Buffer and accumulator solutions for meltblown filter media handling

For over fifty years, CAMPEN Machinery A/S has delivered reliable, robust, and easy-to-operate solutions for nonwoven producers. In the production of meltblown filter media, controlling web tension and handling is critical. Our custom belt and web accumulator systems secure low-tension web handling before winding. This minimises tension peaks and helps prevent web breaks, ensuring high roll quality at every stage. We work closely with your teams to integrate reliable mechanics and controls into your process, from concept to commissioning. With CAMPEN, your meltblown filter media line operates with stable uptime, measurable output, and full support from proven engineers.

Advanced buffer and accumulation solutions for sensitive webs

Production of meltblown filter media and other lightweight nonwoven materials requires careful management of web tension. Our belt accumulator and web accumulator systems act as a buffer before the winding process. This is especially important during roll changes, splicing, or speed adjustments. CAMPEN systems decouple upstream variations, maintaining product integrity and delivering uniform, tension-free accumulation.

We tailor every solution to suit web width, running speeds, and available space in your roll-to-roll line. Using wide, low-pressure belts and accurate loop control, our systems eliminate local stress points. This protects the fibre structure of meltblown, wetlaid, and lightweight spunbond media. As a result, filtration properties and product consistency are preserved, and the risk of waste due to web breaks is reduced.

• Low-tension accumulation helps prevent web breaks and material loss during roll changes.
• Belt design and uniform support ensure filtration performance is maintained throughout handling.
• Closed-loop, servo-driven controls smooth tension spikes and maintain consistent web flow.
• Compacted designs allow easy integration into both new and existing lines with limited space.
• Simple threading and wide access improve operator safety and speed up changeovers.

Using CAMPEN’s web accumulator technology, you gain predictable, stress-free web handling and fewer process interruptions. Explore our web accumulator technology for efficient winder synchronisation and reliable meltblown filter media production.

Reliable mechanics and smart controls for stable operation

CAMPEN accumulators combine robust, large-diameter rollers and wide belts with lightweight idlers. These features reduce contact pressure on sensitive meltblown filter media. All roller and belt surfaces are carefully selected for gentle product transport and are easy to clean, supporting media quality and process hygiene.

Control systems are engineered for synchronisation with any winder or downstream process. Sensors monitor loop position and speed continuously. The programmable logic controller (PLC) coordinates every motion to maintain stable web tension, especially during process events like splicing, line acceleration, or stop-start cycles.

• Servo-driven systems enable rapid adjustment and maintain precise tension at all speeds.
• Automatic loop management allows clean buffering without overstressing the web.
• Detects tension spikes and web breaks quickly to initiate safe stops and avoid waste.
• Operator-friendly interfaces simplify setup and make operation repeatable for all shifts.
• Modular integration with upstream and downstream drives, PLCs, and safety systems.

CAMPEN web accumulators are CE-compliant and can be configured to meet requirements for everything from pilot lines to full-scale meltblown filter media production. Stable, low-tension handling is ensured shift after shift, supporting both product quality and high overall equipment effectiveness.

Comprehensive partner for nonwoven handling solutions

With decades of experience supporting nonwoven producers in Europe and worldwide, CAMPEN understands how mechanics, alignment, and contact pressure influence both the performance and throughput of filter media. From the first project meeting, we analyse your specific needs for meltblown filter media: web properties, line speeds, and integration essentials.

Our team defines correct setpoints, tests loop stability, and validates accumulation performance with your actual product specifications. During installation, we tune every detail for your line layout. Operators and maintenance staff receive hands-on training to guarantee safe, efficient operations from day one.

• Engineering expertise to help define setpoints and handling strategies for sensitive and lightweight webs.
• Flexible, modular designs adapt to meltblown, wetlaid, or spunbond nonwoven lines.
• Ongoing technical support, remote diagnostics, and fast access to spare parts.
• Data collection options offer connections for line OEE and process analytics.
