Develop reliable biodegradable airlaid production with CAMPEN

For decades, CAMPEN Machinery A/S has helped manufacturers commercialise robust nonwoven products. We have designed and supplied airlaid and converting equipment since the 1970s. Today, we support biodegradable airlaid production with tested technology, process insight and reliable equipment.

Our focus is clear. We help you develop fibre-based products with stable quality, controlled cost and measurable performance. You can test plastic-free airlaid concepts, biodegradable fibres, recycled fibres and sustainable airlaid recipes before you invest in a full production line.

Develop biodegradable airlaid production with tested recipes

Pilot testing and material screening

Successful biodegradable airlaid production starts with the right recipe. CAMPEN helps you test raw materials, bonding methods and process settings in a structured way. This reduces uncertainty and supports faster product development.

Our airlaid test centre can evaluate natural fibres, pulp, biodegradable fibres, recycled fibres and upcycled materials. Together, we screen raw materials, define recipe options and identify stable process windows. Trials can cover forming, bonding, drying, calendering and winding.

Confident decisions: Pilot runs can quantify quality, yield and production cost.
Faster development: Short test cycles help reduce time to market.
Lower investment risk: Proof of concept can support funding and approval.
Material flexibility: Recipe testing can support plastic-free or compostable claims.

Application-focused results

We test against the products you want to manufacture. These can include hygiene cores, wipes, tabletop products, absorbent pads, filtration media or fibre-based packaging. We help define targets for basis weight, bulk, absorption, dust level and strength.

Our team translates product targets into practical process settings. This gives you a documented route from lab concept to stable biodegradable airlaid production. It also helps you compare internal production with external supply options.

Technology for stable biodegradable airlaid production

Forming and bonding options

CAMPEN airlaid lines handle pulp, natural fibres, biodegradable fibres and recycled fibres. Precision dosing and web forming help deliver even basis weight and high uptime. This supports repeatable quality in biodegradable airlaid production.

You can choose bonding options that match your product and sustainability goals. Options can include thermobonding, latex-free chemistries, biopolymer binders or mechanical bonding. Through-air drying and accurate temperature control help protect fibre properties.

Stable quality: Uniform forming helps reduce waste and customer complaints.
Lower energy use: Efficient drying and air handling can reduce operating cost.
Clean operation: Dust extraction and filtration help protect operators.
Recipe control: Automated setpoints help keep production within tolerance.

Automation, safety and operation

We supply PLC control, recipe management and clear HMI systems. Operators get intuitive screens, alarms and production trends. Quick-change parts support shorter runs, pilot batches and recipe trials.

Machine guarding and CE-compliant safety systems help protect your team. Our equipment is reliable, robust and easy to operate. We also support your line with service, spare parts and practical process guidance.

Higher uptime: Robust mechanics and remote support help reduce stoppages.
Predictable costs: Service plans and spare parts support stable operating expenses.
Scalable growth: Modular line design helps expand capacity when needed.

Build a business case for in-house production

Control recipes, cost and supply

Many producers buy airlaid materials from external suppliers. In-house biodegradable airlaid production can give you more control over recipes, cost and supply. It can also help you differentiate products with plastic-free airlaid materials.

You can protect material recipes and respond faster to customer briefs. You can also adjust fibre mix, bonding method and basis weight for each application. This helps you meet performance targets while managing production cost.

Product advantage: Tailored recipes can support plastic-free airlaid claims.
Supply security: Internal production can reduce external lead-time risk.
Cost control: Recipe optimisation helps balance fibres, binders and energy use.
Compliance support: Material testing can support changing EU requirements.

End-use options and packaging potential

Airlaid without plastic can support new absorbent products and fibre-based packaging. CAMPEN helps you adjust stiffness, absorption and handling for downstream converting or packaging lines. Recipes with recycled fibres or upcycled materials can support your sustainability targets.

Our team benchmarks samples against current market materials. We then recommend changes to raw materials, bonding or process settings. The outcome is a data-backed path for biodegradable airlaid production that fits your brand, process and customers.

Market relevance: Trials help align properties with hygiene, wipes or packaging needs.
Faster qualification: Structured testing can support customer approvals.
Repeatable quality: Training and operating procedures help secure stable output across shifts.

Plan your route from test to full-scale line

Bring your concept, material targets and timeline. We will assess your materials, plan pilot trials and outline a practical route to production. You receive clear input on quality, capacity and cost before moving forward.

If the case is strong, we design a line that matches your scale and growth plan. If it is not ready, you save time and capital. This makes pilot testing a practical first step towards reliable biodegradable airlaid production.
