Automatic winding machine solutions for nonwovens and textiles

Since the late 1970s, CAMPEN Machinery A/S has specialised in the design and production of every type of automatic winding machine for nonwovens, geotextiles, and technical textiles. Our approach combines robust engineering with practical solutions. We use precise control systems to ensure your production runs smoothly, safely, and efficiently. From in-line winding after web forming to off-line rewinding and slitting, our machines deliver stable tension control, clean roll edges, and high roll quality. Every automatic winding machine is tailored for your products, your operators, and your site layout. This ensures quick installation and reliable long-term operation for industries across Europe and beyond.

Advanced winding control for maximum uptime and product quality

Each web material presents unique challenges. Our automatic winding machines use servo-driven centre or surface drive systems and closed-loop tension regulation. By managing nip pressure and drive torque, we build uniform, firm rolls without core damage or telescoping. Automatic roll change, splice, and cut-off features reduce the need for manual intervention and support continuous, high-speed production. These proven methods deliver both tight process control and flexible roll formats.

Benefits of upgrading with an automatic winding machine

Keeps tension stable, even for wide or fragile webs, reducing material waste and defects.
Features fully automatic roll change and transfer to cut downtime and speed up runs.
Works in-line or off-line for slitting, rewinding, and melt-bonding operations.
Applies adhesives or tapes to secure roll starts and ends, ensuring easier downstream handling.
Easily interfaces with accumulators, conveyors, and integrated packaging lines.

Safety is integral to every automatic winding machine. Structural guards, interlocks, and easy-to-read HMI screens help your team operate safely day after day. Our robust mechanical design simplifies maintenance and reduces wear, using standard European industrial parts for easy sourcing. For added support, remote diagnostics and alarm memory aid quick troubleshooting and downtime reduction.

We supply centre-driven winders for delicate webs and surface-driven winders for stiffer, heavier materials like geotextiles. Our servo systems manage acceleration and deceleration, keeping rolls free from wrinkles and edge defects, even at high speed. When you need efficient roll handling, our automatic winding machines integrate seamlessly with automated conveyors and packaging units.

Tailored winding solutions for your material and process needs

Each automatic winding machine is specified for your exact process, material, and layout. This includes roll diameter, core length, web width, line speed, and path routing. Our engineers analyse your data to define the ideal drive size and control method. The result: a reliable, easy-to-operate solution, matched to your products and shift schedules.

Processes and materials supported by CAMPEN winding technology

Geotextiles: accurate edge control and compact roll builds for rapid construction use.
Technical nonwovens: soft, relaxed winding for sensitive and high-value webs.
Airlaid, spunlace, and glass fibre: precise control to protect product integrity and strength.
Artificial leather and coated textiles: even winding for flawless roll faces and easy conversion.
Plastic, PE, and other films: strong, consistent rolls optimised for downstream slitting or packaging.

Options include advanced slitting and rewinding for multiple roll widths in a single pass. Automatic knife positioning helps reduce set-up time and operator errors. Our automatic winding machines handle wide webs and heavy-duty rolls without drift or misalignment, maintaining output quality during demanding shifts. Optional features include integrated labelling and automated wrapping for streamlined logistics.

For Industry 4.0 production, we provide machine integration with data and quality systems. Recipe management, roll traceability, and quality monitoring can link to your MES for full process control. Energy-efficient motors and optimised pneumatics keep operating costs low. With all wear and spare parts standardised, maintenance is simple and downtime kept to a minimum.

Partnering with industry on reliable winding for over 40 years

With a track record since the 1970s, CAMPEN delivers automatic winding machines to nonwoven and textile lines in Europe and around the world. Projects begin with clear specifications and proven engineering, followed by thorough factory acceptance testing using your materials and recipes. On-site commissioning, operator training, and a ramp-up support plan help you reach production quickly and safely.

Reasons to choose CAMPEN as your winding partner

Decades of winding experience lowers your technical and project risks.
Reliable operation in continuous production protects your throughput and delivery targets.
Advanced tension control ensures fewer defects, uniform rolls, and satisfied customers.
Customisable systems for wide and diverse materials, made to fit your plant and products.
Smooth integration with automated packaging and internal logistics for reduced manual work.

Comprehensive after-sales support is built in. CAMPEN provides spare parts, upgrade packages, and remote engineering assistance for every automatic winding machine. We retrofit modules like automatic tube feeding, enhanced splice systems, or extra slitting heads as your product requirements grow. You gain a future-proof, robust machine platform that supports long-term production needs.
