Robust rubber sheet cutting machine for efficient, precise web handling

For over 50 years, CAMPEN Machinery A/S has developed and supplied robust converting machinery for stable, efficient roll-to-roll production. Our rubber sheet cutting machine builds on this long-standing experience. It delivers reliable performance, precise web handling, and is easy to operate. You can process rubber rolls and elastic materials with tight tolerances, reduced waste, and consistent output. Our technical expertise in engineering, assembly, and testing ensures each solution is ready for continuous, demanding duty in your facility.

Advanced solutions for handling rubber and elastic webs

Processing rubber webs and elastic materials requires strict control to avoid stretching, sticking, or deformation. The rubber sheet cutting machine counters these risks with advanced load-cell tension control and robust drive systems. This ensures clean cuts, accurate widths, and stable web handling. The result is reduced scrap and high output quality across every shift.

Each machine is tailored to your specific material and process demands. We support various cutting and slitting systems, such as shear, score, or crush slitting, optimised for your rubber web’s physical properties. Guillotine and rotary knives guarantee repeatable, high-precision cutting. Supporting features include web guides, anti-adhesive rollers, and nip control, providing reliable, smooth material flow. Options like static discharge, dust extraction, and edge trimming support hygiene and safety in sensitive operations.

• Controlled unwinding protects soft cores and prevents telescoping during roll changes
• Load-cell feedback maintains uniform thickness and width
• Integrated web guiding reduces lateral drift and edge waste
• Knife and slitter selection matches the hardness and filler content of your rubber materials
• Surface or centre winding options create stable, compact rolls
• Hygienic, smooth panels make the solution ideal for pharmaceutical rubber processing

Engineered details ensure you get accurate handling, safety, and repeatable performance. Operators benefit from shorter changeover times and fewer stoppages, increasing line efficiency and limiting material loss.

Applying nonwoven expertise to rubber processing

CAMPEN has specialised in nonwoven and roll-to-roll converting since the 1970s. Rubber and nonwoven webs pose similar processing challenges, including low tension and stretch or pressure sensitivity. Our rubber sheet cutting machine reflects this technical know-how, providing reliable and easy-to-operate performance with precise cutting results.

A hygienic design comes as standard, supporting the clean operations demanded by pharmaceutical and high-purity industries. Smooth surfaces and accessible layouts allow for simple cleaning and consistent sanitation. Material contact points are chosen to meet your required hygiene levels. Each solution complies with EU safety directives and features interlocks and emergency stops. All machines undergo in-house testing, with options for FATs using your process materials.

• Robust frames absorb vibration and ensure clean edge quality
• Synchronised drives maintain accurate speed and web tracking
• Digital recipe control allows repeatable settings and quick restarts
• HMI diagnostics support quick troubleshooting to reduce downtime
• Quick-change knife systems limit maintenance interruptions
• CE certification helps you meet compliance and audit requirements

You get stable, reliable production, consistent web quality, and fewer web handling issues downstream. Our responsive service and spare part support help you maintain high equipment uptime.

Flexible configurations to fit your process

Every production environment is different. We configure your rubber sheet cutting machine to fit your layout, rubber web type, core size, and hygiene routines. Key options include single or turret unwinders for minimal roll changes, automatic splicing for continuous running, and accumulators or dancers for tension management during roll changes. Vision and laser monitoring can verify slitter and cutting accuracy in real time. Data logging enables traceability and service tracking.

Our machines integrate easily with upstream and downstream equipment—whether linking to calenders, laminators, extruders, packaging, or inspection units. Safety interlocks and communication protocols are matched to your automation requirements for smooth installation and operation.

• Modular unwind, slitting, and rewinding units allow for upgrades as your needs change
• Edge trim handling keeps your workspace safe and tidy
• Core handling options lower manual lifting and improve ergonomics for operators
• Energy-efficient drives can reduce your operating costs
• Connectivity supports OEE tracking and maintenance planning
• Comprehensive training and start-up support speed up ramp-up

You receive a robust, easy-to-use rubber sheet cutting machine with advanced safety features. Our documentation and clearly guarded zones help your team maintain safe and productive daily operation.
