Slitter rewinder for airlaid—robust, reliable winding for nonwovens

Since the 1970s, CAMPEN Machinery A/S has supported nonwoven manufacturers with stable, high-performance winding equipment. Our slitter rewinder for airlaid combines robust engineering and advanced tension control for consistent results, reliable uptime and operator safety. Each solution is tailored to match your material, site layout and production goals. With clear technical advice and responsive service, you benefit from proven technology and focused project support.

Optimising airlaid web handling and roll quality

Airlaid materials demand sensitive handling and precise control to maintain their bulk, density and clean roll structure. Our turret slitter rewinder for airlaid uses servo-driven systems to control web tension across a wide range of speeds and web widths. The cantilever turret architecture streamlines roll changeover and helps minimise installation footprint. Integrated flying splice allows for automatic roll change without stopping production, which protects both operators and material integrity.

Complete web tension management prevents defects associated with soft edges or telescoping rolls. Customisable slitting heads and integrated edge trim ensure you achieve accurate, dust-minimised cutting with neat roll profiles. These features help nonwoven producers achieve top product quality and high output, especially for airlaid wipes, absorbents, medical textiles, technical felts and filtration media.

• Cantilever turret design helps minimize downtime and maximise floor space.
• Automatic flying splice provides safe, continuous operation for greater efficiency.
• Servo drive keeps tension uniform for each roll profile and width configuration.
• Custom roller coatings and nip controls are adapted for delicate or engineered nonwovens.
• Integrated inline slitting and trim help reduce rework and waste across the line.

Our mechanical and control solutions are configured to your process, from inline airlaid production to standalone winding and converting. Options cover a range of grammages, widths and line layouts for efficient integration.

Maximising productivity, throughput and operational safety

The turret slitter rewinder for airlaid is engineered for easy start-up, continuous high-speed winding and simplified operation. Designed for rolls up to ø1500 mm and a capacity of approximately 500 kg, it addresses typical airlaid production needs while delivering maximum speed of up to 350 metres per minute, depending on line parameters. The system ensures stable web flow and tension consistency, delivering reliable roll hardness and reduced scrap.

Operators benefit from an intuitive touch-screen HMI, safe machine access and full CE-marked safety features. Automated core handling, synchronised roll unloading and streamlined knife positioning are available for enhanced productivity and fewer manual interventions. These features contribute to a safe and efficient workflow with minimal user training.

• Turret winding technology prepares new cores while the line continues running at speed.
• Core guides and flying splice support precision web transfer with minimal loss.
• Closed-loop controls and web edge guidance systems help cut process variability.
• High-efficiency drives support energy savings and reliable operation on every shift.
• Compact machine design allows straightforward integration with upstream and downstream processes.

Standard safety systems include interlocked shields, light barriers and emergency stop circuits. The slitter rewinder for airlaid allows easy maintenance access and fast service, with globally available spares for quick support.

Integrated solutions and long-term support for nonwovens

Our slitter rewinder for airlaid can be delivered as a fully integrated part of airlaid lines with forming, bonding, drying and packing equipment. CAMPEN engineers ensure that mechanical systems, automation and software align for full plant connectivity and short commissioning. Recipe and production data integration to MES or plant management systems is standard, supporting real-time monitoring and process optimisation.

Configuration options cover turret unwinding, dust collection, automated finished roll removal, cross cutting and easy slit-width changeovers. By combining reliable modules and site-specific adaptations, we help you optimise layout, material flows and uptimes. Operator training, remote diagnostics and clear user documentation are always included to secure fast ramp-up and ongoing high performance. Leading nonwoven producers rely on CAMPEN systems for continuous quality and efficiency.

• Expertise in nonwovens since the 1970s helps reduce project risk and accelerates delivery.
• Pilot testing and acceptance trials confirm performance before full-scale launch.
• User training and accessible technical manuals ensure safe daily operation.
• Remote diagnostics and worldwide support services maximise production uptime.
• Our solutions are in use globally for wipes, absorbents, filtration, roofing, automotive and geotextile products.
