Efficient short roll conversion is essential for demanding web materials and high-volume production. CAMPEN Machinery A/S delivers reliable solutions that keep manufacturers competitive worldwide. Our focus on robust engineering and advanced controls guarantees low waste, high uptime, and safe operations—key advantages for industries working with nonwovens, films, laminates, and technical textiles. With decades of experience, we support consistent, quality output from every short roll conversion line we build.
Modern production requires conversion systems equipped for both speed and flexibility. CAMPEN’s short roll conversion lines include shaftless unwinds with hydraulic lifts, giving operators safe and easy jumbo roll handling. High-precision closed-loop tension control and automatic web guiding deliver stable, wrinkle-free processing—vital for sensitive or technical materials. We offer a range of slitting methods—razor, shear, or crush—to suit your material properties.
Rewinding options include centre, surface, and turret configurations. These ensure optimal packing density, rapid roll changes, and reliable roll quality. Fully automatic roll discharge, efficient trim extraction, and integrated roll transport all help reduce manual tasks and enhance safety. User-friendly HMI screens, PLC controls, and recipe-based set-ups make format changes straightforward and traceable. Quality is built into every step, from robust frames to intuitive software.
Every system is engineered for seamless integration with upstream and downstream processes, supporting reliable roll-to-roll converting across various web materials. The result is highly efficient short roll conversion, tailored to your product specifications.
Short roll conversion affects your yield, costs, and downstream operations. Our machines achieve tight tolerances even at high web speeds thanks to accurate knife positioning and strong control systems. Inline inspection and clear traceability help identify issues immediately, supporting continuous improvement and customer satisfaction. With robust safety measures such as CE-compliant guarding and interlocks, operators can work confidently and securely.
Comprehensive dust extraction protects both the product and your equipment, lengthening service intervals and ensuring consistent quality. Rigorous design standards prevent vibration, minimise edge defects, and maintain uniform roll diameters essential for packaging, printing, or further processing.
Systems are fully customisable: we adapt knife types, wrap angles, and nip pressures to the unique needs of your application, ensuring consistent quality and reliable operation in every short roll conversion job.
CAMPEN’s conversion machinery is built for round-the-clock use. Heavy-duty frames, high-quality bearings, and industrial-grade drives contribute to long service life and lower maintenance costs. Smart condition monitoring and remote diagnostics help identify issues before they cause downtime. Training programmes and detailed documentation further support safe, efficient daily production.
Our systems deliver end-to-end automation, from shaftless unwinding to automatic roll discharge. For clients with advanced requirements, MES or ERP integration simplifies data tracking and accelerates format changes. Collaborating closely with your technical team, we design solutions that integrate seamlessly into your manufacturing environment.
Since the 1970s, CAMPEN Machinery A/S has been helping manufacturers upgrade their web handling processes. Our deep knowledge encompasses all aspects of slitting, rewinding, and logistic automation for large and small diameter rolls. This expertise allows us to match your requirements for speed, tension, and consistent short roll conversion quality, regardless of your material type.
If you are reviewing your production or launching a new product, our engineers can assess your needs and propose a robust, easy to operate conversion system. Whether you need to improve yield, add flexibility or upgrade safety features, CAMPEN delivers solutions that boost your productivity and quality.
