Since the 1970s, CAMPEN Machinery A/S has supported producers with reliable solutions for winding elastic materials. Our easy-to-operate systems reflect our extensive web handling expertise and solution-oriented approach. We listen closely to your production requirements, test using actual samples, and adapt each winding process for your specific line. This ensures stable web transport, clean edge profiles, and consistently high roll quality. All equipment is designed for maximum uptime, operator safety, and low total cost of ownership. When you partner with CAMPEN, you receive robust machinery for winding elastic materials and dedicated lifecycle support.

Precision solutions for elastic material winding and tension control

Handling and winding elastic materials, including rubber webs, specialty films, and coated nonwovens, requires careful tension management. These webs demand low and stable tension during both unwinding and rewinding. Our machinery employs closed-loop web tension control, delivering precise force at all roll diameters. Load cells detect real-time web force, while responsive motor control ensures the elastic web remains flat and tracked. This technology prevents stretch, neck-in, and product inconsistency.

Our solutions are adapted for your site’s layout and process demands. We offer flexible configurations: controlled unwinding, turret rewinders for fast roll changes, precision shear and crush slitting, accurate web and edge guiding, and adjustable nip designs. For tacky or sensitive materials, we choose the right roller coatings and design the web path to protect product quality.

• Load cell feedback and motor response prevent unwanted stretch or deformation of sensitive elastic webs.
• Torque-regulated rewinding and unwind brakes maintain constant tension, adapting as roll diameters change for steady edge and roll quality.
• Edge and line guiding technologies improve material tracking and reduce trim waste, essential for winding elastic materials.
• Low-inertia rollers and optimised web angles minimise friction and heat build-up, preserving delicate materials.
• Dedicated shear and crush slitters ensure clean edges at low tension, lowering dust, debris, and fibre stringing.
• Recipe-driven control settings streamline product changeovers and consistent quality profiles.
• Customised roller coatings and special path layouts prevent marking or sticking when managing tacky, coated or soft elastic webs.

All-round focus on quality, safety, and reliability

Our winding elastic materials machinery is built on decades of experience within web handling for high-demand sectors, including nonwoven, filtration, hygiene, and technical rubber applications across Europe and beyond. Mechanical quality and operator safety are prioritised throughout the process. Each line features robust frames, dynamic balancing for all rollers, and secure nip guards, enhancing both stable web transport and safe operation. Easy-to-use interfaces provide clear controls, instant diagnostics, and prompt alarms to prevent downtime, quality issues, or unsafe events.

• Heavy-duty frames reduce vibration, supporting stable winding and improved roll geometry.
• CE-compliant safety systems are fitted to protect staff and ensure operational uptime.
• Precision roller alignment and durable bearings extend machine life and enhance web handling accuracy.
• Integrated process monitoring delivers live feedback on tension, line speed, and roll dimensions.
• Comprehensive factory acceptance and structured onsite commissioning guarantee a successful start-up process.
• Remote technical support and available spare parts make routine maintenance efficient and keep winding elastic materials machinery operating reliably.

Custom-engineered projects and lifecycle technical support

Every solution for winding elastic materials is unique. We begin each project by defining your required tension range, web width, and production speeds. Our engineers design unwinding, web handling, slitting, and rewinding modules to fit your roll formats, production targets, and floor space. Seamless integration with existing or new process equipment is standard practice. Systems are engineered for straightforward operation, easy cleaning, and secure access for maintenance.

• Designed around your roll size, core formats, and material characteristics—elasticity, tackiness, or sensitivity.
• Motor drives and control systems connect seamlessly with your process line PLCs, enabling synchronised line speeds and tension zones.
• User-friendly setup and recipe storage speed up repeatable product changeovers.
• Slitting heads and systems are selected based on your edge quality specifications and dust requirements.
• Maintenance kits and regular servicing help maximise uptime and extend system lifetime.
• Sensor, drive, or HMI upgrades ensure your winding elastic materials solution remains efficient, accurate, and robust.
