicular to the reelstand axes, each storage bin being adapted to hold an individual newsprint roll positioned with its axis extending substantially parallel to the reelstand axes. A storage and retrieval machine, mounted for travel along an aisle adjacent to the storage bins and having a vertically and transversely movable roll carrier, is selectively operable to transfer newsprint rolls, delivered to a pickup station at one end of the aisle, from the pickup station either to one of the reelstand load stations provided along the aisle, or to one of the storage bins; and is operable to selectively transfer newsprint rolls from the storage bins to each reelstand load station as required during a press run.
