Since the 1970s, leading nonwoven producers have turned to CAMPEN Machinery A/S to enhance safety, efficiency, and product quality. The accumulator before winder remains vital in achieving consistent, low-tension web handling and smooth roll changes. Acting as a buffer in your production process, it maintains stable web tension and lowers the risk of web breaks. With proven mechanical reliability and engineering expertise, we help you keep lines running from web formation to finished rolls, supporting higher quality output, fewer unplanned stops, and simple, efficient operation.
Manufacturing delicate fabrics such as meltblown, wetlaid, or lightweight spunbond demands robust yet gentle web handling. Our accumulator before winder is purpose-built for low-tension accumulation and controlled web transport. By using a full-width belt accumulator, you protect sensitive webs from sudden tension spikes and speed variations, reducing waste and ensuring high line uptime during roll changes, splicing, or any production adjustment.
Each accumulator is configured to fit your process and plant footprint. Key elements include gentle web infeed, precision loop regulation, and seamless synchronisation with winders for smooth accumulation and discharge—minimising web stress, stretching, or marking.
The accumulator before winder supports flawless production—whether you run continuous batches or manage frequent material and grade changes—delivering reliable throughput and uniform web quality across your entire output.
The wide, driven belt system carries the web over its full width. This design eliminates localised pressure points, preventing product marks and preserving delicate fibre structures. Both web entry and exit are carefully managed for predictable, safe web transfer, vital to keeping structure and binder intact in nonwoven materials.
Integrated sensors track accumulator fill level and continuously monitor web loop positions. Automatic speed regulation ensures consistent buffer size and precise web tension, even if the winder or upstream process speeds fluctuate. This prevents tension surges and protects the web from stress during any disturbance or changeover.
The accumulator before winder operates in close synchronisation with your winder.
This coordination enables controlled accumulation and discharge during roll changes, doffing, or line stops. As a result, your web runs at steady, low tension, supporting optimum roll build, perfect edges, and a lower risk of defects or deformation.
