    Advanced roll slitting and winding technology for high-quality production

    How to plan an airlaid production plant: reliable equipment and support

    Since the 1970s, CAMPEN Machinery A/S has helped nonwovens producers build reliable airlaid capacity. If you plan an airlaid production plant, we support you from early concept to stable operation. We design, supply and integrate robust airlaid equipment and complete supporting systems. Our focus is stable quality, efficient flow, realistic capacity and future flexibility.

    A well-planned airlaid production plant helps you control product quality and reduce external supply risk. It also gives you better control over raw materials, output and delivery times. We define safe process choices, practical layouts and clear project phases. From the first sketch to a running airlaid production line, we support your team with proven technical knowledge.

    Planning an airlaid line from concept to start-up

    Most projects start with one key question. What will it take to run your own airlaid manufacturing plant? We translate that question into a practical and documented plan. Together, we define space, product flows, utilities, safety needs and performance targets.

    For each airlaid production plant, we assess raw material handling, forming, bonding, cooling and winding. We also plan packaging, storage, service access and operator safety. This gives you a clear roadmap from building works to start-up.

    What the plant plan should include

    • Plant layout and space planning reduce transport routes and handling costs.
    • Internal logistics and roll handling help prevent damage and avoid downtime.
    • Safe traffic zones lower risk for operators and maintenance teams.
    • Winding and packaging concepts protect quality and support fast shipments.
    • Utilities, ventilation and dust filtration support clean and compliant operation.
    • Quality assurance and traceability processes support audits and approvals.
    • Raw material storage stabilises line feeding and basis weight control.
    • Integrated controls simplify operation and operator training.
    • Capacity planning aligns crew size, product mix and changeovers with demand.
    • Start-up support shortens the time to stable commercial output.

    This method helps you understand technical and operational needs before investment. It reduces risk and supports fact-based decisions on buildings, budgets and staff. You can also validate materials, recipes and line concepts through structured pilot testing before choosing the final configuration.

    Equipment for stable airlaid production

    Your airlaid production plant needs equipment that runs safely and consistently. We design airlaid machinery that is reliable, robust and easy to operate. Each module fits into a complete airlaid production facility with coherent controls. Clear operator interfaces help shorten training and reduce errors.

    Our process knowledge helps you achieve stable formation and clean operation. It also supports lower energy use and less waste. We align equipment choices with your product range, hygiene requirements and quality targets.

    Line features that support daily performance

    • Accurate forming and dosing improve basis weight control and reduce waste.
    • Uniform web bonding increases strength and reduces product variation.
    • Efficient dust extraction protects operators, machinery and product quality.
    • Filtration systems maintain clean production and reduce housekeeping needs.
    • Energy-efficient drives lower operating costs during continuous production.
    • Heat recovery reduces total energy demand where the process allows it.
    • Operator-friendly control panels and recipe control shorten changeovers.
    • Modular sections allow later upgrades with limited impact on uptime.

    We supply the airlaid equipment needed for a complete airlaid factory setup. This can include fibre preparation, forming, bonding, cooling, slitting, winding and packaging. Our controls team manages integration across the full airlaid production line. You get one responsible supplier with clear targets and documented acceptance tests.

    Project support for your production site

    CAMPEN has served the nonwovens industry since the 1970s. Our lines and upgrades operate in plants worldwide. This experience helps us understand daily production floor conditions. It also helps us design for new products, changing raw materials and higher output demands.

    What you can expect from CAMPEN

    • Complete line responsibility simplifies project management and communication.
    • Process support covers concept work, trials, factory acceptance, start-up and ramp-up.
    • Operator and maintenance training helps keep overall equipment effectiveness high.
    • Lifecycle service and spare parts help extend equipment life.
    • Upgrade planning increases capacity with controlled downtime.
    • Clear advice on capacity, cost drivers and technical risk.

    Whether you need a pilot line or a high-capacity mill, we scale the scope. We align design choices with your products, hygiene standards and local regulations. Our goal is a safe plant that meets specifications and supports profitable growth.

    Design choices that reduce project risk

    An airlaid production plant is a long-term investment. Early technical decisions affect building cost, operating cost and uptime. CAMPEN helps you compare line concepts, select the right capacity level and plan for future products. We also review access for cleaning, service and maintenance, so the plant stays practical after start-up.

    We focus on reliable output, stable web quality and controlled resource use. This includes the full flow from raw material intake to finished roll handling. By looking at the complete production system, we help reduce bottlenecks and improve daily operation.
