Since the 1970s, CAMPEN Machinery A/S has supported nonwoven producers with reliable, robust equipment. Our Danish-made machines are known for easy operation and proven performance. The belt accumulator is a reliable solution essential for stable nonwoven production. It enables low-tension web handling, supports winder synchronisation, and protects delicate webs. We tailor every belt accumulator to your process, material, and production targets. The outcome is fewer stops, steady operation, and consistent roll quality shift after shift.
A belt accumulator creates a stable buffer before the winder. This setup maintains continuous production during reel changes, winder speed changes, or unplanned line disturbances. The web moves over wide, driven belts with minimal contact pressure. This is particularly beneficial for sensitive nonwoven materials such as meltblown, wetlaid, and lightweight spunbond webs. The belt accumulator ensures reliable, tension-free accumulation and reduces the risk of web damage.
During winder acceleration, deceleration, or splicing, tension spikes may threaten web integrity. Our belt accumulator minimises these risks. It provides smooth winder synchronisation and safeguards product quality. With fewer tears, less scrap, and steady roll builds, operational efficiency increases. This solution also integrates seamlessly into roll-to-roll handling systems, easily matching your line speed and layout requirements.
Our engineering approach is clear: protect both uptime and web quality. Every CAMPEN belt accumulator is designed for reliable low-tension control and accurate web tracking. Drives, sensors, and automation features work together to keep the process stable from start to finish. This design reduces downtime, lowers scrap, and boosts final roll yield.
Each function targets a specific process advantage: stable control shortens both downtime and rethreading; gentle belt handling protects web quality; accurate buffering aids splicing and roll changeovers. Thoughtful engineering, robust components, and clean layouts support reliable, long-life performance and manageable maintenance.
You benefit from our close working style and broad industrial experience. We start by analysing your web width, line speed, buffer needs, and available space. The right belt accumulator is then specified with matching controls, PLC, HMI, and safety system integration. We provide full documentation and training for trouble-free operator use.
Our team understands the challenges of splicing, handling lightweight webs, and avoiding web breaks during roll-to-roll transitions, even with sensitive meltblown or spunbond structures. With precise winder integration, robust tension control, and reliable buffer management, our belt accumulator solutions secure stable, quality-focused production for any nonwoven operation.
If you are considering a new nonwoven line or upgrading your system ahead of the winder, let us help you define the right solution. We assess your performance requirements and recommend a belt accumulator, control concept, and layout that protects delicate nonwovens, ensures smooth web handling, and supports high-speed operation. Share your production targets and process concerns with our experts to receive tailored technical advice and suggestions for system optimisation.
