Winder with belt accumulator for safe and efficient nonwoven handling

Since the 1970s, CAMPEN Machinery A/S has been a trusted supplier of reliable, robust technology for the nonwovens industry. We offer advanced solutions such as the winder with belt accumulator, designed specifically to protect sensitive nonwovens while increasing production line uptime. Our approach focuses on practical engineering that delivers stable performance, efficient web handling, and dependable results. We prioritise your workflow, efficiency, and product quality.

Modern production lines face pressure to solve bottlenecks, minimise waste, and maintain consistent processes. By integrating a winder with belt accumulator, operators gain precise, low-tension web control—essential for delicate nonwoven materials. Our technical specialists can support your project from the initial trial stage through to full integration, ensuring the installation matches your requirements in quality, safety, and cost-effectiveness.

Gentle web control for sensitive materials

Sensitive nonwovens, such as lightweight spunbond and meltblown materials, demand sophisticated web handling. The winder with belt accumulator features a wide belt that provides gentle and continuous support for the web, avoiding the risk of damage caused by rollers. This ensures tension-free accumulation and smooth movement of delicate webs, significantly decreasing the likelihood of stretching, flutter, or edge fraying during production.

During roll changes or web splices, synchronised controls between the accumulator and the winder keep web tension constant. This closed-loop control system reduces the risk of web breaks and supports steady production, especially important for fine nonwovens and technical textiles.

• Minimised web tension reduces defect rates and material waste.
• Smooth accumulation maintains web integrity during high-speed roll changes.
• Precise synchronisation helps create straight, consistent rolls.
• Belt support prevents surface damage and protects fibre structure.
• Reliable buffering capability enables longer splicing periods and safe operation.
• Increased uptime through fewer production interruptions.

The control interface is designed for ease of operation and maintenance. Status displays for loops, speeds, and tension make it easy for operators to monitor system health. Product recipes enable fast, repeatable changeovers, making operation intuitive for both new and experienced staff.

Tailored engineering and system compatibility

Each winder with belt accumulator is engineered to fit your line’s specific web width, speed, and space constraints. Frames are constructed to be rigid and easy to clean, supporting strict hygiene requirements in filtration, medical or technical nonwoven production. Belts are chosen for the right grip and durability while minimising dust and fibre emission. Precision servo drives provide stable and responsive control, ensuring the web remains intact even at variable speeds.

The belt accumulator links seamlessly with upstream and downstream equipment. We provide digital and analogue interfaces covering start/stop functions, speed regulation, emergency shutdown, and alarm feedback. Data logging features support process review and troubleshooting, while recipe storage simplifies product changeover. Our solutions are tailored to exceed safety, hygiene, and operational standards in demanding nonwoven environments.

• Compatible with meltblown, spunbond, needlepunched and wetlaid technology lines.
• Edge guiding maintains precise roll alignment.
• Available antistatic features prevent dust or fibre build-up on sensitive webs.
• Comprehensive safety systems protect operators during threading and service.
• Belt access panels allow fast inspection to reduce downtime.
• Process and quality data logging supports traceability and ongoing optimisation.

CAMPEN offers both retrofit solutions for existing winders and full integration with new production lines. Our team provides layout consultations, threading guides, and access planning to ensure reliable operation and full compliance with local standards and safety regulations.

Reliable start-up support and ongoing expertise

Benefit from decades of experience in nonwoven web handling. Our specialists deliver engineering, commissioning, and support services built on technical expertise. We know stability and hygiene are central requirements for nonwoven producers, and our approach reflects these priorities at all stages—from project planning to after-sales support.

Each winder with belt accumulator undergoes comprehensive testing at our facility before shipment, reducing installation time and ensuring all functions perform optimally. During on-site commissioning, our engineers adjust settings and deliver hands-on staff training for daily operations as well as emergency procedures. This practical approach reduces risk and supports smooth start-up, so your team achieves stable, repeatable production from day one.

• Process consultation to optimise tension, buffering, and machine interfaces.
• Factory acceptance testing for performance verification.
• On-site commissioning and operator instruction for efficient start-up.
• Remote diagnostics and technical support for ongoing process improvement.
• Access to spare parts and routine maintenance advice to maximise uptime.
• Modernisation solutions to improve productivity and energy efficiency.

Our commitment is clear: secure your production flow, deliver consistent roll quality, and reduce operational risk. With a reliable winder with belt accumulator, roll changes become predictable, and operators can focus on quality—not on troubleshooting.
