Short roll slitter rewinder for efficient nonwovens and technical textile converting

Our short roll slitter rewinder converts large mother rolls into reliable sales rolls with high efficiency. Since the 1970s, CAMPEN Machinery A/S has supplied robust slitter rewinder solutions for the nonwovens and technical textiles sectors. You gain the advantages of Danish engineering, reliable construction, and a quality-focused design. The system is easy to operate, safe for users, and optimised for maximum uptime. Every short roll slitter rewinder is tailored to your materials, process requirements, and line speed. Integration is possible in both new and existing production setups.

Engineered for efficient, precise and repeatable short roll production

Each short roll slitter rewinder is configured around your specific application and output targets. The machine combines accurate web slitting with tightly controlled high-speed winding in a single line. A shaftless unwinding module ensures safe roll handling, reducing manual intervention and risk for operators. Stable web paths and automatic web tension control protect delicate webs, such as spunlace and lightweight nonwoven materials, helping to minimise waste.

Our equipment supports continuous production with minimal interruptions. Automatic roll change and cardboard tube handling help reduce manual labour and speed up changeovers. Hot melt roll start and end sealing maintains clean roll edges and prevents telescoping during storage or shipping. Built-in diameter and length control ensure every sales roll meets your specifications.

• Web tension control helps preserve spunlace, airlaid and other fragile webs
• Automatic roll change and cardboard tube feeding cut downtime and operating costs
• Hot melt sealing delivers tidy roll starts and protects against roll end damage
• Controlled, high-speed winding ensures quality and roll consistency
• Accumulator system supports stop-and-go operation to maintain web integrity

You can customise your slitter rewinder with in-line slitting modules to match your product mix, including technical felts, geotextiles and plastic films. Knife positioning is fast and safe, reducing maintenance and downtime. Operators benefit from an intuitive interface, cutting down on training time. The entire solution meets strict EU safety and guarding standards.

Flexible integration: In-line and off-line roll converting options

The short roll slitter rewinder easily fits both new lines and retrofit projects. It works in-line after upstream processes or runs as an off-line roll converter for finished goods. We adapt system interfaces to your forming, laminating or coating machines, and can connect accumulator systems to secure steady output during automatic roll changes.

Automation features are a key advantage of our solution. The short roll slitter rewinder is set up for seamless data integration with plant control systems. Efficient recipe management and job queues help lower changeover time and allow flexible, responsive production. Advanced diagnostics let your staff resolve faults quickly, supporting uninterrupted output.

• Choice of in-line or off-line operation adapts to your process flow
• Integrated slitting and winding minimise handling and storage needs
• Cardboard tube magazines ensure reliable tube supply for automatic roll changes
• Waste edge handling supports a clean, efficient machine area and fewer downstream issues
• Shaftless unwinding reduces core loading times and increases overall safety

Our short roll slitter rewinder handles a range of applications, including geotextiles, composite fibres, airlaid, technical felts, plastic film, polyethylene film and rubber-based materials. Tension ranges, roll diameters and operational speeds are all specified to your production needs—delivering precise results whether you convert spunlace nonwovens or robust technical textiles.

Technical textiles and nonwoven experience for superior results

CAMPEN Machinery A/S has long experience providing slitter rewinder technology for nonwovens and technical textiles. Our solutions support web characteristics, including stretch and stiffness, and accommodate complex surface demands for geosynthetics, felts, spunlace, airlaid, and composite products. We engineer each system for reliable web protection and to maintain your productivity targets.

We start every project by assessing your goals for production speed, roll size and product quality. If required, we conduct sampling trials to define the right web tension and slitting setup. Factory acceptance tests guarantee your quality, safety and regulatory standards are met. Comprehensive training is provided so your operators can start up quickly and safely.

• Expert process support reduces commissioning time and stabilises output
• Robust build quality lowers maintenance and extends equipment life
• Energy-efficient servo drives support high-speed winding with reduced energy consumption
• Remote support and spare parts services keep your slitter rewinder operating reliably
• Clear documentation and CE conformity provide full compliance with safety standards

Our team works closely with technical managers, engineers and plant owners to deliver machines that meet performance targets now and can adapt as production changes. We can adjust slitting layouts, increase automation or strengthen data integration as your business needs develop, ensuring your investment is future-ready.
