Since the 1970s, CAMPEN Machinery A/S has delivered reliable pope winder solutions for global manufacturers of roofing membranes. Our pope winder for roofing membranes combines robust engineering and practical design to meet your production needs. You get a durable winder that is easy to operate, supports rapid start-up, and offers steady performance. This equipment can be integrated into new manufacturing lines or implemented as an upgrade for existing systems, ensuring a quick payback and increased efficiency. With decades of experience in nonwovens and technical textiles, we help you maintain high uptime and safe operation. Our technical team works closely with your staff, providing assistance during installation and commissioning. The result is a stable, reliable pope winder for roofing membranes that delivers optimal roll quality and long service life.
Roofing membranes require careful handling due to their size and material properties. Our pope winder for roofing membranes features precise surface and web tension control, managing wide web widths up to 5000 mm. High-speed winding allows for increased output without sacrificing quality. The design secures stable roll build-up, even edges, and minimal waste during changeovers. This simplifies downstream processes such as slitting, laminating, and packaging.
You benefit from automatic roll change at line speed, which reduces downtime and maximises productivity. Servo-driven tension management keeps membrane structure and reinforcing layers intact. Throughout the roll, from core outwards, the winder maintains even density, supporting clean unwinding and fewer roll-related defects in later steps.
Whether you refer to the solution as a pope winder, surface winder, or in-line winder, it is built for continuous operation in roofing membrane production. It also processes nonwoven rolls, geotextiles, and a variety of technical textiles. For more technical data, see our pope winder product details.
Building reliable rolls starts with accurate web tension control and careful roll build-up. The pope winder for roofing membranes uses servo-driven tension and a closed-loop control system. This system constantly monitors diameter and pressure at contact points, adjusting in real time to keep membrane quality stable. Core and edge control prevent issues like creasing or uneven tightness. As a result, rolls remain clean and straight, ready for further coating or conversion.
For operational safety and reduced manual handling, automatic core loading and shaft transfer are standard. Automated roll change at speed, optionally with an accumulator, enables continuous operation. The operator interface allows easy recipe changes, alarm monitoring, and maintenance tracking. Threading and set-up between batches are streamlined, helping teams achieve repeatable results with each shift.
We also supply alternatives like drum winders with rider rolls for extra stability or variations for different plant layouts. Our core focus is preparing roofing membrane rolls for fast, simple conversion with minimal handling and top-quality results.
CAMPEN’s winding systems integrate smoothly with upstream and downstream equipment, including lines for extrusion, calendering, coating, or lamination. Key strengths include gentle threading, stable web tension, and predictable machine transitions. Additional integration covers options for trim removal, accumulator sizing, and shaft or core logistics. The operator quickly learns to manage line speeds, settings, and routine cleaning.
Every installation follows a proven project management process. We review your factory layout, confirm desired capacity and roll dimensions, and conduct tests as needed. Comprehensive factory and site acceptance ensure your equipment runs safely and meets performance targets. We train your operators in daily use, cleaning, and changeover routines. Our ongoing service delivers timely spare parts, preventive audits, and upgrades to extend the service life of your winder.
CAMPEN has supported manufacturers of technical textiles and nonwovens globally for generations. Your pope winder for roofing membranes is built from this foundation—ensuring reliable, robust performance for maximum output and reduced downtime.
