Since the 1970s, CAMPEN Machinery A/S has supported converters and nonwoven manufacturers in achieving stable rubber web handling throughout all production phases. Our solutions focus on robust web transport, precise tension control, and consistent roll quality for challenging materials such as elastic films and tacky laminates. Through advanced control systems and reliable mechanical designs, we help reduce scrap, downtime, and maintenance. You get durable equipment, intuitive operator interfaces, and a partner who understands your need for stable and efficient production.
CAMPEN offers full roll-to-roll lines and modular units engineered for rubber web handling, elastic webs, and specialty nonwovens. Every machine is tailored for efficient unwinding, guided transport, accurate slitting, and defect-free rewinding. Our hardware is robust, while our control architecture is structured for clarity, ease of service, and operational safety. These systems give you minimum material waste and steady process flows, even when dealing with friction-sensitive or sticky materials.
Settings for roller coatings, wrap angles, and contact surfaces are adapted to minimise marking and blocking, even with elastic or friction-sensitive webs. Special release coatings and optimised web paths further reduce telescoping and operator adjustment. The result is predictable roll quality and lower process variation.
Precision web tension plays a vital role in rubber web handling. Our tension control systems feature load cells, closed feedback loops, and intelligent motor drives to ensure proper tension levels during unwinding, transport, slitting, and rewinding. These systems deliver consistent elongation, minimise wrinkles, and guarantee reliable roll structure on every product batch.
System components, from drives and gearboxes to brakes and rollers, are selected based on your web material and line performance needs. Our control logic actively rejects disturbances from upstream or downstream processes. When needed, we integrate accumulators, web buffers, or anti-deflection rollers to reduce tension fluctuations during slitting, operator activity, or unplanned pauses. This attention to detail supports higher yields and safer operation.
Leading producers in the nonwovens and special material segments trust CAMPEN for winding and converting technology. Our rubber web handling solutions are engineered for reliable operation in continuous-use environments. With rigid frames, dynamically balanced rollers, and clear control interfaces, maintenance is simple and machine lifespans are long.
CAMPEN works directly with your engineering, production, and maintenance teams from the first project review to final commissioning. You benefit from open communication with technical experts and a clear focus on your performance targets. Our solution-driven approach ensures dependable rubber web handling, stable web transport, and measurable improvements in yield, quality, and scrap rates.
Share details on your material type, width, line speed, and production challenges—whether you face web breaks, winding instability, edge defects, or roll blocking. Our team will review your needs and propose realistic solutions with clear targets. Whether you need upgraded unwinding, high-precision slitting, or a complete roll-to-roll system, our engineers are ready to support your goals.
