Since the 1970s, CAMPEN Machinery A/S has provided reliable airlaid roll conversion equipment to leading nonwoven producers. Our solutions for airlaid roll conversion focus on safety, consistent quality and total production cost. We combine robust mechanical engineering with advanced automation, giving you stable operation, repeatable results and responsive support. From stand-alone slitter rewinders to fully integrated roll conversion lines, we ensure reliable, easy-to-operate systems designed for continuous production.
Our airlaid roll conversion machinery is engineered to handle heavy mother rolls and demanding, high-speed manufacturing environments. The shaftless unwinding unit with hydraulic loading reduces changeover times and improves operator safety. An automatic web guiding system and precise tension control maintain consistent web path across the roll width, keeping fibre structure intact and ensuring high product quality.
We offer flexible slitter rewinder options. Select between razor, shear or crush knife slitting to match your material and product requirements. Our automated knife positioning system shortens setup times while supporting reliable width reductions. A dedicated trim extraction system keeps the line clean and minimises dust generation. Choose from centre or surface rewinding, including turret rewinders, for various roll formats and downstream transport needs.
All machines are CE-compliant and equipped with comprehensive safety guarding. We can integrate inline inspection, dust removal, and recipe-driven automation—each system is robust, easy to operate and designed for rapid installation into your facility.
Precise slitting is critical in airlaid roll conversion. Our high-stiffness knife system offers easy access for setup and maintenance. Razor slitting is suited for thin, uniform webs, while crush and shear knives manage heavier or reinforced grades. You can use several knife types across the same web, supporting diverse applications and product families.
Automated knife positioning provides quick, repeatable roll width changeovers. Accurate web guiding maintains edge quality for precise trimming. Closed-loop tension zones protect sensitive edges and maintain consistent thickness. Controlled trim extraction removes waste, ensuring a clean process environment and better material yield.
For length reduction, we use precise meter-counting and roll diameter measurement. Turret rewinders reduce manual intervention and machine stops, improving throughput. Automatic roll discharge improves safety and consistency. All conversion line features are designed to deliver your quality, efficiency and output goals while maintaining a clean, controlled production floor.
We provide integrated mother roll handling with jumbo roll logistics to manage airlaid roll flow. Robust transport and loading solutions protect both roll cores and edges, minimising damage and loss. PLC controls with recipe management automate format changes and safety routines for quick, consistent switchover. System connectivity ensures smooth integration with MES and supports order or batch tracking for full traceability.
CAMPEN has supplied airlaid roll conversion projects to nonwoven specialists, hygiene product makers and industrial convertors across Europe and globally. Our deep technical experience guides the specification of tension zones, nip settings and lay-on systems to match the behaviour of various airlaid materials. This results in consistent performance, less operator adjustment and fewer rejects.
Common applications include converting wide mother rolls into narrower formats, preparing rolls for lamination, printing, or downstream processing, and meter-based batch conversion. Our solutions also address the needs of technical textile, composite and hygiene product producers, adapting to any custom width or diameter requirements.
Share your project goals and material parameters to receive tailored technical recommendations for your airlaid roll conversion process. We assess your product samples, select the right slitting and rewinding setup, and determine optimal web handling for peak efficiency. You receive a documented solution design, clear project timeline and agreement on all functional requirements. Our engineering team supports you from factory testing and acceptance to final commissioning—delivering reliable, quality results on schedule.
