Wetlaid nonwoven handling solutions for efficient, low-tension production

Since the 1970s, CAMPEN Machinery A/S has provided reliable, robust, and easy-to-operate equipment for wetlaid nonwoven handling. We help producers manage sensitive materials with confidence. Our systems deliver stable production, ensure low and consistent tension, and reduce material waste. With a focus on practical solutions, we help you overcome challenges and support efficient wetlaid nonwoven handling shift after shift.

Efficient accumulation and transport for sensitive nonwovens

Web and belt accumulators play a critical role in the handling of wetlaid, meltblown, and lightweight spunbond nonwovens. These systems are specifically engineered to provide low-tension web handling for delicate materials. Reliable tension control helps prevent edge tears and web breaks before winding, supporting high first-pass yield and reduced waste.

Our wetlaid nonwoven handling solutions use gentle belts and closed-loop controls to keep tension stable and web movement smooth. These features are essential for transporting sensitive and lightweight nonwovens without causing marking or damage. Synchronisation with the winder absorbs line stops and restarts, ensuring the web remains intact and operators can rely on predictable machine response.

• Low-tension web transport reduces risk of fibre damage and defects
• Belt-driven accumulators enable tension-free accumulation during process interruptions
• Effective synchronisation produces clean, tightly wound rolls with minimal edge defects
• Guided web paths support low gsm and sensitive wetlaid applications
• Compact machine footprints simplify threading and access for cleaning
• Flexible modular design adapts to various line speeds and widths

The outcome is consistent wetlaid nonwoven handling with fewer unplanned stops, optimal roll quality, and reduced waste throughout your operation.

Technical advantages and operational reliability

CAMPEN Machinery A/S produces wetlaid nonwoven handling equipment in Denmark, built to rigorous standards for reliability and quality. Each unit is assembled and thoroughly tested before shipment, ensuring every component delivers dependable performance in real-world production.

Our control systems use intuitive HMIs and proven drive technologies. This makes operation straightforward for staff and supports repeatable runs with minimal training. Proper synchronisation with upstream and downstream processes ensures stable, safe operation of your entire nonwoven line.

• Closed-loop drives keep web tension precise, supporting flat, defect-free nonwoven webs
• Strong machine frames reduce vibration, helping protect delicate fibre structures in wetlaid or spunbond webs
• Edge and web alignment systems cut trim losses, saving material
• Surfaces are hygienic and easy to clean, meeting wetlaid production requirements
• Energy-efficient components help lower power consumption across the line
• Remote diagnostics and prompt spare part services reduce downtime risk

Our experience gives customers peace of mind. We consider the full nonwoven process, both upstream and downstream, to prevent problems, make production more efficient, and protect your investment in sensitive nonwoven technology.

Customised wetlaid nonwoven solutions tailored to your line

Each nonwoven production line is different, and we tailor our wetlaid nonwoven handling systems to your exact process, material, and space. At project start, we review your technical requirements—fibre type, web width, speeds, and specific handling needs. We combine this with safety and operational goals, ensuring the final equipment protects the web, fits your footprint, and meets your performance targets.

CAMPEN offers multiple mechanical and control options for optimal integration with your existing nonwoven production line. Our engineers provide on-site installation, FAT/SAT support, and operator training for a smooth commissioning process. This results in a system ready for reliable operation from day one.

• Belt geometry and web paths minimise web contact and marking
• Capacity and buffer options allow uninterrupted production during line disturbances
• Automated break detection and web guidance stabilise fragile webs
• Optional anti-static and ionisation reduce dust and fibre sticking
• Advanced recipe management enables consistent results and quick changeovers
• Integrated data logging supports traceability and quality assurance

By selecting CAMPEN wetlaid nonwoven handling solutions, you invest in stable operation, reliable low-tension handling, and top product quality, whether you process wetlaid, meltblown, or lightweight spunbond webs. This gives your team confidence and allows your line to run longer with fewer disruptions.
