    Slitting elastic materials: robust solutions for stable web handling

    For over fifty years, CAMPEN Machinery A/S has partnered with manufacturers to achieve stable, high-quality results when slitting elastic materials. Complexities such as web tension control and precise web guiding make these processes demanding. With our robust and easy-to-operate slitting equipment, you gain consistent roll quality and safe, efficient handling of even the most sensitive webs.

    We specialise in solutions for rubber web handling, elastic web handling, specialty laminates, and nonwovens. Our systems combine reliable mechanics with advanced control technologies. This allows accurate tension regulation from unwinding through slitting and rewinding. Consistent web tension reduces waste and the risk of product deformation. Our engineers work closely with your team, customising equipment footprints and features to meet your specific process requirements.

    Addressing challenges in slitting elastic and tension-sensitive webs

    Stable web handling and consistent roll build

    Slitting elastic materials requires careful management of tension, alignment, and cut quality. Sensitive webs such as elastomers or rubber stretch easily, making them prone to web wandering, uneven edges, and roll defects. To support process stability, our systems feature integrated load cells and closed-loop motor control for precise tension adjustment at every stage.

    • Load cell-driven feedback maintains constant tension during the entire process.
    • Advanced web guiding prevents lane shifting, edge damage, and wrinkling.
    • Precise slitting sections ensure clean, accurate cuts with optimised knife designs.
    • Controlled acceleration and deceleration help prevent product deformation during starts and stops.
    • Easy-to-use operator interfaces enable quick setup and low risk of handling errors.

    With our approach, you achieve lower scrap rates, improved uptime, and reliable operation. Maintenance teams benefit from fewer interventions, and operators run production at target speeds with confidence.

    Customised systems for robust slitting of elastic materials

    Modular configuration and smart tension control

    Every production environment for slitting elastic materials brings unique demands. CAMPEN designs modular, scalable solutions—allowing configuration of unwinders, slitting stations, web guiding units, and rewinders for your exact needs. We fit roll sizes, material types, and available floor space, integrating shear, score, or razor slitting depending on your product profile.

    Our equipment employs load cells for real-time tension regulation. Precise motor control across each axis prevents web elongation, supporting delicate or specialty webs. Specialty roller coatings and temperature control options further reduce unwanted stickiness or surface defects.

    • Knife holder quick-change systems maximise productivity and reduce downtime.
    • Torque-controlled rewinding produces compact rolls for easy handling and storage.
    • Integrated web guiding minimises edge trim and ensures perfect lane alignment.
    • Efficient dust extraction and robust construction increase reliability and reduce cleaning work.
    • Safety features protect staff during operation and maintenance.

    Our modular platforms future-proof your investment, letting you extend or upgrade capacity as production needs evolve, without extensive plant modifications.

    Reliable performance for nonwovens, laminates, and rubber webs

    Sustained quality, uptime, and easy operation

    CAMPEN has delivered roll-to-roll web handling technology since the 1970s. Our slitting solutions are proven with nonwovens, rubber, and other specialty materials. We collaborate with your process specialists to choose best-fit controls, knife types, and layouts. During commissioning, we validate slit accuracy, consistent roll build, and system safety through comprehensive factory acceptance tests.

    Post-installation, your staff receives in-depth training. Open architecture control systems allow easy access for troubleshooting and future upgrades. Comprehensive documentation and remote diagnostics ensure long-term reliability and support for your production site.

    • Application-specific advice helps stabilise difficult materials and reduce process waste.
    • Clear user interfaces enable efficient operation and short learning curves.
    • Heavy-duty frames and components contribute to long service intervals and reduced downtime.
    • Integrated data capture provides traceability and supports continuous improvement.
