For over fifty years, CAMPEN Machinery A/S has enabled manufacturers in nonwovens and technical textiles to achieve stable, high-quality output. Our small batch roll conversion solutions leverage proven engineering and practical collaboration with your production experts. We deliver systems designed for reliability and robust performance, tailored to your process requirements and floor layout. From project design to commissioning, our focus is on safety, continuous uptime, and straightforward operation. Benefit from precise process control, quick changeovers, and reduced material waste when converting small batch rolls of nonwoven or technical materials.
CAMPEN’s small batch roll conversion systems convert large mother rolls into market-ready short rolls with consistent quality. These solutions can be installed in-line after web formation or operated off-line as stand-alone machines. Integrated slitting and winding deliver exact dimensions and clean roll edges. Shaftless unwinding units, with automatic tension regulation, protect even delicate technical nonwovens and simplify the thread-up process.
Our high-speed winding modules use advanced ramp-up and ramp-down profiles. This ensures consistent winding density throughout the entire roll. Full automation of roll changes and cardboard core handling improves workplace safety and allows for hands-free operation. Secure hot melt sealing at each roll end keeps rolls stable during storage and transport.
An accumulator module enables controlled stop-and-go processes, so roll changes happen safely without halting upstream production. This set-up gives you reliable results, fast product changeovers, and a reduction in unexpected downtime during small batch roll conversion.
Since the 1970s, CAMPEN has equipped technical textile and nonwoven plants with high-efficiency roll conversion systems. Every machine module draws on decades of industry experience. Our equipment is designed for continuous production, reduced maintenance, and high operational lifetime. Core machine components are built for strength, stability, and long-term use. All safety features satisfy current EU directives, supporting safe operation every day.
Key system elements include clean web routing, sturdy edge guiding, and accurate tension management. Modern sensors and drive units make precise adjustments possible across different material types and roll dimensions. The operator interface is user-friendly, offering recipe management and advanced diagnostics for safe, reliable operation shift after shift.
Every feature is selected to maximise efficiency during short run production. Operators experience less downtime and waste. More rolls meet specifications on the first attempt, even during test runs or material trials.
Considerations around batch size, material, and speed are unique to every producer. CAMPEN configures small batch roll conversion to fit your operations—whether outputting geotextiles, felts, fibreglass, rubber sheets, plastic films, or advanced nonwoven materials. Process parameters for web tension and winding speed are customised to your needs. The equipment can be integrated into existing lines or supplied as an independent, stand-alone unit.
Our automated systems are ready for modern plant control, with capabilities for data exchange and network integration. Accumulator-assisted roll changes reduce production stops, while automated tube handling and web splicing simplify operator tasks. From on-site acceptance to operator instruction and production ramp-up, we support your team at each step for a smooth launch.
With a CAMPEN solution, your operation gains a robust, future-ready small batch roll conversion capability. You maintain control of production costs, safeguard roll consistency, and meet changing customer requirements with confidence.
