roll length conversion systems for efficient production

Since the 1970s, CAMPEN Machinery A/S has delivered reliable roll length conversion solutions for global manufacturers. Our robust systems are designed for high output, consistent quality, and safe production environments. With durable mechanical construction, precise electronic controls, and easy operation, our technology supports your converting line’s efficiency and uptime.

Customised solutions for modern converting

We supply complete lines for roll length conversion, from mother roll to finished product. Each system is engineered to maximise uptime while protecting your substrate quality. The process starts with shaftless unwinding for fast, safe roll loading, moves through advanced web guiding and slitting, and finishes with adaptive rewinding to suit your order profile.

Integrated modules for reliable production

Shaftless unwinds with hydraulic lift for quick roll changes reduce operator strain and machine downtime.
Closed-loop tension control ensures stable web tension, supporting repeatable product quality throughout roll length conversion.
Automated web guiding maintains uniform edge alignment, minimising waste and setup times.
Flexible slitting systems (razor, shear, or crush) with easy knife positioning deliver precise cuts and rapid format changes.
Trim and dust extraction helps keep the converting area clean, contributing to product safety and machine reliability.
Roll transport logistics provide safe handling of both jumbo rolls and finished rolls, preventing damage and simplifying workflows.

Our modules integrate to form a stable, single system. As a result, downtime is reduced and overall line efficiency is improved. Careful mother roll handling and controlled web flow protect the quality of every finished roll. The outcome is dependable performance, reduced waste, and lower production costs.

Jumbo roll management prevents damage and secures your material investment.
Precise roll length conversion minimises production waste and achieves customer specifications.
High-speed slitting and trimming boost throughput for demanding production targets.
Adaptable single or turret rewinders support frequent changeovers without lengthy stoppages.

Versatile applications for roll length conversion systems

CAMPEN’s roll length conversion equipment is trusted in nonwoven, tissue, film, textile, and composite processing lines across Europe and worldwide. Our experience covers everything from delicate hygiene webs to robust technical laminates. We tune every part of your line, from slitters to cleaning systems, to suit your material and quality goals.

Consistent quality for various material types

Mother roll handling and jumbo roll handling use stable lifts and roll conveyors for secure movement.
Automatic slitter rewinders with programmable knife settings reduce changeover times.
Edge trimming and extraction ensure finished rolls are clean and ready for downstream processing.
Controlled width and length reduction delivers repeatable roll dimensions, reducing rework.

Typical applications include:

Reducing jumbo rolls to smaller customer rolls for packaging or distribution
Precision slitting of wide webs into multiple widths for diverse product lines
Rewinding to exact roll lengths for logistics and order fulfilment
Industrial narrowing and trimming for further web finishing or converting processes

Automation, safety, and simple operation come standard

Recipe-based automation simplifies roll length conversion. Operators can switch formats quickly and manage runs with confidence. Inline monitoring systems, accurate length measurement, and industry-leading safety guarding keep your team and equipment protected. Automatic roll discharge and ergonomic handling further support safe, high-productivity environments.

Features for production efficiency and safety

Flexible system layouts adapt to changing business or material demands.
Closed-loop controls guarantee stable tension and product quality at all speeds.
Advanced dust filtration protects line equipment and final products.
Expert after-sales support, original spare parts, and training keep your lines running efficiently.

Roll length conversion is central to modern web processing in nonwovens, paper, and film. CAMPEN’s lines can be combined with coating, printing, or laminating to minimise handling steps and optimise continuous production.
