Since the 1970s, CAMPEN Machinery A/S has supplied reliable and robust solutions for converting spunlace rolls. Our equipment is designed for high uptime, stable production, and easy operation in demanding nonwoven environments. By combining technical expertise with advanced web handling technology, we ensure your converting spunlace rolls process runs smoothly and delivers top-quality results. We are committed to understanding your requirements, engineering specifically for your applications, and providing systems that fit your facility, formats, and customer needs. From safe mother roll handling to precise slitting and consistent winding, our solutions help you produce superior spunlace rolls for hygiene, wipes, and industrial applications.
Our converting equipment stands out for its ability to handle heavy mother rolls and continuous operation. Shaftless unwinding with hydraulic roll loading minimises manual interventions and speeds up roll changes. This, combined with an integrated web guiding system and automatic tension control, keeps spunlace substrate stable at any speed. These features protect fibre quality and reduce common issues such as wrinkles or telescoping during the converting spunlace rolls process.
The slitting section allows precise width reduction, minimising edge waste and material loss. Whether you need razor, shear, or crush knives, our systems are matched to your spunlace material, basis weight, and desired end formats. Automatic knife positioning cuts setup time, boosts repeatability, and helps avoid errors. Edge trimming and trim removal systems maintain a clean working environment and help keep spunlace rolls free from contaminants.
Winding options include centre winding and surface winding systems, with the choice of turret winders to support faster changeovers. Our automatic roll discharge and integrated internal transport solutions move finished spunlace rolls safely and efficiently, raising productivity and operator safety.
Achieving reliable, high-quality spunlace rolls requires strong process control. Our solutions use PLC automation for settings such as format width, roll length, and slitting recipes. Operators can select saved configurations and change over quickly, reducing downtime. Closed-loop tension control adapts to changes in speed, splice locations, or roll diameter, maintaining accurate tension in the spunlace web. This delivers flat, uniform rolls that are ready for downstream converting or packaging.
We engineer slitting technology specific to nonwoven spunlace substrates. Razor slitting creates clean, straight edges for light webs with low dust contamination. Shear slitting provides robust, clean cuts for higher strength spunlace, while crush knives are suitable for thicker or elastic materials. Automatic knife positioning increases efficiency and ensures accuracy, reducing human error and setup time across converting spunlace rolls applications.
Keeping the working environment clean is essential for spunlace. Our enclosed edge trimming and trim suction systems remove fibres before winding, supporting hygiene and helping prevent contamination. Inline inspection systems support quality monitoring, identifying roll defects before they reach customers. CE-certified guarding and safety systems safeguard operators at each stage: unwinding, threading, slitting, and roll change.
All our converting spunlace rolls solutions are configured for your specific production goals and facility layout. Our experience spans mother roll logistics, roll transport systems, and safe movement of heavy reels in automated or semi-automated environments. We link seamlessly with your upstream line and downstream systems, with modern interfaces for data sharing and overall equipment effectiveness tracking. Detailed reporting covers key parameters such as roll width, length, and waste, giving you clear insight for continuous improvement.
CAMPEN’s team has decades of experience supporting spunlace production for hygiene, wipes, automotive, and industrial markets. We can advise on challenges such as jumbo spunlace roll reduction, custom width modification, and preparation for downstream lamination or packaging. Our solutions include equipment commissioning, thorough operator training, and robust after-sales service with spare parts, upgrades, and remote support to maximise line uptime and performance. All lines are designed for quick, safe maintenance with clear interfaces for monitoring and control.
