reliable in-line winder solutions for nonwoven production

Since the 1970s, CAMPEN Machinery A/S has delivered reliable and robust winding solutions for nonwoven manufacturers worldwide. Our in-line winder is designed for continuous production, consistent roll quality, and secure operation. With proven Danish engineering and a practical, solution-oriented focus, we help you maximise uptime, output quality, and cost efficiency. Whether your production involves airlaid, spunlace, or technical textiles, this in-line winder integrates smoothly into your line and keeps your process running. We design, manufacture, and maintain every in-line winder with an emphasis on high performance, operational safety, and long-term value.

Delivering continuous roll change and stable production

The in-line winder from CAMPEN features reliable flying splice technology that enables automatic roll change during active production. A servo-driven tension control system keeps the web steady from the start to the full roll diameter, guaranteeing straight and even rolls. The cantilever design ensures operators can load cores and handle rolls quickly and with minimal effort. This in-line winder is easy to operate, supports high throughput, and reduces both manual intervention and scrap.

Purpose-built for nonwovens and technical textiles, the in-line winder can be installed directly downstream of bonding, drying, or coating operations. Functions such as managed tension ramps, lay-on adjustment, and torque regulation safeguard fragile or lightweight webs. With a compact footprint and CE-certified safety guarding, the in-line winder delivers both space efficiency and a safe work environment.

• Automatic roll change increases uptime and maintains continuous, efficient operation.
• Tension control delivers uniform roll build and limits material loss.
• Cantilever shaft construction allows fast core changes and smooth roll removal.
• Integrated slitting and trimming decrease manual processes and optimise floor layout.
• Handles rolls up to ø1500 mm and loads to 500 kg, adapting to various web formats.
• Supports line speeds up to 350 m/min, ready for future capacity upgrades.
• CE-certified and compact design supports a productive, safe facility.
• Competitive to operate, minimising total cost of ownership.
• CAMPEN’s decades of industry expertise as a trusted partner to global producers.

Flexibility in technology, configuration, and plant integration

The in-line winder can be delivered with in-line slitting and edge trimming, allowing for precise roll widths while simplifying downstream processes. For more robust or thicker webs, a cross cutter delivers square, clear roll ends. When both unwinding and rewinding are needed, we offer solutions with turret unwinder and turret winder technologies tailored for seamless integration to your existing setup.

The servo-driven in-line winder operates up to 350 m/min and accommodates roll diameters to ø1500 mm and weights to 500 kg, depending on your product and core type. Tension is managed throughout acceleration and deceleration, protecting both fibres and roll structure to avoid telescoping. Flying splice guarantees constant-speed roll changes, minimising manual stops and maintaining quality in high-speed lines.

• Servo-driven components protect delicate webs and prevent unexpected breakage.
• In-line slitting saves floor space and reduces unnecessary handling.
• Flying splice promotes operator safety and limits manual contact with moving webs.
• Recipe management and intuitive HMI enable fast and repeatable changeovers.
• Comprehensive safety guarding and interlocks comply with CE requirements for operator security.

Our technical team manages all interfaces, synchronisation, and web guiding, connecting your in-line winder seamlessly with upstream and downstream machinery. We handle all signal, drive, and safety system integration, ensuring your winder is production-ready from installation. For additional insight, see CAMPEN’s in-line winder.

Custom solutions for different nonwoven applications

We work closely with production teams, technical leads, and plant managers to configure each in-line winder for your process, targets, and workforce. Applications range from roof underlay and spunlace to airlaid, geotextiles, fibreglass, and specialist technical textiles. Modular options support both narrow widths and lightweight webs for demanding industrial use cases.

Your in-line winder can function after forming, bonding, or finishing units, or as a stand-alone nonwoven rewinder. Optional features include edge trim disposal, dust removal systems, and advanced dancer or load-cell web tension controls. We also supply compact variants for smaller lines. Our aftersales engineers provide fast service and technical support when you need it, ensuring trouble-free operation.

• Rapid installation and commissioning so you can start production quickly.
• Comprehensive operator training for safe, consistent, and cost-efficient running.
• Fast access to genuine spare parts and technical support for maximum uptime.
• Real-time production data, diagnostics, and analytics for process improvement.

CAMPEN delivers every in-line winder project with a focus on customer needs and operational reliability. By combining proven technology with practical, configurable features, we deliver winders that are robust, easy to operate, and fit for high-volume manufacturing.
