Stable and efficient tension control for rubber web

Since the 1970s, CAMPEN Machinery A/S has delivered reliable solutions for tension control for rubber web. Manufacturers depend on our robust, easy-to-operate systems to handle complex and elastic webs. We combine technical expertise with a deep understanding of production needs. Our focus is process stability, consistent roll quality, and seamless integration with your existing equipment. With minimal training and maintenance, our tension control for rubber web provides long-term value and dependable performance.

Advanced web handling for rubber and elastic materials

Rubber and elastic webs demand specialist handling compared to paper, film, or nonwoven webs. These materials are prone to stretching, shrinkage, and lateral drift if tension is not controlled precisely. CAMPEN’s closed-loop tension control for rubber web uses load cells and direct-drive systems for fast, accurate response. This keeps web tension constant during speed changes, splicing, and roll build-up. By stabilizing tension, you minimize defects such as telescoping, edge curl, or wrinkling, protecting your material investment.

Benefits of efficient tension control in rubber web processing

Stable web tension reduces stretching and deformation, ensuring the final product meets quality standards.
Consistent tension during unwinding and rewinding creates uniform rolls and reduces material waste.
High-precision slitting relies on stable tension to maintain accurate edges and decrease scrap rates.
Recipe management and automated set-ups reduce operator errors and speed up product changeovers.
Integration of web guiding reduces lateral drift, helping prevent breaks and maintaining straight edges.
Efficient drive systems lower energy use and operating costs for your line.

We supply complete web handling lines or modular retrofits to meet your specific process and product. Our tension control for rubber web adapts to various widths, thicknesses, speeds, and material types. Each zone—unwind, slitting, web guiding, rewind—is customised for your requirements, ensuring smooth operation. User-friendly operator panels, available in multiple languages, simplify daily control and monitoring. Training is provided so your team can operate with confidence from the start.

Solutions for coated, laminated, and adhesive rubber webs

Many rubber webs feature coatings, laminates, or adhesive surfaces which require gentle, precise tension control for reliable handling. CAMPEN adapts roller coverings, contact profiles, and nip technologies to prevent damage. Non-stick rollers, low-wrap designs, and gentle nip controls are available to reduce the risk of blocking or marking sensitive webs. For temperature-sensitive materials, we offer cooling or heating options to maintain stable web temperature and effective tension control.

Technical highlights and features for customer value

Load cell feedback maintains tight tension tolerances for repeatable, high-quality output.
Torque-controlled centre and surface winders help avoid loose rolls or telescoping during winding.
Automated taper tension prevents core crushing and supports smooth edges as rolls build in diameter.
Shafted and shaftless unwind options improve safety and boost uptime for different web widths.
Edge detection and web guiding keep slit edges straight and reduce off-cuts.
Open, easy-clean machine layouts support hygiene standards and simplify daily maintenance routines.

Our experience in nonwoven and rubber web applications allows us to deliver high-performance systems across industries. We have supported roll-to-roll production lines for decades, helping manufacturers achieve reliable, repeatable results.

Comprehensive support from assessment to operation

We understand every production line has unique requirements. Our process begins with a thorough assessment of your current web tension control for rubber web, process layout, and goals. We analyse tension requirements, speeds, splice methods, and product specifications. If needed, we test solutions and propose phased upgrades. Clients receive clear project plans detailing expected results, project costs, and implementation timelines.

Maximising uptime, safety, and operational value

Pre-assembled modules minimise installation time and production disruption.
CE-marked mechanical designs and safety features protect both operators and maintenance teams.
