    Industrial winder and slitter machinery for nonwovens and technical textiles

    Fully automatic roll change systems for nonwovens and technical textiles

    Since the 1970s, CAMPEN Machinery A/S has supplied reliable winding and slitting systems for demanding production lines. Our focus is stable performance, enhanced safety, and consistent roll quality. With fully automatic roll change, production sites can minimise manual stops, reduce waste, and ensure your product’s integrity across every run. Our winding solutions cover nonwovens, geotextiles, and technical textiles—ranging from in-line winding to off-line rewinding with integrated packaging processes. Our technical teams combine mechanical engineering and advanced drive controls to secure long-term uptime and efficiency in your plant.

    How automated roll change improves production standards

    A fully automatic roll change system from CAMPEN integrates servo-controlled winding technology with robust mechanical design. The result: a fast, safe, and repeatable automatic cycle. The winder prepares and positions the new core, secures the running web with hot-melt or tape, and completes the transfer—all without halting your production line. Advanced tension control systems provide reliable roll formation from start to finish.

    Direct results for your operation

    • Higher uptime: Fully automatic roll change eliminates manual interventions and reduces changeover time, even during high-speed roll conversion.
    • Consistent output: Closed-loop tension control maintains steady web tension for precise winding through acceleration and transfer points.
    • Waste reduction: Precise handling minimises edge trim and tail losses during automatic roll changes.
    • Improved operator safety: Automated core, web, and knife handling reduce exposure to moving parts.
    • Easy to operate: Intuitive HMI interfaces and recipe-based controls ensure straightforward handling and reliable repeatability for routine and complex tasks.

    We provide centre-driven and surface-driven winding concepts. Centre-driven winders are ideal for stretchable or sensitive webs; surface assist options suit heavier, more rigid material. Our fully automatic winder platforms fit both in-line winding for ongoing production and off-line rewinding for greater flexibility—including slitting for custom roll formats.

    Material-specific roll handling and process adaptation

    Nonwoven roll handling presents unique demands compared to films or traditional paper winding. We engineer the winder and automatic roll change process to match your product type, roll width, and required roll specification. From airlaid or spunlace fabrics to rigid geosynthetic materials, CAMPEN systems are tailored for your material.

    Examples of key applications

    • Geotextile winding and geosynthetics: Achieve reliable torque at the core and stable edge shaping for demanding construction materials.
    • Technical nonwovens, felts, and glass fibre mats: Precise build-up maintains profile accuracy and prevents telescoping.
    • Artificial leather and technical films: Secure lay-on for clean surfaces and consistent roll quality.

    Each fully automatic roll change line can be equipped with automatic tube feeding, hot-melt gluing, roll start and end fixation, and packaging modules. Web accumulators allow continuous production while finished rolls are automatically packed and removed. Our slitting and rewinding technology produces tight edge tolerances and ensures rolls are ready for downstream converting and finishing.

    • In-line winding: Optimises space and minimises manual handling steps.
    • Off-line rewinding: Permits splitting of master rolls, custom slitting, and individual formatting.
    • Integrated packaging: Reduces manual handling and supports rapid shipping.

    Decades of reliability and dedicated support

    With over forty years of experience, CAMPEN designs winding and roll change systems that match both your materials and your factory requirements. Our process is straightforward: we evaluate your needs, define the best automatic winding solution, and deliver a robust, easy-to-operate machine. All installations include testing, commissioning, and operator training to ensure smooth handover and immediate productivity.

    What makes CAMPEN a strong choice for automatic roll change

    • Reliable performance: Systems support continuous operation, helping you meet delivery schedules and quality targets.
    • Custom-fit engineering: Solutions are adapted to your specific web width, output requirements, and space constraints.
    • Process data: Integrated diagnostics and maintenance tools for predictive service and rapid troubleshooting.
    • Long-term lifecycle support: We supply spare parts and service to help maintain peak performance year after year.

    Our control logic manages torque sharing, taper tension, and recipe-driven roll builds. This enables both centre-driven and surface assist configurations. CAMPEN winders can be fully integrated with upstream or downstream technology, as well as plant-level data systems for tracking and traceability. The result: a robust, reliable, easy-to-operate and service solution.

    Supporting every step of nonwovens and technical textile processing

    CAMPEN delivers fully automatic roll change solutions to leaders in nonwovens, geotextiles, and technical textiles. Our knowledge of production pain points enables us to design practical, operator-friendly systems.

    • Safety and ergonomics: Optimised guarding and control layouts reduce operator risk near the winder and slitting units.
    • Modular design: Options to expand capacity, add off-line slitting, or integrate accumulator and packaging modules as needs evolve.
    • Retrofits and upgrades: Controls upgrades and retrofits extend the life of your existing winders and integrate new features for fully automatic roll change.

    Manufacturers of technical nonwovens, geotextiles, and heavy laminates benefit from dependable output, accurate edge control, and flexible operation. For every project, you can expect a reliable partner committed to your uptime, safety, and ongoing technical support.
