Roll size reduction solutions for efficient industrial production

At CAMPEN Machinery A/S, we provide robust roll size reduction solutions for industrial converting. Since the 1970s, we have supplied reliable, easy-to-operate systems designed for demanding, round-the-clock production. Our roll size reduction lines combine mechanical strength with smart, user-friendly controls. We help you achieve stable output, high efficiency, and consistent quality.
We work closely with your engineers and operators. Together, we define the roll size reduction format, working speed, and safety level that match your substrates and production goals.

The importance of optimising roll size for consistent production

Roll size reduction converts wide or long mother rolls into the exact formats you need downstream. Our integrated systems manage mother roll handling, slitting, width and length reduction, and controlled roll transport. This guarantees reliable roll width and roll length reduction, supporting high-speed, large-volume manufacturing.

CAMPEN’s roll size reduction lines are designed for various substrates, such as nonwovens, tissue, films, foils, and composite textiles. Every machine prioritises ease of operation, efficient job changes, and maximised safety. Proper access and robust features deliver a smooth operating environment and reduced downtime.

Effective handling of large-diameter rolls helps avoid product damage and extend uptime.
Precise slitting with reduced edge waste keeps material costs down.
Consistent width reduction at speed maintains throughput and minimises bottlenecks.
Strong frames bear the weight of heavy mother rolls for stable, repeatable performance.
Advanced tension management stabilises the roll structure for top quality results.
Designed for non-stop, industrial-scale utilisation with minimal operator intervention.
Quick knife adjustment options speed up changeovers and improve OEE.
Seamless integration with other process equipment supports a continuous production flow.

Whether your process uses batch production or continuous roll-to-roll converting, our roll size reduction equipment is scalable and adjustable. You may add roll transport, web guiding, or trim extraction for further productivity and cleanliness. Every solution is tailored to meet your core types, materials, and output needs.

Customised modules and automation for effective size reduction

Our modular design approach allows you to address each aspect of roll size reduction with maximum reliability and process control. All modules include robust mechanics, clear operator panels, and practical diagnostics to enhance daily operations.

Safe mother roll loading and stable web control

Shaftless unwinding with hydraulic lifting streamlines roll changes and cuts manual effort.
Automatic edge guidance keeps the web perfectly matched for downstream processes.
Closed-loop web tension systems support stable processing of light or delicate substrates.

Precision slitting and adjustable roll width

Choose between razor, shear, and crush knives based on your materials and application.
Automatic knife positioning reduces set-up time and ensures correct roll width on each run.
Integrated edge trimming and waste extraction help keep lines clean with fewer stops.
Our knife modules allow for very narrow slitting with minimal deflection.

Rewinding, adjusting roll length, and efficient discharge

Both centre and surface rewinding options are available for the perfect roll build.
Turret rewinders reduce roll change time and keep production flowing.
Automated roll ejection supports operator safety and productivity.
Linked roll handling units quickly transfer finished rolls for the next production stage.

Automation, inspection, and built-in safety features

Recipe-managed PLC controls guarantee repeatable, efficient format changes.
Inline defect detection maintains quality assurance and reduces reject rates.
Dust and trim extraction enhances operator safety and plant hygiene.
Comprehensive guarding and CE certification meet all necessary safety regulations.

Proven expertise in nonwovens, tissue, and technical substrates

We serve nonwoven manufacturers, tissue converters, packaging firms, and technical textile processors worldwide. Our roll size reduction systems are a reliable choice for flexible packaging, medical products, and industrial fabrics. All solutions are developed using deep process knowledge, thorough trials, and precise specification alignment.

Our engineering team manages the process from early consultation to installation and performance ramp-up. We advise you on format selection, edge quality, knife technology, web path layout, and tension control. Support includes operator training, documentation, and spare parts availability.

Vast application and process experience reduce the risks in new lines or modernisations.
Standard modules and custom configurations support your timelines and investment targets.
Total documentation and comprehensive after-sales service secure lasting productivity.
Remote and onsite support resolve technical issues and optimise operation for the long haul.

Our roll size reduction technologies interface seamlessly with coating, laminating, printing, and packaging equipment. We engineer each integration to fit your line controls and communication platforms, supporting a safe and unified production environment.
