Since the 1970s, CAMPEN Machinery A/S has helped manufacturers worldwide with the conversion of jumbo rolls to short rolls. Our reliable solutions provide web processors with high productivity, safety, and consistent quality. Whether your operation focuses on nonwovens, tissue, film, or technical textiles, our systems can handle your materials efficiently. We work closely with you to determine the ideal roll formats, line width, and required speed. Every line is engineered for easy integration into your existing process and to support your specific production needs.
Efficient jumbo roll to short roll conversion depends on stable jumbo roll handling and precise web control. Our shaftless unwinding with hydraulic loading helps reduce downtime and improves safety, allowing operators to change even heavy rolls quickly without cranes. Automated roll transport systems minimise manual lifting and protect both operators and products.
Closed-loop tension control ensures wrinkle-free webs and smooth processes, reducing the risk of web breaks. Precision web guiding further secures accurate alignment, supporting quality slitting and minimising edge waste. All equipment is fully guarded, CE-marked, and built for operator safety and long service life, even in demanding 24/7 industrial environments.
Accurate slitting and rewinding are essential in any jumbo roll to short roll conversion process. CAMPEN’s slitter rewinders are designed for flexibility and operator efficiency. We offer razor, shear, and crush knife slitting to match your material’s thickness and properties. The automatic knife setting function enables fast, repeatable changeovers for shorter lead times and less waste.
Centre or surface rewinding ensures each converted short roll has the required tension and hardness, ready for downstream packaging or processing. When high output is a priority, turret rewinders with fast, automated roll discharge help keep your line running without interruption. Trim extraction systems quickly remove dust and edge waste, supporting cleanliness and product quality.
CAMPEN’s jumbo roll to short roll conversion lines are controlled by advanced PLC systems that make operation simple and reliable for your team. Interfaces offer clear diagnostics, programmable recipes, and fast format changes. Data logging supports quality tracking and process optimisation. Integrated defect marking is available for further quality assurance. Complete dust extraction and filtration help protect both your personnel and the equipment itself.
Our roll to roll converting lines can connect directly to upstream web processes such as coating, laminating, or extruding, as well as downstream packaging lines. This integrated approach maximises throughput, reduces buffering, and maintains traceability. With deep expertise in nonwovens and other challenging web materials, we offer tested solutions that meet the requirements of modern manufacturing environments.
We understand that every jumbo roll to short roll conversion project is different. Our engineering team works with you to specify roll diameters, lengths, and material grades, designing robust lines that ensure efficient web handling and reliable slitting. All equipment is delivered with detailed documentation, and we support commissioning, operator training, and preventive maintenance to help you maintain continuous production and high quality.
