Complete spunlace slitting solutions for nonwoven production

Since the 1970s, CAMPEN Machinery A/S has delivered robust, reliable converting and winding systems for nonwoven manufacturing. Our spunlace slitting solutions offer solid mechanical design and advanced control, ready to meet the needs of continuous, high-capacity operations. From shaftless unwinding to high-accuracy slitter rewinder units, each machine ensures safe operation, consistent roll quality, and reduced waste during nonwoven converting.
Advanced web tension control and automatic knife positioning make precise, high-speed slitting easy. Upstream and downstream synchronisation enable steady material flow, while clear operator guidance results in stable handling of large-diameter rolls and dependable output.

Complete solutions for spunlace slitting in nonwoven production

CAMPEN supplies fully integrated spunlace slitting and rewinding lines, customised for your specific nonwoven applications. We design each line to fit your web type, roll dimensions, and speed targets. From unwinding to finished slit rolls, our focus is efficiency, safety, and repeatable results in nonwoven manufacturing.

• Shaftless unwinding with hydraulic roll loading manages mother rolls up to 2,000 mm diameter, reducing changeover time.
• Automatic web guiding and closed-loop web tension control keep your material stable, even at wide web widths and high speeds.
• Multiple slitting methods—razor, shear, or crush knife—allow you to tailor slitting for fibre structure and required edge quality.
• Automatic knife positioning speeds up setup and supports error-free changeovers.
• Edge trimming with efficient extraction systems keeps the line clean and maintains product quality.
• Choose centre or surface rewinding, with single or turret slitter rewinder options for flexible roll handling.
• Integrated roll handling and automatic discharge reduce manual involvement and speed up downstream processes.
• Automation through PLC, recipe-driven changes, and inline inspection enable reliable, traceable results every shift.
• Dust extraction systems support workplace hygiene in fibre-rich environments.
• Safety guarding, CE-compliant design, and operator-friendly access protect your staff while improving uptime.

Our slitting platforms are energy-efficient, reliable, and easy to operate—supporting width reduction, roll length adjustment, or full roll-to-roll nonwoven converting.

Features that boost output and optimise quality

CAMPEN combines robust engineering with intuitive control. Each feature is designed to help your business run more efficiently, ensure product quality, and keep costs under control.

• Stable handling of large-diameter rolls enables longer production runs and fewer changeovers.
• Precise spunlace slitting minimises edge waste and cuts material costs.
• Reliable high-speed slitting protects downstream process efficiency and helps meet tight delivery schedules.
• Flexible support for heavy mother rolls simplifies in-plant logistics.
• Closed-loop web tension control maintains uniform basis weights and reduces web defects.
• Rugged build for 24/7 use extends service intervals and maximises uptime.
• Automatic knife positioning ensures quick format changes and supports small or frequent order runs.
• Integration with upstream and downstream equipment improves overall productivity and OEE.

Operators benefit from high-clarity HMI panels and recipe management, making training and operation straightforward. Guided web threading and setup minimise errors. Controlled edge trimming and suction reduce dust and risk of fire for fibre-rich lines. Remote diagnostics and modular drives allow fast troubleshooting and maintenance interventions.

All key components—including bearings and drives—are sized for demanding, continuous industrial operation. Standardised spare parts and easy maintenance keep costs manageable. If production needs change, you can add knives, increase width, or boost speed using the same base platform.

Integration, flexible formats, and supported materials in slitting

CAMPEN spunlace slitting equipment fits seamlessly into your existing nonwoven production. Direct interfaces connect with hydroentanglement, drying, accumulation, packing, or palletising units. Clear signals and robust safety systems keep the entire line in sync.

Common applications for spunlace slitting lines

• Converting jumbo rolls into smaller or retail-ready rolls for storage and shipping.
• Slitting mother rolls into narrow rolls for wipes, medical, or hygiene product lines.
• Cutting precise formats ready for further processing or private-label conversion.
• Rewinding to shorter roll lengths for secondary processes.
• Accurate roll width reduction and edge trimming to support final product quality.

Our spunlace slitting solutions serve nonwoven producers, hygiene product manufacturers, flexible packaging converters, industrial roll processors, and composite material producers. Integrated roll handling, web guiding, tension control, and automatic roll discharge make material flow efficient and safe. Recipe-driven changes shorten setup between order runs. Inline inspection, data tracing, and quality monitoring support audits and continuous improvement.
