Slitting and winding machinery for consistent nonwoven roll quality

For over 40 years, CAMPEN Machinery A/S has supported manufacturers in delivering consistent nonwoven roll quality on demanding production lines. We develop and build robust, reliable, and easy-to-operate slitting and winding equipment to meet your specific needs. Our engineering teams bring strong technical know-how and a solution-oriented approach to every project. We work with you to maintain stable product quality, improve uptime, and reduce waste. Whether your setup involves in-line converting or flexible standalone slitter/rewinders, CAMPEN delivers consistent nonwoven roll quality for both complex installations and compact operations.

Engineered slitting and winding solutions for uniform roll production

CAMPEN slitter/rewinders are designed to ensure consistent nonwoven roll quality throughout the process. Choose in-line slitting immediately after bonding or opt for off-line converting based on your production flow. Our twin roll slitters and centre-driven slitters can be matched to a wide range of nonwoven materials and performance requirements.

Our three-knife slitting system delivers slit widths from 40–100 mm with clean edges and low dust. Minimal heat generation protects sensitive fibres and reduces the risk of defects. Edge trim handling between 30–50 mm supports waste reduction and keeps production areas safe and organised. Integrated cross-cutting enables direct, sheeted formats if your process requires it.

• Accurate speed and tension control prevents telescoping and roll defects.
• Tension-controlled winding maintains high product quality across all roll widths.
• High-capacity slitting and winding with stable output for spunlace, airlaid, and other technical textiles.
• Automated roll handling and slitting reduce manual intervention and improve workplace safety.

To keep the web stable during roll changes, shaftless unwinders and accumulators are integrated for smooth transitions. This setup helps you avoid unplanned line stops, achieve stable output, and preserve consistent nonwoven roll quality batch after batch.

Supporting large widths and heavy rolls in high-performance lines

Many technical nonwoven applications need wide web widths and high roll weights. CAMPEN systems handle up to 5.1 metres in width and up to 2,000 kg per roll. This capability allows longer production runs and fewer changeovers, giving you greater efficiency and always keeping consistent nonwoven roll quality in focus. Whether your process involves geosynthetics, geotextiles, filtration media, fibreglass, felts, or films, our machines hold precise tolerances.

Shaftless unwinders make roll loading faster and safer, reducing operator strain. Consistent web tension, even at maximum load, protects both fibre integrity and coatings. Maintain accurate edges and roll profiles for demanding materials, including spunbond, artificial leather, and plastic film.

• Heavy-duty frames limit vibration to secure product quality in all core sizes.
• Precision nip and lay-on solutions build compact, uniform rolls.
• Edge trim removal systems reduce waste and keep floors safe.
• Integrated cross-cutting aligns with downstream packaging or laminating needs.

Our in-line configurations synchronise with upstream bonding or downstream packaging. Off-line machines provide flexible, logical flow and ease of maintenance. In every setup, safety, efficiency, and consistent nonwoven roll quality are top priorities.

Modern controls for reliable and repeatable nonwoven roll results

Our winding equipment uses Siemens S7 PLCs and user-friendly HMI panels for safe, intuitive operation. Operators can set process recipes, lock parameters, and repeat tension profiles for stability. Closed-loop speed and tension regulation quickly reacts to process changes, avoiding roll edge or core defects and supporting consistent nonwoven roll quality.

Automated roll slitting and winding help standardise hardness, edge condition, and changeover times, leading to repeatable results at every shift. Accumulator sections buffer web flow during knife changes or roll splicing, minimising loss and boosting uptime.

• Recipe management for consistent settings and quality from shift to shift.
• Measurement options for in-process quality checks and traceability.
• Energy-efficient motors lower operational costs at high speeds.
• Remote service access cuts downtime and supports your team.

All production data can be linked to plant-wide MES or ERP systems for improved quality control and customer reporting. This supports traceability and enables engineers to refine production by grade or lot, so you can maintain reliable, high-quality nonwoven rolls ready for finishing and dispatch.
