Roll handling equipment for efficient and safe web processing

Since the 1970s, CAMPEN Machinery A/S has delivered reliable roll handling equipment for demanding web processes across industries. Our focus is on robust mechanical design and precise automation, with every system engineered for high productivity and safe handling of heavy mother rolls. We deliver solutions that are easy to operate and maintain, even under continuous 24/7 use. Our goal is to help you achieve higher uptime, consistent product quality, and reduced waste. Whether you process nonwovens, films, or paper, our roll handling equipment is adaptable to different layouts and integrates smoothly with existing machinery, ensuring stable workflows and full process transparency.

Solutions for robust handling and precise converting

CAMPEN’s roll handling equipment supports every stage from mother roll loading to final product discharge. Shaftless unwinds with hydraulic lifting simplify roll changes and minimise manual intervention. Advanced web guiding combined with closed-loop tension control protects sensitive webs and keeps your process stable. For slitting, our systems offer both razor and shear options, giving you clean edges and accurate widths. Choose from centre or surface rewinding to match your material specifications and quality goals.

We customise each system to match your materials, roll dimensions, and specific production needs. Our PLC-based controls with recipe management streamline format changes and boost repeatability. Integrated inline inspection and trim extraction help maintain quality and reduce downtime. All machines are built for easy access, simplifying cleaning and maintenance. Full CE-compliant safety guarding comes as standard, promoting safe operation and protecting your team.

• Shaftless unwinds reduce roll change time and limit manual handling risks.
• Automatic web guiding keeps webs centred, helping you cut waste from misalignment.
• Closed-loop tension systems safeguard lightweight or stretchable products from damage.
• Efficient knife systems help you achieve narrow widths with minimal edge waste.
• Automatic knife positioning increases throughput and speeds up setup.
• Trim extraction systems support stable product quality and a cleaner process line.
• Centre or surface rewinding covers different core and roll hardness requirements.
• Turret rewinders boost productivity with seamless roll changeovers.

Comprehensive systems for end-to-end roll movement

Our equipment is engineered for efficient handling and transport of large diameter jumbo rolls throughout your plant. Automated roll transport ensures safe movement between unwinding, slitting, and rewinding stages. Our integrated systems deliver accurate width and length reduction, supporting your need for precise roll formats and high productivity. Automatic discharge and print-ready labelling options make downstream handling efficient and error-free.

This level of integration means you can process more product variants with fewer stops, keeping production moving and quality consistent. We connect upstream with forming or coating machinery and downstream with packaging and palletising equipment. This creates a seamless process with full traceability and clear production data for monitoring and optimisation.

• Automated jumbo roll handling reduces manual risks and operator workload.
• Accurate slitting supports customer-specific batch requirements.
• Advanced tension control helps prevent defects and cuts reworking costs.
• Recipe-based changeovers enable faster adaptation to new formats.
• Inline inspection quickly detects issues, supporting robust quality control.
• Automatic roll discharge streamlines production and maximises operator efficiency.
• Integrated data collection helps improve OEE and ease production analysis.
