Web handling accumulator for stable nonwoven production

Since the 1970s, CAMPEN Machinery A/S has engineered advanced web handling systems for nonwoven production, ensuring stable, efficient, and safe processes. Our web handling accumulator delivers low-tension buffering and precise control for sensitive nonwovens before winding. Each solution is engineered to match your material types, capacity requirements, and installation space. You gain robust reliability, straightforward operation, and reduced downtime. Working closely with our customers, we help define technical needs early—ensuring you achieve optimal tension control, effective web break prevention, and high product quality through every shift.

Low-tension accumulation for sensitive and lightweight nonwovens

The CAMPEN belt accumulator handles sensitive materials, such as meltblown, wetlaid, and spunbond nonwovens, with low and stable tension. Our closed-loop control system automatically manages belt accumulator speed and synchronises the drives with the winder. This solution ensures gentle support, reduces tension variations, and secures a steady web path—all designed to protect fragile fibres and minimize web defects.

• Low tension web handling prevents breaks and eliminates edge damage risks.
• Buffers web flow during roll-to-roll handling, roll changes, and splicing to minimise scrap and stoppages.
• Belt accumulator construction supports weight without marking the web or causing surface fuzz.
• Consistent loop and tension control stabilise production and decrease manual adjustments.
• Winder synchronisation improves uptime and supports continuous operation, even at higher line speeds.

Designed for unique production lines and hygiene standards

No two production lines are the same. Each CAMPEN web accumulator is configured for your specific line width, speed, and available space. Our modular options include antistatic devices, web cleaning, and edge guiding for improved web alignment and reduced static build-up. Open, hygienic design enables fast inspection and cleaning, supporting high product standards—essential in hygiene, medical, or specialty applications.

• Processes meltblown, wetlaid, and spunbond materials, preserving integrity and surface finish.
• Wide choice of belt materials and surface designs to protect against fibre pick-up or marking.
• Precision edge guiding and web alignment to reduce waste and optimise roll uniformity.
• Integrated antistatic options manage static discharge and airborne fibres in high-speed environments.
• Designed for easy access during cleaning or maintenance, reducing stop times.

Professional integration and long-term technical support

Our engineering team draws on decades of experience integrating web handling accumulators with PLCs, HMIs, and safety systems. Understanding your entire line—forming, bonding, finishing—is key to successful accumulator implementation. We handle all aspects, from mechanical to electrical and software integration, for a smooth project process and faster line start-up.

• Factory tested and supplied with full technical documentation for fast installation and ramp-up.
• Compliance with industry safety and machine directives, protecting operators and assets.
• Built-in diagnostics, data collection, and remote support options support reliable, trouble-free operation.
• Suitable for new installations or line retrofits to expand capacity without major disruptions.
• Comprehensive aftersales support ensures reliable performance and predictable maintenance planning.
