automatic slitter rewinder for industrial production from CAMPEN

Since the 1970s, CAMPEN Machinery A/S has delivered reliable automatic slitter rewinder technology to manufacturers across Europe. Our products stand out for robust engineering, precise slitting, and consistent roll quality. Each automatic slitter rewinder supports continuous use, stable uptime, and safe handling. We focus on integrating your process flow, ensuring our machines work seamlessly with upstream and downstream equipment. Whether you process nonwovens, films, or technical textiles, a CAMPEN automatic slitter rewinder lets you convert wide webs into quality rolls with confidence and efficiency.

Engineered solutions for challenging converting environments

The CAMPEN automatic slitter rewinder is designed for demanding industrial applications. Its heavy-duty frame and advanced drive system are built to handle large-diameter and high-weight rolls. Shaftless unwinding with hydraulic loading makes roll changes faster and more ergonomic. The slitter rewinder’s automatic web guiding and closed-loop tension control systems maintain straight web paths, consistent roll profiles, and accurate slitting.

Many production lines benefit from integrated dust extraction and filtration, as these systems help keep the environment clean, especially when working with fibrous or dusty substrates. Inline inspection identifies defects early, helping to protect downstream yield and reduce waste. Advanced tension control tackles common issues such as wrinkles, telescoping, and edge wander.

• Automatic web guiding reduces edge drift and keeps roll widths within specification.
• Hydraulic loading and shaftless unwind boost productivity and improve operator safety.
• Robust mother roll handling supports jumbo rolls and minimises manual intervention.
• CE-compliant guarding and clear diagnostics lower operational risks and simplify maintenance.

We can supply complete roll transport systems that automate roll discharge, cutting manual lifting to a minimum and streamlining product flow between processes. These solutions ensure smooth operation and easy maintenance shift after shift.

Achieving high-precision slitting and rewinding

Our automatic slitter rewinder uses a precision knife system tailored to your web type. Select razor blades for thin films, shear knives for technical textiles, or crush blades for soft materials. An automatic knife positioning feature shortens setup time and ensures accuracy for repeat jobs. Edge trimming and reliable trim extraction remove offcuts, maintain clear web paths, and support dust reduction around the slitting zone.

You can choose between centre or surface rewinding, or configure a combination as needed for your process and finished roll quality. Turret rewinders allow unwinding, slitting, and discharge to overlap, increasing production efficiency. These capabilities help meet critical requirements for narrow slit widths and stable roll builds.

• Flexible knife positioning delivers narrow cuts with optimised edge waste and reduced cost.
• Accurate width reduction at high speeds matches demanding customer requirements.
• Multiple rewind options ensure controlled roll building and uniform roll hardness.
• Effective trim removal helps preserve knife performance and reduces downtime.

Whether your focus is roll width or roll length reduction, CAMPEN’s automatic slitter rewinder delivers reliable, repeatable results. Roll-to-roll converting can be executed smoothly, and finished rolls arrive ready for further packaging, lamination, or printing. Integration with upstream or downstream automation is straightforward via open interfaces.

Streamlined automation for safe and efficient operation

A PLC-controlled automation system and intuitive HMI make operation straightforward. Recipe management allows fast changeovers and supports batch process consistency. Automatic core loading and step-by-step guided web threading help operators work safely and efficiently. Remote support and production data logging make continuous improvement achievable.

Our automatic slitter rewinder adapts to diverse material types and production requirements. Key applications include converting large mother rolls into smaller finished rolls, producing narrow slit formats, and trimming edges ahead of further processing. Every function is aimed at maximising safety, efficiency, and product quality.

• Integrated roll handling automation reduces manual tasks and boosts safety.
• Inline inspection and recipe control help minimise waste and standardise quality.
• Open communication interfaces enable MES and line integration for greater transparency and traceability.
• Configurable tension strategies optimise results for nonwovens, packaging films, and technical textiles.

We support nonwoven manufacturers, packaging producers, hygiene suppliers, and technical material converters. Our engineering matches knife selection, web routing, and tension strategies to your needs.
