Reliable equipment for lightweight spunbond handling and web accumulation

Since the 1970s, CAMPEN Machinery A/S has supplied reliable web handling equipment for the nonwovens industry. Our technical expertise and robust designs provide production managers and process engineers with practical solutions. We understand the unique demands of lightweight spunbond handling—precise low-tension control, process stability, and safe accumulation before winding are all essential. Working closely with your team, we help maximise uptime, ensure consistent product quality, and protect operator safety.

Our belt and web accumulator systems are engineered for the unique requirements of lightweight and sensitive nonwoven materials. They enable gentle low-tension accumulation, efficient lightweight spunbond handling, and smooth roll-to-roll transitions. By protecting spinning webs from sudden tension spikes and potential damage, our solutions help maintain material integrity throughout your production workflow.

We support nonwoven converters, process managers, and technical teams handling lightweight or delicate spunbond webs. Common applications include web accumulation before winding and critical low-tension handling scenarios, where control and protection are vital for avoiding fibre damage and maintaining high-quality roll build.

How accumulator systems support sensitive spunbond webs

Delicate and lightweight spunbond products demand exceptional care at every processing step. CAMPEN’s belt and web accumulator platforms are purposely designed for spunbond, meltblown, and wetlaid webs. Stable web transport and synchronised winder integration deliver low-tension accumulation in continuous production environments.

• Precision loop control maintains web tension within narrow parameters, reducing the risk of fibre damage or basis weight inconsistency.
• Accumulators are sized to accommodate your line’s speed variations and splicing cycles.
• Integrated winder synchronisation supports rapid line acceleration or deceleration, protecting lightweight spunbond handling from tension fluctuations.
• Intuitive operator interfaces display all setpoints, alarms, and trend data for process transparency.
• Recipe functions streamline grade changes and store control parameters for quick, safe transitions between different spunbond products.

Advantages for your lightweight spunbond handling process:

• Low web tension safeguards fibre structure and helps achieve consistent roll build quality.
• Accumulation buffers absorb upstream or downstream interruptions and minimise web break risk.
• Closed-loop drives coordinate seamlessly with sensors to ensure stable web flow during roll changes.
• Optimised web paths reduce friction and static build-up on spunbond surfaces.
• Consistent roll-to-roll performance boosts efficiency and material output.

Strong machine design for lasting performance

Continuous spunbond processing requires reliable web handling systems. CAMPEN’s lightweight spunbond handling solutions are constructed from robust steel frames, low-inertia rollers, and durable belts to ensure long equipment life and minimal maintenance. Our engineering focus is safety, accuracy, and ease of operation.

Precise drive and tension management are critical for high-quality spunbond web handling. We integrate vector drives, torque limiters, and precise feedback sensors to maintain constant tension, eliminating problems like neck-in, web breaks, or damaged fibres.

• Synchronised drives transfer webs safely between accumulator and winder sections.
• Engineered wrap angles limit pressure on sensitive spunbond materials.
• Optional anti-static systems help keep material clean and stable during handling.
• All systems are CE-compliant, with effective guarding for operator safety.
• Open machine layouts ensure fast access for cleaning and straightforward maintenance routines.

Configurations are adapted to your factory’s available space and production volume, including horizontal or vertical layouts, multiple accumulator sections, and integrated web guidance. Additional options cover splice handling, nip control, and process logging for extended quality assurance.

Professional integration and reliable after-sales support

Every spunbond line and process configuration is unique. We ensure our lightweight spunbond handling solutions integrate smoothly with existing unwinders, slitters, coaters, and winders. All mechanical, electrical, and control systems are fully documented and tested.

During commissioning, CAMPEN specialists align all accumulator components to secure seamless handover with adjacent equipment. Factory acceptance tests confirm safe loop stability and process reliability. We train your team for efficient operation and proper long-term lightweight spunbond handling.

Our support covers new installations, retrofits, and line upgrades for spunbond, meltblown, or wetlaid processes. Remote troubleshooting and rapid spare part delivery keep downtime low. Continuous improvement services include performance reviews and targeted audits.

• Process assessments can reveal hidden tension faults or limitations in your existing handling setup.
• Bespoke accumulator sizing matches splice frequency and production cycle demands.
• Wear monitoring and predictive maintenance help prevent unplanned stoppages.
• Ongoing OEE reviews and process optimisation improve material yield and plant efficiency.
• Full technical documentation and change management safeguard safe operations across shifts and workforce changes.

With over 40 years of experience, CAMPEN Machinery A/S is dedicated to providing robust, easy-to-operate, and reliable solutions for lightweight spunbond handling—helping nonwoven manufacturers achieve stable, efficient, and quality-driven production day after day.
