For over 40 years, CAMPEN Machinery A/S has delivered reliable, robust automatic slitter / rewinder systems to nonwoven and technical textile producers across Europe and internationally. Our solutions are engineered for stable uptime, precise slitting, and consistent roll build-up, supporting your production goals with efficiency and safety. Whether you require in-line or off-line slitting, each automatic slitter / rewinder is tailored to your production environment, material range, and output demands. From initial consultation to commissioning, our team works with yours to ensure high productivity, repeatable roll quality, and operator safety.
Since the 1970s, we have refined our automatic slitter / rewinder technology for nonwovens and technical textiles. Our platforms support both in-line slitting and off-line converting, enabling high-capacity processing of demanding materials. Depending on your requirements, we offer twin roll slitters or centre-driven slitters. The three-knife slitting technology ensures clean slit widths from 40 mm to 100 mm, with reduced edge dust. Optional edge trim (30–50 mm) and cross-cutting features streamline product quality management and sample preparation.
Central to our system is a Siemens S7 PLC with user-friendly HMI for precise speed and tension management. This provides tension-controlled winding, ensuring uniform roll build-up across all web widths. A shaftless unwinder and accumulator work together to stabilise the web during splicing and roll changes. Automated slitting and rewinding reduce manual intervention and shorten cycle times.
Our automatic slitter / rewinder can process a wide range of substrates, including geosynthetics, geotextiles, felts, spunlace, airlaid nonwovens, fibreglass mats, artificial leather, faux leather, plastic film, and polyethylene film. You can store material-specific parameter sets to ensure rapid job changes and consistent quality throughout each production run.
Our automatic slitter / rewinder platforms are designed to accommodate wide webs up to 5.1 m and rolls up to 2,000 kg. These configurations meet the needs of large-scale lines and master roll handling, with frames and drives engineered for continuous operation. Safety features, protective guarding, and convenient operator access are integrated to align with modern plant safety standards.
Optimised unwind modules maintain steady tension during acceleration, deceleration, and web splicing, protecting sensitive materials. Our rewind stations can be configured for either centre or surface winding. Easy-to-use knife holders and positioning systems reduce setup time and simplify routine maintenance. Integrated web accumulators enable uninterrupted production during core loading and roll changeovers.
Our automatic slitter / rewinder systems are engineered for tight slit tolerances and reliable roll build, supporting improved downstream runnability, less waste, and better end-product quality. Many customers have achieved faster production start-up times, reduced stops due to edge defects, and increased packing density. The result is higher output, lower reject rates, and predictable deliveries.
Every production environment is different. We deliver automatic slitter / rewinder systems with tailored integration for both in-line and off-line setups, including packaging and rewinding modules. Our engineering team supports custom configuration of unwinding, slitting, and rewinding to fit your process flow, whether you are handling technical textiles, plastic films, or nonwovens. We collaborate with your operations, maintenance, and quality teams to set clear project targets and ensure acceptance criteria are met.
Integrated PLC/HMI and data interfaces make it straightforward to connect with plant systems and collect quality data. Comprehensive training covers safe operation, troubleshooting, and standard maintenance tasks. Spare parts supply and remote technical support help keep your automatic slitter / rewinder running reliably. If your requirements evolve, we offer upgrades for drives, knives, and control systems so you can maintain optimal performance.
Our automatic slitter / rewinder units are ideal for processing geosynthetics for infrastructure, nonwovens for construction, technical felts, fibreglass mats, plastic films, and PE films. We configure drive systems, knives, and tension controls for each application to achieve narrow slit widths, precise edge control, or specified roll diameters. This helps protect your final product quality and maintain high operator safety standards.
