    Industrial winder and slitter machinery for nonwovens and technical textiles

    Converting nonwoven rolls into shorter lengths with precise, efficient systems

    Since the 1970s, CAMPEN Machinery A/S has delivered reliable solutions for converting nonwoven rolls into shorter lengths. Our lines are robust, easy to operate, and engineered for high precision with minimal waste. Every converting system is optimised for uptime and designed to simplify processes for your team. By combining advanced engineering with proven technology, we support nonwoven producers across any plant size, from single-line setups to large-scale conversion hubs.

    Our converting solutions enable manufacturers to handle a variety of fibre types and web structures. Whether your application is in hygiene, filtration, automotive, or geotextiles, we provide systems built for consistent performance and quality. Adaptation to custom web widths, core sizes, and product formats ensures each solution meets your production demands.

    Advanced systems for converting rolls by length and width

    CAMPEN’s slitter rewinder lines streamline the process of reducing nonwoven rolls to shorter lengths and narrower formats, making them ready for downstream operations or end use. Each converting line helps keep output levels high with stable web control and accurate repeatability.

    Main features supporting high-precision conversion

    • Shaftless unwind with hydraulic loading: Increases operator safety and speeds up roll changes for better equipment utilisation.
    • Web guiding technology: Delivers reliable edge tracking during unwinding and rewinding to achieve clean and straight rolls every time.
    • Closed-loop tension systems: Automatically adjust to maintain proper web tension, reducing defects and improving final roll geometry.
    • Knife slitting options: Choose between razor, shear, or crush knives to suit your application, helping you control dust and fibre release when converting nonwovens.
    • Automatic width set-up: Enables operators to quickly adjust for different roll width reduction tasks with minimal manual input.
    • Edge trim and extraction units: Continuously remove slitter waste at the source, ensuring product cleanliness and efficient operation.
    • Selectable rewinding principles: Centre or surface winding modes guarantee roll quality for varying material thickness or density.

    You can further automate production with turret winders, enabling near-continuous roll changeover and limiting non-productive stops. Integrated roll handling systems ensure finished rolls are rapidly moved to packing or further processing with minimal manual effort.

    Heavy roll handling made safe and efficient

    Handling large-diameter mother rolls is a challenge for many nonwoven producers. CAMPEN’s robust mother roll handling, shaftless unwinding, and roll transport solutions allow for efficient and safe roll movement throughout the converting line. Durable construction means these systems stand up to the demands of high-volume production.

    Operator-focused design and machine safety

    • Heavy-duty unwind stands: Safe, reliable support for even the largest nonwoven rolls, reducing lifting and manual intervention.
    • Automatic chucks and guided roll alignment: Enable precise roll positioning and quick setup, improving format accuracy and speeding up changeovers.
    • Ergonomic operator aids: Thread-up devices and controlled jogging enhance safety during web threading and start-up.
    • Integrated dust management: Extraction and filtration systems maintain a clean workspace and protect product quality.
    • Compliant safety features: All guarding and controls designed to meet strict EU/UK directives for operator protection while maintaining productivity.

    Smooth transitions between line segments, effective web guiding systems, and automated roll transfer minimise damage risk, telescoping, or complaints over roll integrity.

    Automation for consistent quality and speed

    PLC-based automation ensures repeatable and accurate results when converting nonwoven rolls into shorter lengths. Operators benefit from user-friendly controls, recipe-driven setup, and efficient job changeovers. Advanced line automation allows your facility to reduce waste and lower labour input, while still reaching demanding quality targets.

    How automated controls boost productivity

    • Job recipe management: Provides repeatable setups for length and width reduction, ensuring every batch meets your targets.
    • Automatic knife and guide positioning: Saves time and reduces the chance of manual errors during conversion.
    • In-line measurement and cut-to-length control: Enables accurate roll length and width, matching customer or process demands.
    • Event logging and alarm systems: Allow constant line monitoring and quick response to any process interruptions.
    • Remote diagnostics and clear HMI: Permit easy troubleshooting and process updates from your site or ours.

    With features like automatic tension zones and in-line roll inspection, your operators can maintain quality and reduce rejects at higher speeds or during long production shifts.

    Long-term value and technical support

    Our experience with nonwoven and technical textile processing means CAMPEN’s engineering team can guide your project from start to finish. We ensure every line is tested—via factory acceptance testing—to confirm all customer requirements for cut accuracy, roll geometry, and throughput are met. Components are industrial-grade and supported by local spares availability to keep your operation running.

    • Flexible plant layouts: Modular designs can be scaled or upgraded as your needs change.
    • Integration support: Options for connecting inspection, labelling, and downstream packaging with your line.
    • Quick implementation: Structured commissioning and full operator training at your site.
    • Ongoing lifecycle services: Routine maintenance and remote support keep productivity high.

    Whether your focus is on precise roll length reduction, accurate slitting, or efficient roll handling, CAMPEN develops solutions to help nonwoven converters stay competitive.
