Efficient rewinding of nonwoven rolls with robust slitting solutions

Since the 1970s, CAMPEN Machinery A/S has supported producers in achieving efficient rewinding of nonwoven rolls with reliable slitting, winding, and automation technology. We develop robust, easy-to-operate machinery for safe and stable roll quality. Our focus is on effective process control, minimal waste, and continuous, high-uptime production. Each project is engineered to fit your specific materials, product requirements, and plant layout. From initial planning through commissioning and service, we help you meet output goals, reduce downtime, and streamline roll handling on your nonwoven lines.

Optimising nonwoven production with integrated slitting and rewinding solutions

We deliver slitter/rewinder equipment that supports efficient rewinding of nonwoven rolls both in-line and off-line. Our designs address high-capacity processing, durable performance, and operator safety. Whether you need centre-driven or twin-roll winding, we tailor the solution for your fibre, weight, and product mix. Narrow slit lanes, adjustable from 40–100 mm, and edge trim of 30–50 mm offer material flexibility. Features such as cross cutting and shaftless unwinders further support throughput and enable quick roll changes with minimal manual intervention.

Automation and control are central. Siemens S7 PLCs and straightforward human–machine interfaces (HMIs) maintain set tension and speed. Recipe-driven operation reduces changeover time and helps avoid errors when starting new jobs. Heavy-roll handling (up to 5.1 m width and around 2000 kg) is available for large-format production, including for technical textiles, filtration media, and hygiene materials.

• Stable slitting and tension management for precise roll build-up and predictable quality
• Continuous operation supported by accumulators during roll changes and splicing
• Automated slitting and winding for higher operator safety and consistent results
• Efficient, recipe-based changeovers with easy-to-use touch controls
• Adaptable to both in-line and stand-alone (off-line) roll processing arrangements

Maintaining roll quality and efficiency at industrial scale

Uniform tension and edge control are essential for efficient rewinding of nonwoven rolls. Our machines help you achieve clean slit edges, compact wind, and a reliable roll structure—critical for downstream converting and packaging. Process monitoring ensures steady speed, protecting both delicate and robust webs from damage. With programmable torque and nip settings, you can adjust for diverse materials such as spunlace, airlaid, fibreglass, and composite nonwovens, as well as artificial leather. These settings minimise defects like telescoping and roll ridging, reduce dust, and improve end-user satisfaction with finished rolls.

Precise control also improves operator productivity. Diagnostic screens, alarms, and automated stop/start sequences ease workload and support plant safety. Consistent build-up means less rework and fewer stoppages in subsequent processes. Our focus on robust, straightforward engineering makes it easier to meet tight output schedules and maintain high product standards shift after shift.

• High-precision winding prevents defects and supports smooth downstream processing
• Adjustable slit width and trim options for diverse product formats
• Edge trim containment reduces fluff and dust, protecting both product quality and worker health
• Reliable automation decreases operator errors and increases plant safety
• Field-proven hardware lowers risk and supports long-term plant investments

Engineered systems and lifecycle support for every production environment

CAMPEN’s experience in slitting and winding covers technical nonwovens, geotextiles, medical rolled goods, and filtration materials. We consult closely to evaluate your nonwoven substrates, available floor space, and process targets. Each solution is designed for straightforward integration—whether in an owner-managed workshop or a large-scale automated facility. Our focus is always on safety, output, and reliability, with flexible layouts matched to your needs.

We use Siemens platforms for clear diagnostics and simple operator training. Integration with upstream forming and end-of-line packing equipment allows you to modernise your entire workflow. Our services cover the full lifecycle: remote support, spare-part packages, and machine upgrades to safeguard productivity and control your cost of ownership.

• Custom layouts and controls integrate slitting, rewinding, and packing in one workflow
• Efficient, robust mechanical design eases maintenance and daily visual checks
• Remote diagnostics and clear alarm systems keep unplanned stoppages low
• Modernisation and retrofit packages extend asset life and upgrade safety features
• All equipment developed for compliance with EU safety and operational standards

Collaborate with slitting and rewinding specialists

If you aim to increase plant efficiency and improve the quality of your nonwoven rolls, our robust, easy-to-operate slitter/rewinders are engineered to deliver. Share your production goals—such as web width, maximum roll weight, roll diameter, and output capacity—and we will recommend a suitable line configuration. We are committed to helping producers of filtration media, hygiene materials, technical nonwovens, and geotextiles get more from their investments and keep downtime to a minimum.
