Spunlace roll conversion solutions for efficient nonwoven production

Since the 1970s, CAMPEN Machinery A/S has supported nonwoven producers with reliable spunlace roll conversion solutions. Our lines combine robust mechanics with precise automation to help you maintain high-speed production and consistent product quality. Each system is tailored to your process and material requirements. You benefit from deep experience in nonwoven technology and reliable service from engineering to commissioning.

Engineered converting lines for nonstop spunlace roll conversion

Our complete roll-to-roll systems for spunlace roll conversion support both medium and large-scale production. Each line incorporates modules that protect fibre structure and ensure stable web handling. A shaftless unwind system with hydraulic loading accelerates roll changes and limits manual work. Integrated web guiding systems maintain material alignment, while closed-loop tension control delivers repeatable profiles and steady winding. Slitting options include razor, shear and crush knives, suitable for a wide range of fibrous webs and basis weights. Trim extraction ensures fast removal of waste. Choose from centre winding, surface winding or turret rewinding systems for maximum flexibility and minimum downtime.

• Web tension control reduces losses from breaks and cut-offs, improving efficiency.
• Flexible slitting modules speed up set-up and minimise downtime during job changes.
• Stable mother roll handling protects product quality and prevents damage during conversion.
• Industrial-grade components provide long service life with reduced maintenance.
• Automated roll logistics lower manual handling and enhance overall safety.

Our slitter rewinder platforms scale from pilot to high-capacity production. Format recipes support quick, consistent repeat jobs. Inline defect inspection and safety systems are available to help you maintain regulatory compliance and product integrity. These features combine to deliver continuous spinning, accurate edges and repeatable roll builds, while reducing web waste from start to finish.

Efficient slitting and width reduction tailored for performance

In spunlace roll conversion, precise roll width and length are critical. Our automated knife positioning allows accurate format changes and minimum waste. Roll width and length reduction can be performed in one pass, supported by automated web guiding and tension control systems. Edge trimming, combined with dust extraction, keeps your workspace efficient and clean, while protecting downstream machinery.

• Razor slitting allows gentle handling for fine, lightweight spunlace webs.
• Shear slitting provides reliable results at higher speeds and with tougher fibres.
• Crush slitting supports specialty requirements as your process demands.
• Turret rewinding minimises roll changeover times, boosting overall throughput.

Tasks supported include converting large jumbo rolls to custom widths, slitting wide mother rolls into narrow versions, and preparing rolls for packaging or further processing. Control interfaces are user-friendly, utilising clear HMI screens and simple PLC automation. Operators can rely on precision, safety, and easy format management. Your end customers benefit from cleanly cut edges, stable roll structure, and accurate repeatability—helping improve productivity and satisfaction throughout the supply chain.

Safe and reliable mother roll handling in spunlace processes

Handling heavy mother rolls is central to spunlace roll conversion success. CAMPEN’s logistics solutions include engineered mother roll handling and jumbo roll handling modules, automating movement and storage of heavy rolls. Roll transport systems and shaftless unwinds simplify logistics and protect cores from damage. Automatic roll discharge limits manual lifting, boosting safety. We offer integrated roll conveyors, lifting tables and storage systems for efficient movement between production stages.

• Sturdy frame design and robust drives ensure reliable handling of large diameter rolls.
• Integrated web guiding and tension management support stable processing across every stage.
• Multiple rewinding options enable optimal roll configurations for each spunlace grade.
• Inline web inspection allows for early detection of defects and reduced rework rates.
• Dust extraction and filtration maintain operator safety and a clean production environment.

We collaborate closely with nonwoven converters and roll goods manufacturers across Europe and internationally. Each project comes with detailed documentation, operator training, and remote support options. You gain a reliable, robust, easy to operate spunlace roll conversion line, designed to meet your goals for output, quality and cost control.
