Short roll winder with tension control for fiberglass and laminates

CAMPEN Machinery A/S supplies reliable short roll winder solutions with tension control for fiberglass and laminates. Our systems provide stable line operation, consistent web tension, and high product quality. The short roll winder with tension control for fiberglass and laminates delivers precise tension, quick changeovers, and uniform web handling. Operators gain an easy-to-operate, safe process that supports efficient production of short sales rolls.

Efficient winding for fiberglass and laminate materials

Manufacturing with fiberglass, composite laminates, and technical nonwovens requires stable, adjustable web tension. Our short roll winder uses advanced control features—including dancer systems, load-cell monitoring, and recipe management—to maintain accurate tension through all line speeds. This prevents roll defects like telescoping and core deformation, ensuring material geometry remains consistent even with variable thickness or material properties.

Key process benefits for your operations

• Precise web tension reduces scrap and maintains roll flatness, length, and width tolerances.
• High-speed winding supports larger production volumes and fast conversion of mother rolls to short rolls.
• Hot melt or adhesive sealing of roll ends gives robust, clean edges and avoids unraveling during transit or storage.
• Automatic roll change minimises operator intervention, increases safety, and maximises uptime.
• Tubing systems integrate cardboard tube handling, reducing manual lifting and improving ergonomics.

Shaftless unwinding and accumulator modules maintain constant tension while supporting fast mother roll changes. Integrated slitting allows precise cuts across the web, producing rolls at custom lengths and widths, ready for conversion or direct shipping. The solution fits both continuous line integration and batch or off-line setups, providing flexible production for diverse materials.

Whether for geotextiles, spunlace, airlaid, or reinforced laminates, our machine’s adjustable controls and modular design make it a reliable tool in technical textile and composite manufacturing. Consistent, gentle web handling preserves material strength, ensuring every short roll meets your quality rules.

Flexible systems for in-line and off-line short roll production

Our short roll winder with tension control for fiberglass and laminates fits both new lines and retrofits to existing equipment. The system is suitable for in-line short roll winding directly after web formation, or for off-line converting to give maximum process flexibility. Integrated web guiding and edge alignment ensure clean roll edges, while accumulators reduce waste during automatic roll change cycles. You can select single or multiple slitting lanes to increase yield and customise roll sizes for specific orders.

Productivity and quality advantages

• Direct roll-to-pack and minimal material handling accelerate your workflow and reduce costs.
• Flexible web width and roll diameter settings accommodate varying customer requirements.
• Automatic roll change and core feeding decrease line interruptions and manual work.
• Edge guiding and slitting efficiency result in neat, ready-to-ship rolls with minimal trim loss.
• Integration with production IT or MES systems enables real-time quality data collection.

User-friendly HMI gives operators control of parameters like roll length, diameter, and web tension. Built-in safety, with secure guards and quick-stop features, supports safe operation and simple maintenance. Our machines align with CE requirements and can be cleaned and serviced with minimal downtime, driving safer and more reliable operation shift after shift.
