Roll slitting felts lines for consistent, high-quality production

Since the 1970s, CAMPEN Machinery A/S has enabled nonwoven and technical textile producers to achieve higher throughput and consistent roll quality. Our engineered systems for roll slitting felts are designed to fit your process and available space, combining technical insight with a focus on reliable, easy-to-operate solutions. Whether you require in-line or off-line processing, we deliver roll slitting felts equipment with optimal integration of slitters, unwinders, accumulators, and advanced control to ensure repeatable results and stable operation.

Specialised equipment for accurate slitting and rewinding

CAMPEN delivers complete lines for roll slitting felts and rewinding, supporting a wide range of technical textiles and nonwoven materials. You can select from versatile roll slitters—such as twin roll units for wide felts, three-knife systems for narrow web applications, or centre-driven slitters for challenging formats. Each line can operate directly connected with your upstream processes or as an independent offline work cell. We prioritise clean cuts, tight slit tolerances, and perfectly built rolls, regardless of web speed or material challenges.

Every system features a shaftless unwinder, web accumulator, and reliable speed and tension controls. With Siemens S7 PLC and an intuitive human-machine interface, operators find control straightforward. Automated knife positioning, programmable edge trim (30–50 mm), and cross-cutting functions make it simple to set size and format, reducing manual work and material waste. CAMPEL roll slitting felts lines handle heavy rolls up to 2,000 kg and web widths up to 5.1 m, so your plant can run at high output for longer cycles with minimal downtime.

• Adjustable configurations fit your production floor, optimise throughput, and keep downtime low during changeovers.
• Active tension and speed control ensures dense rolls and stable winding, supporting smooth downstream processes.
• Fully automated slitting and rewinding increases operator safety and reduces direct handling requirements.
• Recipe-based control via HMI makes training easy and helps operators deliver stable, high-quality rolls shift after shift.
• Engineered for 24/7 operation with durable drive and mechanical components for maximum reliability in challenging environments.

Achieving clean edges and uniform tension across the roll

Processing roll slitting felts efficiently requires precise tension management and robust mechanics. Our lines are built to maintain correct web tension and nip force, which protects delicate felts and nonwovens from edge damage or telescoping. This reliability ensures that products can move directly to downstream processing such as lamination or packaging with minimal rework or customer complaints.

For slit widths of 40–100 mm, particularly when film or robust spunbonded materials are involved, three-knife slitting can be chosen for its clean edges. Centre-driven slitters with purpose-built idler layouts help control wider or bulkier felts. Advanced tension and speed control continuously adapts to product and roll diameter, so you achieve excellent roll formation and a repeatable result on every batch.

• Precision web controls reduce edge fraying and dust, enabling better quality and less downstream cleaning.
• Efficient edge trimming (30–50 mm) minimises material loss while protecting web quality.
• High-capacity unwinding, slitting, and winding solutions support long runs with fewer interruptions, maximising your line’s productivity.
• Built-in web accumulators compensate for upstream stops, keeping the slitting operation stable and uptime high.
• Rolls exit with consistent diameter and tight geometry, making it easier and faster to move on to wrapping or further converting steps.

Whether you are working with geosynthetics, glass fibre, artificial leather, spunlace, airlaid, or polyethylene-based nonwovens, our roll slitting felts solutions prioritise safe handling and uniform, high-quality output.

Project support from engineering to long-term operation

CAMPEN partners with clients from initial system design to final installation and ongoing support. Our engineering team specifies the right integration—inline or offline—along with packaging and rewinding options. You receive clear documentation and operator training for efficient startup. Decades of expertise in slitting and winding help you anticipate and solve production issues early, so your roll slitting felts line performs at its best.

Older lines benefit from retrofitting with our drive systems, Siemens S7 PLC updates, and improved HMIs, delivering rapid performance gains. Remote support and on-site field service extend reliability and uptime. Combined with fast spare parts supply, you can keep your roll slitting felts operations on track against tight production schedules.

• Tailored mechanical and control engineering ensures plant safety, correct web paths, and production efficiency.
• Fully integrated lines simplify responsibility and reduce points of failure for your roll slitting felts operations.
• Recipe-based process management helps achieve uniform output and quality across shifts and locations.
• Heavy roll handling up to 2,000 kg adapts easily to different felt and geotextile products, ensuring robust, smooth transfer and storage.
• Proven performance with major manufacturers means scaled production and new product introduction are controlled and efficient.

Plant managers, engineers, and operators count on our roll slitting felts solutions for their reliability, responsive service, and clear, actionable support throughout the lifespan of the installation.
