pope winder with servo tension control for stable, consistent wide web winding

Since the 1970s, CAMPEN Machinery A/S has enabled manufacturers to wind wide and challenging webs with confidence. Our pope winder with servo tension control offers reliable, robust, and easy-to-operate performance tailored to your process requirements. This solution delivers consistent roll build-up, stable web tension, and repeatable product quality across a broad range of production settings.

Optimising wide web winding through advanced tension management

Consistent production for demanding nonwoven and technical applications

The pope winder with servo tension control is designed to support wide web applications, including nonwoven fabrics, technical textiles, and geotextiles. The servo-controlled tension system ensures uniform roll density, even at high winding speeds. Rapid adjustment to changes in process speed and material properties maintains optimal roll consistency from the core to the outer layer.

• Servo tension control protects sensitive materials and limits fibre stretch during production.
• Precise adjustment of contact pressure ensures stable and even roll formation throughout the winding cycle.
• Automated roll change reduces operational interruptions and enhances operator safety.
• Low-waste web threading minimises material loss during set-up and product transitions.
• Supports web widths up to 5000 mm, reducing the need for frequent changes and improving productivity.

Our system can function as either a surface winder or an in-line winder, offering flexibility to match your line configuration. It is suitable for applications requiring nonwoven rolls, roofing membranes, and high-performance technical textiles. Each pope winder with servo tension control is engineered for maximum uptime, featuring easy access and standardised components for simple maintenance.

In-line integration and user-friendly operation

Enhancing productivity and process control

We integrate the pope winder with servo tension control seamlessly into your production environment, in-line with upstream equipment such as carders, needlers, coaters, or laminators. Automatic shaft transfer at running speed, along with optional accumulators, supports continuous output during roll changes for higher efficiency.

• In-line configuration helps safeguard delicate or hot webs by minimising dwell time between processes.
• Automatic roll change reduces manual tasks and shortens changeover time.
• Intuitive human-machine interface (HMI) with recipe management accelerates set-up and operator onboarding.
• Built-in diagnostics provide quick troubleshooting, reducing unplanned downtime.
• All safety measures comply with European standards, giving reliable access for threading and adjustments.

Our pope winder with servo tension control adapts easily to a variety of materials, from uniform spunbond to voluminous needlepunch products and coated textiles. Servo-driven tension management ensures web control, whether accelerating, decelerating, or performing emergency stops. Process data logging enhances traceability and supports continuous improvement.

Durable construction and continuous support

Decades of winding experience benefit your operations

CAMPEN’s long history of designing and building winding and slitting systems means your pope winder with servo tension control will deliver lasting value. Our comprehensive approach—covering drive dimensioning, system layout, and ergonomic design—meets the requirements of continuous, wide web winding and downstream processing.

• High-speed winding capacity supports increased output volumes without sacrificing safety.
• Extra-wide winding enables large orders with fewer reel changes and minimal disruption.
• Consistent roll quality supports smoother converting, slitting, and packing processes.
• Low waste and dependable function contribute to a reduced total cost of ownership.
• Ongoing service and remote support ensure reliable performance and rapid spare part supply.

Our solutions are customised for both new lines and retrofits. We optimise machine configuration, automation options, and roll handling layouts for your plant. Each system undergoes factory acceptance testing to ensure performance on delivery, and our technical support teams ensure a quick start-up, reliable operation, and thorough operator training.

Modernise your winding line for better results

To achieve higher roll quality, fewer stoppages, and safer working conditions, choose a pope winder with servo tension control tailored to your needs. Share your material type, target web width, and production speed aims, and we will recommend an effective solution with a straightforward implementation plan.
