Customised roll slitting systems for nonwoven and technical textile production

For over 40 years, CAMPEN Machinery A/S has supplied reliable roll slitting systems for nonwovens and technical textiles. Our customers benefit from robust equipment that integrates seamlessly with existing processes, delivering consistent roll quality and reducing manual handling. We support both stand-alone roll slitting machines and fully integrated slitting and rewinding lines for high-capacity production. Our systems are designed for maximum uptime, are energy-efficient, and easy to operate.

Customised roll slitting systems for diverse nonwoven and technical textile needs

We engineer roll slitting equipment tailored to a wide range of nonwovens and technical textiles, covering geotextiles, airlaid, spunlace, felts, artificial leather, and industrial composites. Depending on your plant layout and production flow, you can select in-line roll slitting directly after web formation or off-line converting for finished rolls. The product portfolio includes twin roll slitters, centre-driven slitters, and three-knife slitting systems for widths from 40 to 100 mm. Our solutions ensure efficient edge trim handling, typically 30–50 mm wide, keeping the production floor clear and reducing operator effort.

• Shaftless unwinder improves safety and speeds up large parent roll changes
• Accumulators maintain consistent roll slitting even if upstream processes fluctuate
• Cross cutting and length control boost packing output and enable precise roll lengths
• Tension-controlled winding delivers stable rolls for every application
• Siemens S7 PLC and clear HMI for recipe management, tension and speed adjustment, and process monitoring

Each component works together for stable, high-quality slitting and rewinding over extended runs.

• Wide-web roll slitting up to 5.1 metres increases flexibility for diverse material widths
• Capability for heavy rolls up to about 2000 kg reduces manual handling and streamlines logistics
• Automatic slitting and winding cut down on operator workload and decrease changeover time
• Energy-efficient drive systems help reduce overall power usage and support sustainability goals

Process control and consistent roll quality for every batch

Consistent roll quality and precise slit widths are critical for demanding nonwoven and technical textile markets. CAMPEN’s roll slitting solutions are engineered to deliver repeatable results shift after shift. The integrated control system manages unwinding, slitting, and winding with closed-loop tension control, essential for delicate webs like spunlace and airlaid. Each line is adjusted to your web characteristics to avoid breaks and defects.

• Knife options: three-knife slitting for narrow webs, shear or score slitting for robust applications like fiberglass and artificial leather
• Nip load and web path settings ensure low fibre-fly and preserve material properties
• Efficient edge trim evacuation streamlines further converting steps

Benefit from reduced waste, fewer web breaks, and stable roll formation. Maintenance is simplified with clear machine access and practical guarding. Operator-friendly HMI and diagnostics minimise downtime and assist quality tracking.

• Recipe management via Siemens S7 PLC supports reliable, fast changeovers
• Accumulators help maintain throughput when upstream flow varies
• Centre-driven slitters improve roll build quality on elastic or challenging webs
• Clear process monitoring supports rapid troubleshooting and stable OEE (overall equipment effectiveness)

Integrated support and full-line roll slitting solutions

Technical textiles and nonwovens present unique production challenges, from high-speed slitting of geotextiles to converting airlaid for hygiene applications. CAMPEN Machinery A/S integrates roll slitting with unwinding, web handling, and precise winding for a complete solution. Supporting layouts include both in-line integration and off-line modules, based on your workflow and space requirements.

• Unwind stands and accumulators for controlled web supply
• Slitting modules customised to your target widths and materials
• Rewinding and packaging units for streamlined logistics
• Expert advice on both hardware and automation for every stage of the line

Our engineers offer support from concept to commissioning, including operator training and rapid spare parts supply. We help you manage installation risks, conduct material trials, and ensure that your roll slitting investment delivers long-term returns. With decades of experience, we support leading producers across Europe and beyond with global service and remote diagnostics.

• Custom roll slitting solutions match your full product mix and business goals
• Energy-efficient, harmonised drives reduce long-term costs
• Data management and recipe tracking strengthens process reliability
• Proven reliability in roll slitting for high-volume nonwoven and technical textile manufacturing

Applications and materials processed with roll slitting technology

CAMPEN roll slitting machines are built for a wide variety of industrial web materials, including geosynthetics, filtration media, construction nonwovens, felts, fiberglass, films, artificial leather, and polyethylene. You gain stable roll structures, accurate slit widths, and fewer machine stoppages—optimising packing, warehouse storage, and converting downstream. Our technical team helps adapt each line to your application: whether you are working with delicate spunlace or heavy-duty geotextiles, we configure the right slitting process.
