    Advanced roll slitting and winding technology for high-quality production

    Airlaid feasibility study with CAMPEN: reliable testing and process guidance

    Since the 1970s, CAMPEN Machinery A/S has supported nonwovens producers worldwide. We supply reliable, robust and easy-to-operate airlaid equipment.

    An airlaid feasibility study helps you confirm technical feasibility before investment. You receive clear data, practical samples and realistic process guidance before you commit capital.

    We run structured airlaid feasibility testing in our dedicated test centre. Our engineers help you assess product quality, process stability, recipe development and scale-up needs.

    Why choose CAMPEN for an airlaid feasibility study

    An airlaid feasibility study with CAMPEN gives you practical proof early. We test your concept, raw materials and production route under controlled conditions.

    Our engineers understand the complete airlaid process, from forming to winding. We focus on measurable results that support safe investment decisions.

    Your airlaid proof of concept can include fibre blends, SAP and binders. We also test natural fibres, synthetic fibres and different bonding options.

    • Lower investment risk: feasibility trials can confirm technical limits before capital is committed.
    • Faster development: recipe development helps improve settings and product performance early.
    • Better quality: controlled testing can improve uniformity, strength and absorption.
    • Clearer cost planning: results help support realistic CAPEX and OPEX estimates.
    • Safer scale-up: process data helps maintain stability in production.

    CAMPEN has supplied airlaid equipment and process support since the 1970s. We understand production needs, operator safety and maintenance requirements.

    What your feasibility trials can document

    Each airlaid feasibility study starts with your product targets and constraints. We define success criteria for quality, stability, throughput and documentation.

    Typical targets include basis weight, thickness, density, absorption and tensile strength. We also assess dust level, web stability and bonding performance.

    Raw material testing and airlaid forming

    Raw material testing can show how your fibres behave in production. This helps reduce assumptions and supports better recipe decisions.

    We can test pulp grades, bicomponent fibres, synthetic fibres and SAP. We can also assess fibre length, denier and moisture effects.

    Airlaid forming trials help document web uniformity and edge stability. You see the achievable grammage range and possible machine speed.

    Bonding options and product properties

    We evaluate thermal bonding, latex bonding or other relevant bonding options. This helps you choose a route that supports quality and cost targets.

    We adjust temperature, add-on and nip settings during the trial. These settings can help reach target strength, softness and web integrity.

    Quality testing can include basis weight distribution, thickness and density. We can also test tensile strength, TEA, absorption time and capacity.

    • Recipe development: structured trials can map trade-offs between cost and performance.
    • Process window: stable settings help keep quality within specification.
    • Quality evidence: reports and samples support internal and customer decisions.
    • Operational insight: production data can help improve uptime and reduce waste.

    We compile results in a clear report with practical recommendations. If targets are not met, we propose next steps for improvement.

    How an airlaid feasibility study works

    A structured airlaid feasibility study follows clear steps and milestones. This gives you control over scope, costs and technical outputs.

    • Discovery: we review your concept, product targets and raw materials.
    • Trial plan: we define feasibility testing and proof-of-concept activities.
    • Execution: we run trials on our industrial airlaid test line.
    • Measurement: we verify product properties, stability and process window.
    • Documentation: you receive samples, data and practical recommendations.

    After testing, we translate findings into production line requirements. You receive guidance on forming, bonding, web handling and controls.

    We can outline expected speed, energy use and staffing needs. If you proceed, we can design a line around your targets.

    Airlaid test line and test centre support

    Our airlaid test line is designed for realistic process development. It helps you validate airlaid technology before moving to production scale.

    You can visit our test centre and take part in trials. We keep communication clear, with defined timelines and direct feedback.

    The test centre gives your team access to industrial process conditions. This supports more reliable conclusions than laboratory testing alone.

    During trials, our engineers review air distribution, fibre dosing and web transfer. They also assess bonding control, cooling, winding and material handling.

    Using test results for investment planning

    If you buy airlaid externally, an airlaid feasibility study is a practical next step. It helps confirm what you can produce in-house.

    You gain evidence for your investment case and production plan. The results can support discussions with management, customers and technical partners.

    We can use trial data to define the main line configuration. This includes forming width, bonding method, automation level and downstream equipment.

    Our team also considers maintenance access, operator safety and efficient cleaning. These factors support robust production and stable long-term performance.

    A well-planned airlaid feasibility study reduces uncertainty before scale-up. It gives your team a stronger basis for technical and commercial decisions.
