Reliable tension control systems for rubber rolls

For over five decades, CAMPEN Machinery A/S has delivered reliable tension control for rubber rolls and other sensitive materials. Our solutions combine robust mechanical engineering, advanced control systems, and practical process expertise. We design and supply easy-to-operate machinery tailored to your specific web processes. Partnering with web and nonwoven producers since the 1970s, we focus on safe operation, consistent quality, and minimal cost per roll. This approach helps you achieve stable production and repeatable roll quality across every project.

Engineered systems for consistent rubber web tension

Precise handling is essential for rubber and elastic webs. Variations in thickness or adhesion can lead to web breaks, wrinkles, or telescoping if control is not robust. Our tension control systems for rubber rolls use closed-loop feedback to ensure stable performance at every speed and during every splice. The result is reliable web tension that protects both product and process.

Core features that ensure process stability

Load cell feedback: Maintains set tension with high precision, protecting web thickness and reducing waste during ramp-up and starts.
Motor-driven unwinding and rewinding: Modulates torque smoothly, preventing web stretching and promoting even roll builds.
Defined tension zones: Driven nips isolate critical sections, stabilising web flow and preventing slip or wrinkle formation in tacky or elastic materials.
Dynamic web guiding: Sensors and actuators keep the web centred, reducing edge trim waste and protecting slitting knives.
Recipe management: Stores individual product settings to speed up changeovers and guarantee repeatable quality run after run.

All components are selected for the demands of rubber web handling, including accessories like idlers, non-stick coverings, and optimised web paths. These details help ensure smooth web transport, reliable roll quality, and reduce the need for manual intervention during production.

Integrated solutions for full web lines

CAMPEN can integrate advanced tension control for rubber rolls into complete roll-to-roll lines or retrofit existing machinery. Our solutions are designed to coordinate unwinding, web guiding, slitting, spreading, and rewinding operations with high accuracy. Automation synchronises every motor and sensor for your specific process targets, whether slitting, converting, or coating.

Performance-oriented functions for web handling

Automatic unwinding with diameter control: Prevents tension spikes, minimising web breaks and waste.
Splice tables and accumulators: Facilitate smooth roll changes with stable tension during splicing operations.
Precision slitting units: Deliver clean slit edges and accurate slit widths for premium roll quality.
Winding pressure management: Ensures uniform roll build, decreases telescoping, and enhances storage stability.
Data logging and alarms: Detect process deviations early, enabling rapid troubleshooting and reduced downtime.

Every tension control solution for rubber rolls is adapted to your material, width, and process demands. We supply options designed for elastic web handling, anti-stick surfaces, and protection for coated or tacky substrates. Our goal is to deliver stable, robust, and safe operation across all line sections.
