Automated nonwoven roll production line solutions for efficient web handling

Since the late 1970s, CAMPEN Machinery A/S has supplied reliable solutions for nonwoven web handling. Our automated nonwoven roll production line brings robust engineering and precise control to demanding production environments. All lines are tailored to your products and plant layout. Our support covers every stage, from concept to start-up, delivering proven technology, clear documentation and responsive service. The result: consistent roll quality, fewer stops and lower operating costs.

Integrated solutions for automated nonwoven roll handling and conversion

We deliver complete systems for efficient and safe automated nonwoven roll production. Whether your application calls for in-line winding or off-line rewinding, each production line is configured for your web type, plant speed and required roll size. The key modules span web guiding, slitting, rewinding, accumulators, centre-driven or surface winders, as well as integrated packaging units. Servo-controlled winding and closed-loop tension control keep your web stable throughout the entire process.

Main functions that streamline roll production

• Fully automatic winder with automatic roll change to minimise stops and maximise uptime across all shifts.
• Automatic tube feeding to reduce manual handling and improve operator safety during roll changeovers.
• Hot-melt roll start and end fixation for secure edges and reliable transport.
• High-speed roll conversion shortens changeover times and increases output per shift.
• Integrated packaging, labelling and palletising to streamline dispatch and reduce labour.
• Edge trim and waste extraction keep the line clean and help prevent rework or defects.
• Off-line rewinding cell option allows for efficient quality checks and flexible, small-batch production.

All controls are designed to be easy to operate. Recipe management, roll logs and alarm histories allow teams to optimise set-up and maintain production repeatability. We engineer strong ergonomics and CE-marked safety systems for nonwoven roll handling. Every feature helps protect your material and operators while supporting stable output.

Quality winding and optimal web stability across nonwoven materials

With over four decades of technical experience, our lines deliver uniform winding quality for all nonwovens. From light spunlace to thick geosynthetics, you achieve straight edges, tight cores and reliable density. Servo-driven winding ensures constant tension, regardless of speed or diameter. Choose centre-driven, surface or hybrid drives to suit your material properties and width requirements.

Enhanced process control and web protection features

• Advanced tension control prevents neck-in, wrinkling and fibre disruptions, maintaining high product quality.
• Centre-driven winders protect delicate or low-weight web materials during roll formation.
• Surface winding supports wide and bulky products for a stable, consistent lay.
• Automatic roll change maintains web continuity and reduces waste and downtime.
• Geotextile winding systems handle heavy rolls with smooth acceleration and braking for safe operation.
• Precise slitting and rewinding deliver clean edges and repeatable roll widths.

Each automated nonwoven roll production line is built for 24/7 operation. Robust frames, premium bearings and drives are engineered for round-the-clock reliability. Remote diagnostics and digital support tools help plant technicians resolve issues quickly. This reduces unplanned downtime and secures stable roll quality for subsequent converting or lamination.

Production lines designed for your specific requirements

Every project begins with an assessment of your output speed, OEE targets, roll geometry and available floor area. Each automated nonwoven roll production line is built to handle wide materials and multiple product families. We support nonwoven fabrics, airlaid, fibreglass, artificial leather and polyethylene film. You can choose between integrated in-line winding solutions and stand-alone roll processing cells, ensuring the line fits seamlessly with your production flow.

Lifecycle integration and ongoing support

• Integration with automatic packaging enhances traceability and reduces manual interventions.
• Accumulators support splice-on-the-fly, allowing upstream equipment to keep running during roll changes.
• Connectivity with MES and ERP systems ensures digital roll identification, labels and production reporting.
• Operator training and straightforward manuals enable fast, stable ramp-up and ongoing production reliability.
• Comprehensive spare parts, audit and upgrade programmes extend equipment service life and maintain availability.
• Ergonomic and safety-enhanced features reduce workplace risk and ease daily operations.

Our technical managers and production engineers support your project from FAT through SAT and ramp-up. We can run trials with your materials to optimise winding parameters, tension settings and roll build. Our goal is stable, repeatable results in every batch, whether processing geotextiles, felts or other technical nonwovens.
