Since the 1970s, CAMPEN Machinery A/S has delivered robust mother roll conversion solutions tailored for high-volume web production. Our systems are developed for safe and efficient conversion processes that maintain consistent quality and a competitive cost per roll. With a technically advanced and practical approach, we help you convert demanding materials and manage wide and heavy rolls. Our integrated systems support nonwovens, films, technical textiles, and more, delivering reliable web guiding and precise slitting for each application. With proven engineering and responsive service, we optimise your uptime, reduce material waste, and ensure stable production.
Our mother roll conversion systems are engineered for dependable roll handling and precision converting. Shaftless unwinding with hydraulic loading allows for safe, fast changeovers and maintains the integrity of the core. Closed-loop tension control and automatic web guiding keep your material centred and consistent throughout the process. This results in even roll geometry, higher output quality, and less edge trim waste. Integration of upstream and downstream equipment minimises handling, reduces downtime, and ensures a seamless process.
Flexible slitting technology is available to match your specific material—whether you process nonwovens, films, tissue, or laminates. Choose from razor, shear, or crush knife slitting for best results. Our systems feature fast, automatic knife positioning for quick job changes, supporting repeatable and precise slitting performance. Integrated edge trim removal keeps your line tidy and safe with minimal operator involvement.
Our mother roll conversion equipment covers all standard conversion tasks: roll width reduction, length reduction, and flexible sizing. The process links unwinders, slitting stations, rewinders, and automated roll handling to boost operator safety and maintain a controlled workflow from start to finish.
CAMPEN’s conversion systems are built to handle diverse web materials, roll diameters, and widths. If you convert jumbo rolls into finished slit rolls for hygiene, textiles, packaging, or nonwovens, we supply complete solutions. Automatic format changes and recipe management enable rapid adaptation to varied production batches. Optional inline defect inspection ensures traceability and continuous quality monitoring during production.
Depending on your needs, choose between centre winding or surface winding. Automated turret rewinders and roll ejection reduce manual handling and increase throughput. Dust extraction and filtration maintain a clean, safe work environment. All safety features meet CE requirements, ensuring protection without production interruption.
Common applications include slitting and rewinding mother rolls to produce finished rolls at specific widths and lengths, with precise edge trimming for delivery to secondary processing lines. Each unit is engineered for reliable operation, supporting both mass production and custom converting demands.
Manufacturers in Europe and around the world rely on CAMPEN for reliable mother roll conversion. Our equipment supports the requirements of nonwoven producers, tissue converters, film and foil specialists, packaging lines, and technical textile industries. We provide solutions for sensitive materials, high hygiene needs, and rapid turnaround. Each line is configured to handle large and heavy formats with focus on safety, efficiency, and continuous operation.
Core components—such as unwinders, web guides, tension controls, flexible slitting stations, and high-capacity rewinders—work together as a responsive system. This enables a consistent supply of clean, well-wound rolls ready for use in finishing, laminating, or packaging. Our systems allow seamless connection with upstream process lines and downstream automation for packaging, inspection, or palletising.
By investing in CAMPEN mother roll conversion systems, you gain a reliable, easy to operate platform for efficient production and material savings. We help you optimise every stage—from unwinding jumbo rolls to rewinding finished product—with robust engineering and trusted technology.
