Since the 1970s, CAMPEN Machinery A/S has delivered reliable, robust solutions for mother roll to smaller roll conversion. We design and build easy-to-operate lines that support converters and producers in nonwovens, tissue, films, foils, and technical textiles. Our technology focuses on stable mother roll handling, precise slitting, and consistent rewinding—helping you achieve efficient processes, high product quality, and improved operator safety. Integration with upstream and downstream production ensures dependable output every shift.
Our slitter rewinder systems are engineered for stable mother roll to smaller roll conversion. Shaftless unwinding with hydraulic roll loading ensures safe handling of heavy or large-diameter mother rolls. Automated web guiding and closed-loop tension control maintain web stability throughout the process—crucial for nonwovens, stretch films, and speciality materials. These features lead to accurate width reduction, minimal edge trim, and uniform rewinding quality.
Depending on your application, we offer razor, shear, or crush knife slitting for precise roll width reduction. Automatic knife positioning reduces set-up time and helps avoid operator mistakes. Integrated edge trimming and trim handling systems minimise dust and keep workspaces clean. Both centre and surface rewinding are available, with turret options that enable continuous operation and faster changeovers.
Automation via PLC and recipe-based format selection ensures reliable outcomes—even with frequent material changes or variable order sizes. Automated roll discharge streamlines your process for higher throughput.
CAMPEN’s mother roll to smaller roll conversion equipment is trusted by manufacturers processing nonwovens, tissue, films, foils, and technical textiles. Our systems are designed for reliable, continuous running, even under 24/7 operations. Strong machine frames, industrial drive systems, and intelligent controls support long service life and stable output.
Operators benefit from a user-friendly HMI for simple, safe set-up and monitoring. Features such as inline inspection, diameter measurement, and web break alarms help maintain high roll quality and fast response to process deviations. Dust extraction and air filtration systems are integrated to maintain plant cleanliness and meet strict hygiene requirements. All machinery is built with robust safety guarding and is fully CE-compliant, protecting your staff while maintaining productivity.
We also offer modular upgrades such as web guiding, tension control, and knife slitting units for nonwoven webs and related applications. Whether you require a new line or a retrofit, each solution is adapted to your materials and performance targets.
Our mother roll to smaller roll conversion lines are suitable for tissue, hygiene products, films, foils, technical textiles, and specialised composites. We deliver value for converters, packaging suppliers, technical textile manufacturers, and companies involved in large-scale web processing in Europe and worldwide.
Typical operations supported by our conversion systems include:
Each line can include shaftless unwinding, automatic web guiding, closed-loop tension control, slitting (razor, shear, or crush), edge trim removal, centre or surface rewinding, turret systems, and automated roll handling. These solutions help boost output, minimise scrap, and keep staff protected. Connect our controls with your OEE and quality management systems for real-time monitoring.
From early process development to installation, we work with your team to optimise line speed, roll build, slitting precision, and changeover times. Our goal: robust, reliable mother roll to smaller roll conversion that supports efficient operations and consistent product quality.
