Pope winder for nonwoven rolls – robust, reliable winding solutions

Since the 1970s, CAMPEN Machinery A/S has provided reliable pope winder solutions for nonwoven rolls. Our equipment is designed for safe, efficient, and cost-effective production. Each pope winder for nonwoven rolls is robust and easy to operate, ensuring high uptime and consistent output. Combining proven mechanics with precise web tension and contact pressure control, we deliver stable roll build and repeatable quality across wide web widths. Working closely with you, we align every pope winder to your line speed, web type, and downstream processing requirements. From planning to commissioning, our reliable pope winders and technical support will help maximise your productivity.

Optimised wide web winding and roll quality control

Engineered for wide web handling, our pope winder for nonwoven rolls supports working widths up to 5000 mm. A solid frame and dynamically balanced drum guarantee smooth, vibration-free performance at both low and high speeds. Servo-driven controls for tension and nip pressure ensure uniform distribution throughout the roll, helping to maintain even roll density and clean edges—even with lightweight or fragile technical textiles and geotextiles.

All key winding parameters, including tension and pressure, are managed through recipe-based controls. This setup enables rapid product changeovers and minimises manual intervention. The system maintains steady nip pressure as roll diameter changes, which is vital for achieving consistent hardness from the roll’s core through to its outer layer. This consistency benefits slitting, laminating, and all downstream converting processes.

• Stable roll build minimises telescoping and starring, lowering production waste.
• Even roll density ensures trouble-free downstream slitting and reliable material unwinding.
• Highly accurate servo axes reduce variation, improve repeatability, and cut setup times.
• Robust mechanics extend pope winder lifespan and reduce maintenance costs.

Efficient in-line winding for nonwoven roll production lines

Our pope winder for nonwoven rolls is designed for high-speed, in-line operation to maintain continuous production. Automatic roll change functions at full line speed, reducing downtime and keeping output stable. Integrated shaft transfer and core loading are synchronised with web movement, preventing web defects and tension spikes. When you add an accumulator, the line can run uninterrupted during splicing or knife changes, boosting overall production efficiency.

Continuous web tension control automatically adjusts as roll diameter grows, protecting material quality and reducing the risk of defects. User-friendly interfaces offer clear machine status and alarms, plus fast access to recipes for different products. Front-to-back guarding, easy access, and intuitive operator panels make day-to-day operation safe and straightforward.

• Automatic roll change maximises line availability and efficiency.
• Servo-controlled tension handling protects sensitive technical textiles and nonwovens at all speeds.
• Smooth in-line integration with upstream and downstream equipment for seamless roll handling.
• Minimised waste during roll transitions supports cost savings and sustainability goals.

Proven expertise in nonwoven and technical textile winding

Since 1975, we have supplied pope winders, slitters, and handling systems for nonwoven rolls, technical textiles, geotextiles, and roofing membranes. This extensive experience allows us to configure every pope winder to your specific basis weight, fibre type, and roll density requirements. We consider space, speed, and integration needs, and can provide retrofit solutions without unnecessary downtime.

Our project teams guide you from initial process trials through to final commissioning. Remote support and onsite services ensure your pope winder maintains maximum uptime. We also deliver spare parts, structured operator training, and ongoing upgrades to keep your nonwoven production line robust and reliable.

• Comprehensive process knowledge reduces commissioning time and stabilises roll quality faster.
• Available options such as trim handling and roll identification boost product traceability.
• CE marking and robust design promote safe, reliable operation for every shift.
• Continued technical assistance and upgrades safeguard your investment and reduce long-term costs.
