    Industrial winder and slitter machinery for nonwovens and technical textiles

    retail size roll converter solutions for consistent production quality

    Since the 1970s, CAMPEN Machinery A/S has delivered reliable retail size roll converter solutions for the nonwoven and technical textile industry. Every retail size roll converter is engineered to suit your specific process, factory layout, and quality standards. We combine robust mechanics with proven control systems to deliver a solution that operators find easy to use. Our aim is consistent production quality, low waste, and long-term reliability. From initial design through trials to commissioning and ongoing service, we focus fully on optimising your results.

    Flexible integration for in-line and off-line operations

    The retail size roll converter from CAMPEN supports in-line and off-line production. You can integrate slitting and winding in a single machine or install the converter after your main production equipment. Shaftless unwinding with heavy-duty chucks speeds up mother roll changes and improves safety. If you connect the converter to an accumulator, stop-and-go operation is possible without interrupting upstream processes. These options increase productivity and reduce bottlenecks.

    Main features and process advantages

    • Adapts easily to your line setup, letting you reduce installation costs and make the most of your available space.
    • Slitting and winding functions combined in one unit simplify material logistics and help protect product quality.
    • Automatic roll and core handling minimises changeover time and lowers operator workload.
    • High-speed short roll winding with gentle electronic control maintains web quality at all speeds.
    • Reliable hot melt edge sealing gives finished rolls uniform edges and reduces packaging and rework problems.

    Our retail size roll converter is built to handle frequent size changes and various materials, from spunlace and airlaid to film and technical textiles. Advanced control technology stabilises web tension across all phases—acceleration, deceleration, or sudden stops. This feature is crucial for preventing telescoping, edge damage, and core crushing, especially with fragile webs or sensitive products.

    Ensuring productivity and consistent roll quality

    Consistent quality and operator safety are key aspects of every CAMPEN retail size roll converter. Precise tension management protects the characteristics of spunlace, airlaid, technical felts, and thin films—preventing wrinkles, stretching, and rejection rates. Our systems offer both centre and surface winding, plus lay-on rollers and web edge guides, securing stable roll formation process after process.

    Operational and technical benefits

    • Stable tension preserves material properties and helps meet customer specifications every time.
    • Automated measuring and control systems maintain desired roll lengths and diameters, ensuring correct label claims.
    • Automatic knife positioning streamlines setup and minimises the risk of mistakes or manual error.
    • Cardboard tube handling automation lifts ergonomics and improves workflow safety.
    • Comprehensive safety covers and guided unwinding protect personnel during roll change and thread-up procedures.

    The retail size roll converter processes short rolls from various materials—nonwovens, technical textiles, and films. Hot melt sealing on the roll ends guards against unwinding during delivery and storage. Digital connectivity helps your team log process data, waste, and quality metrics, supporting traceability and continuous improvement.

    Proven know-how in roll converting for demanding industries

    Our decades of experience give us insight into the practical challenges of nonwoven and technical textile production—issues like dust, fibre shedding, loft, and stretching. Each retail size roll converter is designed for robust performance and daily reliability, even under tough conditions or with demanding synthetic and fibre-based webs.

    Applications and materials handled by CAMPEN roll converters

    • Geotextiles and geosynthetics for construction require perfect edge quality and precise roll dimensions.
    • Spunlace and airlaid for wipes industries, where roll length accuracy and tight winding are vital.
    • Technical felts, fibreglass, or elastic webs are converted with attention to web guidance and product integrity.
    • PE, PET, and other plastic films achieve reliable results due to gentle handling and clean slitting systems.

    Configure your retail size roll converter with the line speed, roll width, and diameter suited to your product range. Shaftless unwinds, accumulator integration, and full slitting/winding automation boost uptime and ease maintenance. CAMPEN technical teams provide targeted support throughout commissioning, ramp-up, and day-to-day operation, ensuring long-lasting value for your investment.
