Automatic winder for laminates – robust, efficient, easy to operate

Since the 1970s, CAMPEN Machinery A/S has delivered reliable solutions that help manufacturers achieve stable, high-quality production. Each automatic winder for laminates is designed and built to support demanding industrial requirements. We listen to your needs, engineer the right solution, deliver robust machines, and provide ongoing support. Our automatic winders for laminates combine proven mechanical design with advanced controls to ensure safety, efficiency, and repeatable results. Whether you operate in-line or off-line, we help increase uptime and reduce waste.

Advanced winding technology for stable production

Drawing on over four decades of experience, CAMPEN’s automatic winder for laminates uses both centre-driven and surface-driven systems, backed by a closed-loop tension control system. Servo-controlled winding ensures your laminates remain flat and stable throughout roll formation. Automatic roll change features and high-speed roll conversion secure uninterrupted production, reducing manual intervention and operator fatigue.

Our machines are built with a rigid, easy-to-maintain frame. Safety and ergonomic considerations are integrated at every stage. With reliable nonwoven roll handling, consistent splice strength, and accurate edge control, every automatic winder for laminates delivers robust operation and long service intervals. These features help technical textiles and laminates manufacturers lower waste and maximise uptime.

• Consistent roll quality: advanced tension control keeps web tension stable and prevents common winding issues like bagginess and telescoping.
• Fewer production stops: fully automatic roll change and in-line winding increase your process efficiency.
• Less material waste: smart acceleration and deceleration protect sensitive laminates from wrinkles and damage.
• Enhanced operator safety: clearly guarded nip points and safe threading stations minimise risks for staff.
• Flexible design: customisable for wide nonwoven or laminate webs and large-diameter rolls.
• Continuous operation: proven in 24/7 production environments for laminates and technical textiles.

Customisable solutions for diverse materials and processes

CAMPEN’s automatic winder for laminates is tailored for your production line, whether you need in-line or off-line solutions. Choose between winding immediately after lamination, or opt for rewinding to support quality inspection, slitting, and reworking. Our technology handles a broad spectrum of products—geosynthetics, geotextiles, spunlace, airlaid, faux leather, fiberglass, felt, and nonwoven fabrics as well as films and technical laminates.

Centre-driven winders ensure precise tension management for elastic or thin materials, while surface-driven designs protect surface finish and core properties when required. Integrated slitting and rewinding technology provides clean edge trim and facilitates the production of multiple narrow rolls. Geotextile winding and nonwoven roll handling are supported by robust construction for superior throughput.

• Automatic tube feeding reduces manual intervention, allowing faster and safer roll changes.
• Hot-melt anchoring at both roll start and end ensures the laminate stays securely fixed.
• Integrated packaging features automate roll wrapping, labelling, and palletising.
• Accumulators stabilise the web and enable seamless splice-on-the-fly roll changes at production speed.
• Edge guiding and lay-on systems help create consistently compact rolls.
• Recipe-based controls allow quick, reliable adjustment when switching between laminate types.

From polyethylene film to complex multilayer technical laminates, every automatic winder for laminates is built in line with your requirements for width, thickness, and maximum roll weight. This ensures predictable roll geometry and reliable production values, shift after shift.

Easy control, efficient data, and process integration

Each automatic winder for laminates comes equipped with a modern control platform featuring servo drives, industrial PLCs, and a user-friendly HMI. Operators can select pre-set recipes, adjust nip, set torque, and define web tension parameters. The closed-loop tension control system monitors key values continuously, adjusting as necessary to maintain product integrity. This is especially critical during automatic roll change or when ramping production up or down.

Our control systems interface with upstream laminators and downstream packaging equipment, supporting fully automated workflows. Signals coordinate roll change, packaging, and labelling to ensure the most efficient handling process. Data logging provides traceability, energy consumption metrics, and real-time production reporting for easier audits and smarter decisions. Optional IIoT connectivity and remote support further reduce downtime and support efficient maintenance schedules.

• Maintain line speed: high-speed roll conversion and splice features prevent unnecessary stops.
• Efficient troubleshooting: detailed alarm and diagnostics systems reduce downtime.
• Energy savings: all drives are energy efficient, minimising operating costs and heat output.
• Operator and product safety: certified CE-compliant safety features are standard.
• Versatile production: off-line rewinding modules help recover faulty rolls and improve material yields.
• Seamless line operation: accumulators keep your lamination process running without disruptions.

Whether you need a fully automatic winder for laminates or a flexible rewinder, our solutions adapt to your workflow and help you achieve your production targets with less stress and fewer unplanned stops.

A partnership focused on quality and uptime

Our approach is hands-on and direct. We work closely with your engineers and production teams to clarify requirements, conduct factory tests, and configure drive and winding systems. Our assembly includes rigorous testing for roll standards, splice strength, and safety compliance. Training and commissioning are part of our commitment to reliable handover and smooth upscaling after installation.

For the long term, CAMPEN delivers lifecycle support with spare parts, upgrades, audits, and new roll handling technologies to keep your automatic winder for laminates running at its best. This dedication to after-sales service helps you keep your operation efficient, modern, and highly productive.

• Decades of know-how in automatic winders for technical laminates and nonwoven applications.
• Proven systems for wide widths, heavy rolls, and industrial-scale requirements.
• Modular packaging and roll handling add-ons ensure future flexibility.
• Continuous performance improvements and quick-response service when you need it most.
