Short roll slitting solutions engineered for efficiency and reliability

For over 50 years, CAMPEN Machinery A/S has delivered reliable converting solutions to manufacturers across the globe. We develop robust short roll slitting systems tailored to meet the production demands of the nonwoven, tissue, film, foil, and technical textile industries. Our goal is to support you with equipment that enhances production efficiency, reduces material waste, and achieves consistent quality. Through a combination of advanced automation, strong mechanical design, and practical control features, our short roll slitting systems ensure each roll meets your required tolerances for width and edge quality.

Engineered solutions for precision and low downtime

We provide short roll slitting lines that combine accuracy with ease of use. From shaftless unwinding modules that simplify mother roll handling to closed-loop tension control for perfect web management, every feature is designed for operator safety and long-term stability. Precision web guiding and automatic knife positioning minimise production errors and maintenance needs. Whether you require razor, shear, or crush knife slitting, our systems are adapted for the web materials used in packaging, technical textiles, and more.

• Shaftless unwinding handles large-diameter mother rolls safely and reduces manual workload.
• Advanced tension control systems preserve roll integrity and minimise material scrap.
• Fast-changeover knife systems help operators respond quickly to format changes.
• Surface or centre-driven rewinding methods protect sensitive materials and prevent roll defects.
• Integrated trim removal with dust extraction keeps the work area clean and compliant with hygiene standards.

All slitting lines meet CE safety requirements, including guarding and emergency stops. Operator interfaces provide simple recipe control and allow for rapid troubleshooting with detailed diagnostics. Optional inline inspection and automated roll transport streamline downstream processing and keep your workflow efficient.

Customisation for your web materials and production targets

We adapt every short roll slitting line to match your materials, output sizes, and specific processes. Our expertise covers short roll conversion for a wide range of nonwovens, tissue grades, films, technical textiles, foils, and composite webs. Systems can convert full-width mother rolls into narrow formats, reduce roll width and length to customer specifications, and rewind finished product onto new cores for next-step processing or final delivery.

• Optimised knife configurations and web paths for safe handling of delicate or high-strength substrates.
• Custom-designed idlers, wrap angles, and edge trimming deliver precise rolls with uniform width and clean edges.
• Automatic knife positioning with preset recipes reduces set-up time and potential for human error.
• Data capture and reporting ensure full traceability and consistent batch management.

Our short roll slitting solutions can be integrated with upstream mother roll handling and downstream packaging or palletising for a seamless production line. Filtration and suction systems are standard where dust or particulates must be controlled, supporting cleanliness, product quality, and machine reliability.

Proven reliability and support from CAMPEN Machinery A/S

CAMPEN’s slitter rewinder technology is built for 24/7 industrial use, supporting your requirements for stable, continuous production. Heavy-duty frames, precision bearings, and fully rated drive systems guarantee long equipment life and minimal downtime. Clear operator panels guide your personnel through recipe-based controls, knife settings, and roll reporting, ensuring correct machine setup and fast fault resolution.

• Consistent tension control and web guiding to reduce web breaks and maintain tight width tolerances.
• Robust automation keeps the process repeatable and scalable for changing production volumes.
• Comprehensive operator training is provided, ensuring confidence and safety from day one.
• Full access to spare parts, commissioning support, and remote diagnostics.
• Upgrade options available as your product range or factory capacity grows.

Our process starts by understanding your exact final roll dimensions, web materials, production speeds, and floor space. We simulate slit patterns and recommend the ideal knife, tension, and rewind configuration. Factory acceptance testing gives you complete assurance before installation, and our commissioning teams work on site to integrate your short roll slitting line and train your operators for smooth production ramp-up.
