robust and precise rubber slitter for quality web processing

Since the 1970s, CAMPEN Machinery A/S has developed converting equipment for dependable, round-the-clock operation. We combine specialist knowledge of nonwoven processes with robust mechanical engineering and intuitive controls. If you process rubber rolls or elastic webs, our rubber slitter delivers the cutting accuracy and reliability your production depends on. Each system is tailored to your line conditions, with solutions proven to safeguard quality and increase uptime. We analyse your requirements, carry out thorough testing, and adapt each machine to achieve your production goals.

Precision slitting for rubber and elastic materials

Our rubber slitter is designed for consistent cutting of demanding materials, including soft, elastic or tacky rubber webs. All components—unwinders, drives and frames—are dimensioned for the higher loads and unique handling requirements of rubber. The carefully engineered web path helps prevent stretching, telescoping and wrinkling, which preserves product quality and minimises unplanned stoppages.

Performance-driven features for reliable output

Closed-loop tension control using load cells maintains precise web tension and consistent roll density throughout the run, reducing material waste and ensuring uniform quality.
Multiple slitting options—including shear, score and crush methods—are configured to suit your rubber’s properties and deliver clean, accurate edges.
Knife positioning systems with clear operator interfaces streamline set-up and cut changeover times, reducing set-up errors.
Precise unwinder brakes and nip pressure adjustment prevent web wander and thickness marks, increasing accuracy and limiting defects.
Edge guiding and inline inspection can maximise yield and help detect quality issues before they affect output.
Both surface and centre winding solutions are available, so you can achieve stable rolls suited to your specific rubber web or roll application.

These design choices support waste reduction, consistent safety standards, and a smooth production flow. The overall machine layout, safety guarding and HMI are kept straightforward so your operators can run and maintain the rubber slitter confidently.

Optimising hygiene and cleanliness for sensitive materials

Pharmaceutical rubber and other sensitive materials have strict process requirements. To lower contamination risk and support easy, effective cleaning, our rubber slitter is built with hygienic design in mind. These solutions help you uphold product purity and enable rapid changeovers between batches.

Hygienic features for critical processing areas

Stainless steel or coated frames and smooth, cleanable surfaces comply with hygiene standards for pharmaceutical and cleanroom applications.
Wide access points and safety interlocks simplify cleaning and allow for quick knife changes.
Low-dust slitting principles and integrated dust collection maintain clean webs and a healthier workspace.
Antistatic bars and related measures limit particle build-up, supporting smooth web transport.
Recipe management and printable batch reports make it easy to meet documentation and audit requirements.

We draw on decades of nonwoven handling expertise to engineer nip design and winding performance that keeps your rubber webs flat and mark-free. This approach leads to fewer rejects, traceability for audits, and higher-quality finished rolls.

Customised engineering and lasting support

Rubber converting lines vary widely—from roll widths and line speeds to hardness, tack and adhesive backing. We use modular designs combined with site-specific adaptations to ensure your rubber slitter integrates seamlessly into your facility. Your system is engineered to match your current set-up, with future flexibility built in.

Partnering with your team for dependable results

We conduct process studies and production trials to identify the right slitting method, blade technology and line speed.
3D engineering reviews confirm that ergonomics, operator safety and access requirements are met before manufacture.
Full factory acceptance testing guarantees that web control, cut precision and roll consistency meet your standards.
We provide on-site commissioning, thorough operator training and spare parts planning to support rapid start-up and maintain high availability.
Remote diagnostics and upgrade packages help you sustain top production levels throughout the machine’s lifecycle.

CAMPEN Machinery A/S has delivered high-quality converting machinery for decades, serving industries like nonwoven, hygiene and technical textiles. Our track record ensures your rubber slitter is not only robust and reliable but also designed for simple, cost-effective operation over many years.
