Advanced and reliable rubber processing machine solutions by CAMPEN

Since the 1970s, CAMPEN Machinery A/S has provided advanced solutions for manufacturers processing challenging materials. When handling rubber rolls, elastic webs, or demanding composites, a purpose-built rubber processing machine ensures accurate slitting, clean cuts, and stable rewinding. CAMPEN delivers reliable, robust equipment engineered for long service life and consistent operation. Our in-depth web handling knowledge, project support, and focus on cost-effective reliability mean you benefit from reduced production risk, waste, and downtime.

Advanced solutions for slitting, cutting and rewinding of rubber webs

A CAMPEN rubber processing machine is designed for precise conversion of both standard and specialty rubber web materials. The process includes controlled unwinding, precise tension regulation, accurate slitting or cutting, and efficient rewinding. Applications range from pharma rubber and technical elastomers to multi-layered elastic sheets, all processed with high repeatability.

The system layout and available tooling are customised to match your product mix, web thickness, and roll length. We utilise proven web handling modules developed for the nonwoven sector—this improves cut quality and machine uptime for elastic and sensitive rubber. Knife types, nip concepts, and drive systems are specified for the material’s hardness and tack. Operators benefit from an intuitive HMI, well-placed access points, and fast job setup, which helps minimise changeover time and scrap rates.

• Closed-loop load cell tension control stops neck-in, curl, and web breaks, protecting output quality.
• Servo-controlled slitter positioners speed up changeovers and support close-tolerance lane widths.
• Precision knife systems deliver consistent cuts and cleaner edge profiles.
• Stabilising nips and spreader rollers keep elastic or sticky webs flat during processing.
• Industrial frames and high-quality drives ensure reliable 24/7 operation.
• Available options: dust extraction, antistatic units, and low-adhesion surfaces for safer, cleaner production.

Whether you require integrated slitting, batch cutting, or a combined slitter/rewinder, your rubber processing machine will be tailored to meet daily production requirements. Efficient winding and rewinding reduce product defects and simplify length changes for variable orders.

Engineered performance: precision, easy operation and low operating costs

With a CAMPEN rubber processing machine, you control quality and costs. Stable web tension, reliable web transport, and repeatable knife load maintain product accuracy and reduce the need for rework. Each system is designed for straightforward maintenance and everyday operator safety.

Every technical detail supports improved productivity, clear value, and operator comfort throughout the line. From the first test roll to continuous manufacturing, quality, safety, and efficiency are the foundation.

• Integrated load cells with AC vector motors maintain tension for full and partial rolls.
• Edge guiding systems keep webs on track and help prevent side wander during rewinding.
• Recipe recall and job memory enable standardised production and minimal operator adjustment.
• Tool-free knife cassette swap reduces downtime and raises throughput.
• Hygienic machine structures and cleanable contact points support pharma and healthcare rubber.
• Comprehensive guarding, safety zones, and interlocked covers protect personnel during all shifts.
• Remote diagnostics, data logging, and OEE tracking are available for rapid troubleshooting and process analysis.

If you handle sticky or sensitive webs, our machines include low-adhesion rollers and non-stick contact zones to prevent unwanted build-up. For thicker or high-memory rubber products, reinforced nip sections and closed-loop drive control ensure stable web paths without deformation. Every spec aims to maximise productivity, enhance safety, and reduce unnecessary material use.

Project management and support from concept to installation

CAMPEN provides full project support from the first discussion to final commissioning. Our engineering team analyses your samples, throughput targets, and technical requirements, developing a configuration that meets your goals. We propose process layouts, outline potential risks, and present detailed equipment choices. Trials and demonstrations are available so you can validate the expected slitting and winding results before commitment. Throughout, you receive clear, comprehensive documentation, project schedules, and status updates.

• Custom machine layout and web path support improved yield and reduced scrap.
• User-friendly operator stations cut learning curves and help avoid processing errors.
• Full lifecycle support—including spares, upgrades, and process troubleshooting—protects your long-term investment.
• Remote and on-site service minimise downtime globally.

Our experience from the nonwoven and technical textile industries shapes our approach to hygiene and validation standards, especially for pharma and healthcare rubber requirements. Installation, commissioning, and operator training are completed by CAMPEN’s qualified service staff. After start-up, you benefit from continuous support, quick spare parts delivery, and upgrade possibilities.
