  • the holding device is preferably arranged in a stationary manner and/or set up to hold the banderole at a fixed location (position) and/or in a fixed position (orientation), and the removal device set up to release the gripped or clamped bundle relative to the to move the banderole held by the holding device in order to convey it out of the banderole.
  • This embodiment is particularly easy to implement.
  • the removal device can be stationary and the holding device can be set up to move the banderole held relative to the bundle gripped or clamped by the stationary removal device in order to convey the bundle gripped by the removal device out of the banderole or remove the banderole from the banderole pull off the bundle.
  • both the holding device together with the held band and the removal device together with the gripped or clamped bundle are moved relative to one another in order to separate the band and the bundle from one another.
  • the holding device is preferably set up to hold the at least one end face section of the banderole in a non-positive manner.
  • the respective end face portion is by the holding device with a Normal force applied, through which a static friction force between the holding device and the end face portion is caused, which is greater than the forces occurring between the band and the bundle when conveying out the bundle, in particular frictional forces.
  • a non-positive connection between the holding device and the respective front side section is easy to implement, since in particular no specially designed elements are required for a positive connection, it is easy to release and also ensures that the respective front side section of the banderole is held reliably when the bundle is pulled out .
  • the holding device has at least one suction cup for this purpose.
  • the holding device is set up to press the suction cup against the at least one end section of the banderole, so that the at least one end section is held by or on the suction cup.
  • the suction cup can be a "passive suction cup", which preferably has a cup-shaped hollow body made of elastic material, for example silicone or rubber, which is pressed against the respective end face section, whereby a cavity surrounded by the elastic material is pressed in and the cavity contained therein Air is at least partially displaced.
  • the resulting pressure of the surrounding medium, usually air, on the hollow body or the negative pressure prevailing in the cavity exerts a force by which the respective end face section is held on the suction cup.
  • the use of one or more suction cups represents a particularly simple and yet reliable possibility of realizing a non-positive connection between the holding device and the respective front side section of the banderole.
  • the holding device can have at least one suction cup, which has a suction interface via which it can be connected to a vacuum generating device. And the holding device can be set up to bring the suction cup into contact with the at least one end face section of the banderole.
  • a vacuum generation device is also provided, which is set up to generate a negative pressure on the at least one suction cup via the suction interface, so that the at least one end face section is held by the suction cup brought into contact with the at least one end face section.
  • the suction cup is preferably in the form of a cup-shaped hollow body made of an elastic material such as silicone or rubber.
  • the suction interface can be formed by a hole in the region of the suction cup or hollow body facing away from the band, into which a hose end of a hose leading to the vacuum generating device can be inserted. If necessary, the intake interface can have a short piece of tubing starting at the hole. If the suction cup coupled to the activated vacuum generating device, which is also referred to as the "active suction cup" in connection with the present disclosure, comes into contact with the respective front side section of the banderole, a buildup occurs in the suction cup, in particular in the cavity of the suction cup or cup-shaped hollow body Negative pressure, from which a force results, by which the respective front side section of the banderole is held on the suction cup. In this way, a particularly reliable, detachable non-positive connection can be realized between the holding device and the respective front side section of the banderole.
  • the holding device is preferably also set up to at least partially lift the at least one end face section of the banderole relative to the at least one end face of the bundle or to lift it off the at least one end face of the bundle. If the end face section of the banderole is initially in contact with at least one area of the respective end face of the bundle, the lifting of the end face section of the banderole creates a finite distance between at least a part of the end face section of the banderole and the at least one area of the end face of the bundle is produced or at least one force, in particular the normal force with which the end face section of the banderole rests on the relevant end face of the bundle, is reduced or even eliminated. In both cases, frictional forces that can occur when the bundle is pulled out of the banderole are significantly reduced in a simple and reliable manner in comparison to the end face section that was originally in contact, which makes debanding even more reliable.
  • a distance created by the lifting between the at least one raised part of the front side section of the band and the at least one area of the front side of the bundle is preferably 0.2 to 2 mm, in particular 0.5 to 1.5 mm, preferably about 1 mm.
  • the banderole is not damaged or torn open by such a slight lifting.
  • the holding device is preferably set up to hold both end-side sections of the banderole and/or to lift them, preferably simultaneously, relative to both end-sides of the bundle.
  • the banderole is held particularly reliably by the simultaneous holding or simultaneous lifting of both end-side sections and any frictional forces between the two end-side sections of the banderole on the one hand and the two end-sides of the bundle on the other hand are particularly greatly reduced, which makes unbanding even more reliable.
  • the holding device preferably has at least one suction cup for each of the two front side sections of the banderole, which is set up to hold the respective front side section of the banderole in a non-positive manner and in particular to lift it relative to the respective front side of the bundle.
  • the lifting preferably takes place in a direction away from the bundle, in particular by moving the respective suction cup holding the end face section in the direction away from the bundle, preferably by a distance of between 0.2 to 2 mm, for example between 0.5 to 1. 5mm
  • the holding device has, in particular, a control device that controls the holding device in such a way that the at least one suction cup is brought into contact with the at least one end-side section of the banderole, and possibly also in such a way that the suction cup that has made contact with the end-side section can be used to lift the at least one end-side section the banderole is moved.
  • the control device of the holding device and the control device of the removal device can communicate with one another in order to achieve the described sequence of de-banding, or be formed by a superordinate control device of the device that controls the described sequence of de-banding.
  • the removal device is set up to convey the bundle provided with the banderole to the holding device.
  • the bundle is preferably oriented in such a way that the main sides of the bundle formed by the uppermost and lowermost value document of the bundle are oriented vertically. This ensures that a bundle that may only be clamped on one side during transport remains oriented as horizontally as possible - due to the vertical edges - and does not bend down as a result of gravity at the non-clamped end of the bundle, which would change the position of the band.
  • the main sides of the bundle can also be oriented horizontally in the holding device, in which case a corresponding horizontal stop is provided at the lower end of the holding device, which ensures that the non-clamped end of the bundle (which would otherwise bend downwards due to gravity) in the horizontal remains.
  • the removal device has at least one gripper and is set up to transport the gripper, for example in a first direction, to the bundle provided with the band or to convey the bundle to the gripper, and to control the gripper located on the bundle in such a way that it clamps or grips the bundle between the two main sides and, while the at least one end-side section of the banderole is held by the holding device, the gripper, e.g a second direction opposite to the first direction, away from the band to convey the clamped bundle out of the band.
  • This design represents a particularly robust and correspondingly reliable option for transporting the bundle out of the banderole that is being held.
  • the removal device has at least one transport device which is set up to transport the bundle provided with the band to the holding device and, while the at least one end-side section of the band is held by the holding device, to at least one of the main sides of the bundle act to transport the bundle out of the banderole.
  • the transport device is preferably set up to transport the bundle provided with the band in a transport direction towards the holding device and, while the at least one end section of the band is held by the holding device, to transport the bundle in a direction essentially identical to or opposite to the transport direction to be transported out of the banderole. In the first case, the transport direction of the bundle remains unchanged before, during and after debanding.
  • the transport device is set up to transport the bundle provided with the band in a transport direction towards the holding device and, while the at least one end section of the band is held by the holding device, to transport the bundle in a direction essentially opposite to the transport direction from the to transport banderole out.
  • the holding device/at least two suction cups of the holding device are located on opposite sides of a transport path on which the initially banded bundle is conveyed to the holding device, in which the banderole then preferably holds both end face sections in a non-positive manner.
  • the bundle is then conveyed out of the banderole on the further transport path while the banderole is held in the holding device and, if necessary, further conveyed, for example to a separating device in which the value documents contained in the now debandered bundle are individually removed from the bundle.
  • the transport of the bundle Before or for unbanding, the transport of the bundle can be temporarily stopped and/or slowed down, e.g. in order to ensure the most reliable possible frictional connection between the holding device, in particular the suction cup, and the respective front side section.
  • the transport of the bundle can also be continued at an undiminished speed, in particular if the holding device is designed to be coupled sufficiently quickly to the front side sections of the band and to hold them.
  • this embodiment permits continuous operation when debanding bundles; in the case of a temporary stoppage of the bundle transport, quasi-continuous operation is nevertheless possible. In all cases, not only reliable, but also particularly fast debanding of a large number of bundles is made possible.

  • bulky bundles 4 provision can be made, for example, for the speed at which the bundle is pulled out to be reduced compared to the speed at which the banded bundle 4 is transported.
  • the aim is not to change the speed or only slightly to change the speed in order to pull off the band 1 more or less in passing and thereby achieve the highest possible throughput in terms of time to guarantee.
  • pushing can preferably be effected by the transport units 21, 22 lying behind the bundle 4, viewed in the transport direction T, as long as the bundle 4 is still being touched by them.
  • a pushing element such as a plate, a rake or pin (not shown) can be provided, through which the bundle 4 in the is pushed in the second direction R2, while the band 1 is held in the holding device 10 and the bundle 4 is pulled out of the band 1 in the second direction by means of the gripper 30.
  • figure 17 shows a schematic representation of an example of a system for processing documents of value, in particular banknotes, with a device 40 for unbanding bundles 4 of banknotes, each provided with a banderole 1, according to one of the exemplary embodiments described above.
  • the system also has a separating device 50 which is set up to withdraw the banknotes BN contained in the debanded bundle 4 individually from the bundle 4 .
  • the individual banknotes BN are fed to a processing device 60 which is set up to process the individual banknotes BN, in particular to check, count, sort and/or destroy them.
