The unwinder device includes an unwinding station (7), with unwinding
members for unwinding reels and a splicing device (151) for splicing
together web-like materials (N1 and N2) coming from a first reel (B1) and
from a second reel (B2). At least two supports (49, 51) are arranged in
the unwinding station for the respective reels of web-like material,
associated with respective unwinding members (83, 99). The supports are
constructed and arranged to simultaneously support two reels being
unwound, during at least a phase of the unwinding, and each of said
supports is able and constructed to load a new reel in an engagement
position, support it during the unwinding and unload it in a release
position.
