    Heavy-duty slitter rewinder solutions designed for efficient material processing

    Rubber slitting machines: robust and precise solutions for web handling

    Since the 1970s, CAMPEN Machinery A/S has supplied manufacturers with reliable rubber slitting machines for stable and accurate web handling. Decades of experience in winding, slitting, and web tension control support our proven solutions. With each machine, you receive robust, easy-to-operate equipment that brings consistent web transport and roll quality. We address your requirements for precise slitting, safe operation, and high process uptime. Collaboration and material testing allow us to tailor solutions for rubber, elastic, and other sensitive materials. This focus helps you cut waste and ensure stability throughout production.

    Advanced slitting and rewinding of elastic and rubber webs

    Maintaining web tension and delivering precise cuts

    Rubber and elastic webs need careful management. Our rubber slitting machines feature load cell-based tension control and coordinated motor systems. These maintain stable web tension, from unwinding to rewinding, preventing stretching, telescoping, and thickness variation. Multiple knife systems, such as shear, score, or razor, provide flexibility for different tasks. Tooling and spacing can be changed quickly to reduce downtime and enhance accuracy. Both edge and centre guiding systems help ensure straight lanes and consistently clean cuts.

    All machine sections, from unwinders to rewinders, are engineered for trouble-free operation. Drives are coordinated to keep tension steady, even through speed changes or material splicing. This ensures repeatable roll quality, helps reduce waste, and supports optimal downstream processing.

    • Load cell tension control protects sensitive rubber and elastic webs.
    • Coordinated drives and separate tension zones promote process consistency.
    • Modular knife assemblies and quick-change features boost machine uptime.
    • Precision web guiding helps hold tight tolerance on slitting.

    Producing clean rolls and ensuring operator safety

    Tacky or coated rubber webs can stick and transfer material. CAMPEN machinery addresses this with anti-adhesion roller surfaces and precise wrap angles, which help limit build-up. Specially designed nips and lay-on rollers produce tight, stable rolls with minimal surface deformation. For safety, our rubber slitting machines integrate guarding, interlocks, and clear HMI controls. Operating staff benefit from simple setpoints, alarms, and status displays, streamlining both training and daily use.

    • Careful roller design minimises risk of sticking and surface damage.
    • Recipe management enables quick setup for repeat orders.
    • Integrated diagnostics support fast troubleshooting and reduced downtime.

    Industry expertise in rubber web handling and control

    Practical experience and continuous improvement

    With over fifty years of experience in winding, slitting, and web tension control systems, CAMPEN Machinery delivers solutions trusted across the world. Our experience in both rubber and nonwoven processing supports your unique requirements for elastic or sensitive webs. All rubber slitting machines are built for long service life, straightforward maintenance, and scalable upgrades.

    • All web tension control systems and web guiding are calibrated to your specific product.
    • Process data logging helps with record-keeping, quality tracking, and audits.
    • Modular platforms enable future machine upgrades or expansions.
    • We supply technical support, operator training, and quick-delivery spare parts.

    Engineered solutions for your production goals

    Each rubber slitting machine is engineered around targets such as output, uptime, and cost-efficiency. Optional turret rewinders reduce roll changeover time and increase throughput. Differential winding shafts help manage web gauge variation and keep rolls uniform. Static controls and managed airflow are available for reducing dust and defects. All features are selected to improve your specific performance targets and process efficiency.

    • Turret rewinders boost productivity and reduce manual intervention.
    • Differential shafts maintain web alignment for high-quality rolls.
    • Static control technology minimises contamination and production faults.

    From project start to stable production

    Rigorous planning and comprehensive material trials

    Project work begins with your input: materials, space, and quality targets. We define web paths, tension limits, and slitting patterns together. Trials with your material confirm slitting quality and process settings, reducing risk at commissioning. You receive full layout drawings, utilities information, and safety documentation for a clear project start.

    Your team participates in factory acceptance tests. We simulate full operation—unwinding, slitting, rewinding—and verify all control functions. This process streamlines site start-up and supports a smooth production ramp-up.

    • Focused engineering helps avoid specification errors and extra costs.
    • Thorough testing delivers safe machine handovers and reliable start-up.

    Reliable technical support and lifecycle services

    After installation, our support continues. Remote access lets our engineers help with process optimisation and updates. We supply operator training and offer audits and upgrades to help maximise machine uptime and performance. All spare parts and cutting tools can be delivered on short notice, supporting your ongoing production and quality goals.

    • Remote assistance and rapid spare part supply protect your uptime.
    • Retrofits and upgrades keep systems aligned with new safety and industry standards.
