Inline converting line solutions for efficient nonwoven production

Since the 1970s, CAMPEN Machinery A/S has supported producers in scaling safe, efficient, and reliable roll-to-roll converting. We supply inline converting line solutions tailored to your products, plant layout, and production targets. With robust mechanics, precise controls, and easy operation, we ensure your operators work efficiently and safely. Our specialists adapt winding, slitting, rewinding, and inspection modules to match your material type, roll dimensions, and desired line speed. You gain a partner focused on nonwoven converting, technical textiles, and sensitive fabrics. This leads to higher uptime, stable output quality, and lower total production costs.

Why integrate an inline converting line in your production flow?

Placing an inline converting line directly after web forming, bonding, or coating allows for continuous processing with fewer manual interventions. Tension remains stable, while web guiding and slitting accuracy help produce consistent rolls. Automated roll handling and smart splice stations ease operator workload and reduce error risks.

• Reduced manual handling lowers scrap and limits opportunities for contamination.
• Closed-loop tension control protects sensitive nonwovens and roll edges.
• Automatic roll change increases line output and minimises downtime.
• Integrated inspection detects defects early, supporting first-time-right quality.
• Stable web guidance enhances slit precision and consistent roll building.
• Real-time data and alarms support quick responses for ongoing quality assurance.

For applications in hygiene nonwovens, filtration products, or technical textiles, our inline converting line solutions are engineered to meet different basis weights, fibre types, and process speeds. This enables a reliable, compact installation that integrates smoothly into your existing setup.

Comparing inline and off-line converting options

Choosing between an inline converting line and an off-line system depends on product mix, order volume, and process flexibility. An inline converting line offers high throughput for stable, recurring product formats. Off-line solutions allow frequent changeovers and a wider SKU range. We help you assess your operation and select the most efficient, responsive solution.

• Modules and control systems are shared across inline and off-line setups for easier operation and maintenance.
• For sensitive webs, we use low-wrap lengths, soft nip rolls, and precise tension control to protect delicate fabrics.
• Heavy industrial and technical textiles require sturdy machine frames, advanced safety measures, and powerful drives for larger rolls and high basis weights.

Technical highlights of CAMPEN inline converting lines

• Precise unwinders with automatic splicing keep production continuous.
• Slitting units ensure clean edges, fast blade changes, and minimal downtime.
• Multi-mode rewinding supports centre, surface, or combined formats for quality roll formation.
• Edge guiding maintains narrow tolerances, reducing trim waste and securing roll shape.
• Dedicated tension zones align with varying GSM and nonwoven fibre direction.
• Ergonomic roll handling components speed up changeovers and enhance worker safety.

Each inline converting line is tested with your materials, ensuring documented settings for each fabric and roll specification. This supports stable, repeatable operation across batches in both inline and off-line setups.

Quality assurance and life cycle support

CAMPEN Machinery A/S is recognised for its reliable converting equipment in the nonwovens industry. Our machine designs prioritise longevity, safety, and minimal maintenance. Rigid frames and user-friendly guarding comply with current safety standards. Centralised controls feature remote access for swift support.
