    Heavy-duty slitter rewinder solutions designed for efficient material processing

    Reliable belt accumulator solutions for stable nonwoven production

    Since the 1970s, CAMPEN Machinery A/S has supported nonwoven producers with reliable, robust equipment. Our Danish-made machines are known for easy operation and proven performance. The belt accumulator is a reliable solution essential for stable nonwoven production. It enables low-tension web handling, supports winder synchronisation, and protects delicate webs. We tailor every belt accumulator to your process, material, and production targets. The outcome is fewer stops, steady operation, and consistent roll quality shift after shift.

    Benefits of implementing belt accumulators in nonwoven lines

    A belt accumulator creates a stable buffer before the winder. This setup maintains continuous production during reel changes, winder speed changes, or unplanned line disturbances. The web moves over wide, driven belts with minimal contact pressure. This is particularly beneficial for sensitive nonwoven materials such as meltblown, wetlaid, and lightweight spunbond webs. The belt accumulator ensures reliable, tension-free accumulation and reduces the risk of web damage.

    During winder acceleration, deceleration, or splicing, tension spikes may threaten web integrity. Our belt accumulator minimises these risks. It provides smooth winder synchronisation and safeguards product quality. With fewer tears, less scrap, and steady roll builds, operational efficiency increases. This solution also integrates seamlessly into roll-to-roll handling systems, easily matching your line speed and layout requirements.

    • Buffers the web to ensure non-stop production during winder events.
    • Limits tension fluctuations to prevent web breaks in sensitive materials.
    • Facilitates low-tension handling for meltblown, wetlaid, and lightweight spunbond webs.
    • Promotes stable feed-in tension for high-quality, consistent rolls.
    • Enables operators to monitor the web condition and process status in real time.

    Design features protecting uptime and consistent quality

    Our engineering approach is clear: protect both uptime and web quality. Every CAMPEN belt accumulator is designed for reliable low-tension control and accurate web tracking. Drives, sensors, and automation features work together to keep the process stable from start to finish. This design reduces downtime, lowers scrap, and boosts final roll yield.

    • Closed-loop tension feedback helps prevent sudden spikes and web tearing.
    • Synchronised belt and winder drives enable smooth web acceleration and deceleration.
    • Advanced loop control ensures precise buffer capacity and stable flow.
    • Antistatic and heat-resistant belt variants protect both cold and warm webs.
    • Edge guiding maintains web centring, reducing the need for manual adjustments.
    • Accessible maintenance points and safety systems promote efficient, safe operation.
    • User-friendly HMI controls and recipe storage simplify set-up and product changeovers.

    Each function targets a specific process advantage: stable control shortens both downtime and rethreading; gentle belt handling protects web quality; accurate buffering aids splicing and roll changeovers. Thoughtful engineering, robust components, and clean layouts support reliable, long-life performance and manageable maintenance.

    Expert integration with ongoing technical support

    You benefit from our close working style and broad industrial experience. We start by analysing your web width, line speed, buffer needs, and available space. The right belt accumulator is then specified with matching controls, PLC, HMI, and safety system integration. We provide full documentation and training for trouble-free operator use.

    • Engineering support aligns buffer size, tension range, and control concepts to your material and throughput.
    • Factory pre-testing shortens installation and commissioning times on site.
    • Operator training improves safety and speeds changeovers.
    • Remote diagnostics and service agreements help maximise uptime on your belt accumulator.
    • Spare parts and upgrade support extend equipment life and keep your costs under control.

    Our team understands the challenges of splicing, handling lightweight webs, and avoiding web breaks during roll-to-roll transitions, even with sensitive meltblown or spunbond structures. With precise winder integration, robust tension control, and reliable buffer management, our belt accumulator solutions secure stable, quality-focused production for any nonwoven operation.
