Converting mother rolls to sales rolls: reliable systems for nonwovens and technical textiles

For over seventy years, CAMPEN Machinery A/S has supplied reliable technologies for converting mother rolls to sales rolls. Our robust equipment ensures precise, repeatable results when processing nonwovens and technical textiles. Achieve consistent roll formation, controlled web tension, and efficient operation—whether you work with spunlace, airlaid, felts, or specialty materials. As your production partner, we help you reduce waste, secure uptime, and meet customer demands in both in-line and off-line setups.

Advanced short roll winding for optimal performance

Our systems are designed for the rapid and reliable conversion of mother rolls to sales rolls within nonwoven production and technical textile manufacturing. By integrating precise slitting systems, shaftless unwinding, and advanced web tension controls, our solutions safeguard quality across a broad range of web properties and basis weights.

• Supports efficient in-line and off-line converting, adapting to your line layout and production goals.
• Shaftless unwinding enhances safety, cuts changeover times, and improves accessibility for operators.
• Closed-loop web tension control reduces stretch, prevents wrinkles, and keeps roll edges straight.
• Automatic slitting and winding delivers repeatable, high-quality sales rolls with minimal handling.
• Integrated roll start and end sealing, including hot melt and edge taping, secures finished rolls for downstream processing or packaging.
• Cardboard tube handling and roll change automation streamline workflow and reduce labour input.

Each short roll winder features intuitive controls and user-friendly HMIs, making it easy to set roll length, winding mode, and tension parameters. This lets your operators create consistent sales rolls that meet customer quality specifications, maximising valuable material.

Tailored converting solutions for various production needs

Every line is unique. That’s why our modular technology for converting mother rolls to sales rolls is tailored to your plant’s specific width, tension range, and speed requirements. Whether you face frequent product changes, sensitive materials, or tight production deadlines, our scalable solutions help maximise productivity while maintaining product integrity.

• Flexible machine configurations to match target sales roll dimensions and output volume.
• Automatic tube feeding, roll labelling, and ejection enhance continuous production without bottlenecks.
• Buffer and accumulator technology absorbs web tension fluctuations and facilitates seamless splicing.
• Integrated safety features and robust design meet CE requirements and minimise downtime.
• Data capture and network interfaces support traceability, quality monitoring, and production analysis.

Our converting systems deliver optimal results for a wide range of applications including geotextiles, industrial filtration, and hygiene products, consistently converting mother rolls to sales rolls with accuracy and minimal operator involvement.
