Reliable winders and roll handling solutions for your production needs

Since the late 1970s, CAMPEN Machinery A/S has designed and delivered reliable, robust winders and roll handling solutions for nonwovens, geotextiles, and technical textiles. We focus on consistent product quality, safe operation, and reducing total cost of ownership. Our systems feature strong mechanical construction and precise controls, supporting high uptime and stable processes throughout your production. As a solution-oriented partner, we listen to your needs, conduct trials, and adapt equipment to optimise your manufacturing goals.

You can count on support from initial web trials all the way to commissioning. Our winders and roll handling equipment is easy to operate and built for continuous production. Whether you handle delicate spunlace or heavy geotextile, we ensure your conversion processes run safely, efficiently, and at speed.

Tailored winding and roll handling solutions for precise outcomes

Each production line is different. CAMPPEN develops winders and roll handling systems precisely matched to your materials and performance requirements. Our portfolio covers centre-driven winders, surface winders, and servo-controlled winding using closed-loop tension management. This approach enables constant web tension, uniform roll hardness, and repeatable roll build—delivering stable quality and enhanced efficiency. We support both in-line winding for new installations and off-line rewinding for additional process flexibility.

All features are chosen to provide tangible improvements at operator level. Automatic roll change and fully automatic winders help maximise uptime and reduce manual workload. If your lines require frequent product changes, recipe management and data logging help keep quality consistent. For demanding applications with heavy materials, our geotextile winding equipment offers reinforced shafts and drives for reliable, robust handling.

• Automatic roll change minimises downtime and boosts output.
• Accumulators and splice tables let you run continuously through roll changes.
• Hot-melt start and end fixation secures edges and limits roll telescoping.
• Advanced slitting and rewinding delivers narrow rolls with clean edges and low dust.
• Centre-driven winders manage tension on thin or elastic materials.
• Surface winding creates dense, even rolls of bulky nonwovens.

For high-speed roll conversion, we combine fast mechanics with precision drive control. Uniform roll build is maintained even as diameter increases, reducing rejects and supporting smooth downstream operations.

Integrated roll handling and packaging for streamlined production

True reliability means linking winders and roll handling into a seamless operation. CAMPEN engineers full roll flow, from winding through discharge and handling to warehouse, optimising every stage. Our roll handling equipment includes doffing, weighing, labelling, wrapping, and palletising modules, so you reduce manual handling and improve operator safety. Integrated packaging systems help ensure continuous processes with full traceability, supporting lean manufacturing and reducing labour costs.

Our systems serve everything from small utility rolls to wide master rolls. We build roll turners, conveyors, shaft handling, and automatic core or tube feeding to suit your factory layout. Compact, easy-to-maintain solutions suit limited floor space. For challenging goods such as geosynthetics, reinforced cradles and powered conveyors secure rolls during transfer.

• Integrated packaging lowers handling costs and cuts the risk of product damage.
• Automated core or tube feeding stabilises each cycle and reduces manual strain.
• In-line winding with downstream packing reduces work-in-progress and frees up space.
• Off-line rewinding allows inspection, defect removal, and targeted roll finishing.
• Barcode and labelling systems enable full traceability and fast shipping.
• Design prioritises safety, using guards and interlocks to protect personnel and assets.

From artificial leather and plastic film to airlaid and technical felts, CAMPEN winders and roll handling are configured to your specific applications. Integration options include MES connectivity and interfaces for AGVs or robotic palletisation, supporting automated workflows.

Full-lifecycle support and technical expertise

For more than 40 years, CAMPEN has delivered winders and roll handling technology built on proven engineering and deep process expertise. Our support starts with comprehensive process analysis and simulation, followed by detailed specifications and factory acceptance testing. We provide realistic project schedules and clear layouts, so you know exactly what to expect before your system is delivered.

After installation, our commitment continues with remote support, maintenance, and quick spare parts supply. We provide preventive maintenance and upgrades to extend equipment service life and further improve reliability and safety. Operator and maintenance training is available to help your team run the system with confidence and efficiency.

• High reliability for 24/7 production, reducing unplanned stops and scrap rates.
• Solutions engineered for wide materials ensure stable roll geometry and safe handling.
• Our nonwoven process knowledge means equipment is tuned for your fibre, binder, and finishing needs.
• Data logging and diagnostics support quality control and continuous improvement programmes.
• Comprehensive manuals and CE compliance simplify audits and validation processes.

We are ready to advise on your winders and roll handling project—covering materials, production speeds, roll formats, and downstream integration.
