Zusammenfassung:	An apparatus and method for loading a spool, including a core and a web of material, on a loading apparatus and unwinding the web material from the core of the spool. The loading apparatus may include a mandrel adapted to be received by the core. The mandrel may include a tubular side wall having an outer circumferential surface, an inner circumferential surface, and an aperture. A gripping member may be telescopically received within the aperture. The gripping member may be configured to move radially outward to press against the core. Likewise, the gripping member may be configured to move radially inward to release the core. The loading apparatus may be configured to associate with an unwind apparatus. The unwind apparatus allows the loading apparatus to rotate about a central longitudinal axis. As the unwind apparatus rotates, the web of material may be unwound from the core of the spool.
