    Precision roll handling and slitting equipment for demanding applications

    Nonwoven web accumulator – stable winding, reduced waste, reliable operation

    Since the 1970s, CAMPEN Machinery A/S has supplied robust nonwoven equipment to keep production stable, safe, and reliable. The nonwoven web accumulator is designed for sensitive nonwoven webs, ensuring gentle handling and precise tension control. By combining strong engineering with intelligent automation, our accumulator minimises waste and reduces downtime. We work closely with customers, assess needs, and keep optimising until process targets are met.

    Industry solutions for gentle nonwoven web accumulation

    Our nonwoven web accumulator systems serve meltblown, wetlaid, and spunbond lines where low-tension web handling is vital. A wide, coated belt supports the web across its full width, preventing tension spikes and web marking. This stable buffer before winding allows your upstream equipment to run uninterrupted during roll changes, protecting continuous output.

    The accumulator offers gentle web transport and precise loop control, which improves winding quality and safeguards even the most delicate materials. Our belt accumulator design supports tension-free accumulation for lightweight nonwovens, eliminating risk of fibre damage.

    Key advantages for efficient nonwoven processing

    • Low-tension handling protects fibres and bonding points, helping prevent web breaks and edge fraying.
    • Full-width belt support keeps material flat, reducing creasing for consistent rolls.
    • Advanced loop control and synchronisation with the winder minimise tension shocks during speed changes.
    • Generous buffer capacity improves roll-to-roll transitions, boosting productivity and reducing waste.
    • Open, easy-to-clean construction speeds up routine operation, cleaning, and maintenance.

    Each nonwoven web accumulator is configured for your web width, line speed, and specification. Whether your process involves lightweight spunbond, high-porosity, or fragile grades, we adapt mechanics and controls for optimum results.

    Engineering expertise and integrated automation

    Our skilled engineering team delivers every nonwoven web accumulator with a focus on stability and process integration. The accumulator fits between forming, bonding, or coating modules and the winder, making installation direct and efficient. Modern drives, sensors, and closed-loop algorithms help maintain steady web tension at all times.

    The web path is carefully guided with minimal wrap angles, preserving material properties and alignment. Guarded infeed and outfeed areas boost safety while making threading easy and fast for operators.

    Automation and process control features

    • Closed-loop tension regulation keeps web tension set points stable by absorbing upstream disturbances.
    • Accurate matching with winder speeds ensures smooth web flow and minimises tension spikes.
    • Selectable buffer lengths help you balance available floor space with accumulation needs.
    • Recipe-based changeovers enable fast, repeatable product transitions with minimum manual input.
    • Continuous data capture and alarm logging enhance troubleshooting and help cut downtime.

    System integration covers line controls, safety circuits, and manufacturing systems for process transparency. Commissioning includes test runs, verification procedures, and detailed operator training for routine use and preventive maintenance. This helps secure high uptime and stable production.

    Adapted to your nonwoven materials and targets

    Every nonwoven reacts differently during handling. Our nonwoven web accumulator adjusts to meltblown, wetlaid, or spunbond webs with custom belt materials, drum sizes, and entry geometries, supporting the full range of technical nonwoven requirements. Accumulation remains stable and does not harm fibre structure or web surface, regardless of product type.

    Whether processing filtration media, hygiene substrates, or technical laminates, our accumulator ensures uniform winding and efficient roll changes, even at high speeds. You can select from standard options and add-on features to match your operation’s needs.

    Customisation options to enhance your process

    • Antistatic belts and optional ionisation units reduce static and dust for cleaner production.
    • Automatic edge guiding maintains winding precision, reducing trim waste and improving product quality.
    • Splice detection keeps web tension stable during transitions and roll joins.
    • Clean-in-place functions and hinged covers simplify cleaning and regular inspection.
    • Remote diagnostics and online support help resolve issues quickly and reduce unplanned stops.
