turret type unwinder systems for nonwovens and technical textiles

Since the 1970s, CAMPEN Machinery A/S has supplied robust turret type unwinder solutions for nonwovens and technical textiles. Our engineering teams combine proven components with precise controls and a focus on quality. Each turret type unwinder ensures stable, continuous production, enabling fast and safe roll changes while maintaining consistent web tension. Manufacturers rely on our equipment for its reliable performance, ease of operation, and minimal downtime. From high-speed lines to special narrow formats, every turret type unwinder is configured for your specific process requirements and product goals.

How turret type unwinders improve efficiency in nonwoven production

Our turret type unwinders are designed for demanding nonwoven and technical textile operations. They function as standalone units or as integrated parts of complete production lines. When combined with automated turret winding or turret slitter rewinder systems, our unwinders support continuous material flow and precise roll transitions, making roll change efficient and reliable.

These solutions handle a wide variety of substrates, including airlaid, spunlace, felt, roof underlay, geotextiles, and fibreglass. User-friendly machine interfaces and easy maintenance access help operators and technicians reduce downtime. Long service life and cost-effective operation make our systems a reliable choice for nonwoven producers focused on quality and productivity.

Automatic roll change minimises downtime and material waste during production shifts.
Cantilevered shafts enable safer, faster roll handling, easing the physical burden on operators.
Servo-driven tension control upholds uniform web tension, supporting top roll quality at every speed.
Integrated edge trim and slitting capabilities reduce the need for further downstream processing.
Optional cross cutting supports clean, straight cuts, ideal for thick or high-density nonwovens.
Compact, CE-certified construction means easy installation and low floor space usage.
Handles production speeds up to 350 m/min for high-throughput demands.
Accommodates rolls up to ø1500 mm and 500 kg (specification dependent).

We provide a complete turret type unwinder system, matched to your turret winder and turret slitter rewinder layout for a fully optimised nonwoven line.

Stable and precise web handling for demanding applications

Each turret type unwinder is engineered to deliver reliable feeding and error-free roll changes. Flying splice technology ensures seamless transitions, upholding product consistency. Our design suits everything from lightweight nonwovens to heavy-duty fabrics, in both wide and narrow web formats.

Key technical features that make a difference

Cantilever turret shafts allow for fast, easy roll loading and quick changeovers to limit production stops.
Automatic flying splice occurs at predefined diameters, so roll changes happen without line interruption.
Servo-based tension management instantly reacts to speed and diameter fluctuations, maintaining stable web movement.
Edge trim and in-line slitting save production time by delivering ready-to-use widths directly from the unwinder.
Dedicated cross cutter delivers clean, low-dust cuts, reducing fibre debris and uneven edges.
Proven operation at up to 350 m/min to increase output without compromising web quality.
Supports large rolls (up to ø1500 mm), enabling longer runs between changes and boosting uptime.

Turret type unwinders from CAMPEN are in use for technical textiles found in geotextiles, airlaid, spunlace, roof underlay, and flooring applications. Flexible designs also support specialty formats and integrate smoothly with turret winder or turret rewinder setups.

Simple integration, powerful controls, and certified operator safety

Integrate your turret type unwinder with web forming, winding, or slitting lines for streamlined layouts. CAMPEN’s solutions feature straightforward PLC controls, full recipe management, and data logging as standard—helping operators and quality managers monitor quality and troubleshoot efficiently.

Closed-loop tension management with load cells or dancer arms maintains precise control during line speed changes.
User-friendly HMI offers simple set-up, alarm handling, and recipe storage, reducing training time and errors.
CE-certified machine guarding with interlocks protects operators and upholds regulatory standards.
Remote diagnostics and reliable spare parts supply keep your production line running without unexpected delays.
Full compatibility with turret winder, turret rewinder, and turret slitter rewinder for seamless process integration.

Production engineers benefit from reliable equipment that supports continuous operation, while plant owners enjoy the stability and cost efficiency that improves nonwoven line ROI. By feeding a steady, tensioned web to downstream turret winders or slitter rewinders, the CAMPEN turret type unwinder reduces waste and maximises throughput.

All turret type unwiinder units are built with a robust frame and high-quality, easy-to-maintain components for lasting performance. Comprehensive installation, training, and technical support extend the life and capability of your machinery as your production needs change.

Configurable turret type unwinder solutions to match your needs

CAMPEN turret type unwinders can be supplied for a wide range of line speeds, roll sizes, and web specifications. Choose between stand-alone unwinders, integrated turret rewinders, or complete setups with in-line slitting and edge trimming. Complete your installation with a servo-driven turret winder for a compact, CE-certified and scalable processing line—built for reliability and continuous production in the nonwoven sector.
