Automatic roll winder solutions for nonwovens and technical textiles

Since the 1970s, CAMPEN Machinery A/S has supported manufacturers in automating production with reliable automatic roll winder technology. Our solutions ensure precise control, steady uptime, and safe operations for both nonwovens and technical textile processing. We deliver end-to-end winding systems—covering in-line winding, off-line rewinding, and integrated packaging—to match your production demands. Technical managers trust us for robust machinery, technical expertise, and a solution-oriented partnership that helps maximise throughput and minimise production risks across spunlace, geotextiles, and a broad range of specialty materials.

Decades of engineering experience support winding efficiency

With over 40 years of industry experience, CAMPEN engineers design every automatic roll winder for reliability, accuracy, and durability. Our deep knowledge of nonwovens, geotextiles, felts, and technical textiles means machines are built for consistent results and easy operation. Reliable mechanics and precise servo-driven systems enable accurate web tension, robust roll formation, and steady running—day after day.

Advanced tension management and drive concepts ensure high-quality rolls for delicate spunlace or dense geotextiles. We offer both centre and surface winding, as well as hybrid options for special materials. The result: fewer defects, seamless roll changes, and less waste.

• Machines proven in continuous manufacturing environments to maintain delivery schedules.
• Precise tension and torque control ensures high roll density and consistent diameter.
• Fully automatic roll change boosts output and eliminates unnecessary manual handling.
• Configurable winding widths open new markets for broader material production.

Operator safety and ease of use are built in. Our winders feature accessible frames for cleaning, clear HMI controls, and smart diagnostic tools to reduce downtime and speed up maintenance routines.

Configurable winding solutions for every product and process

Automatic roll winder configurations are adapted for your unique line requirements and product mix. We support in-line winding directly after carding, spunlace or airlaid sections, and can supply off-line rewinders for slitting and reprocessing tasks. Options such as web accumulators, festoons, and advanced web guides ensure high-speed stability and runnability.

Our robust winders are compatible with a wide range of materials, including geotextiles, spunbond, airlaid, felts, fiberglass, artificial leather, plastic film, and more. Machines are engineered to manage varying stretch, web thickness, and friction profiles for each product, guaranteeing steady roll structure from core to outer layers.

• Automatic tube feed boosts uptime, cutting roll change duration.
• Hot-melt gluing delivers secure, tight edges at both start and end of rolls.
• Integrated packaging modules automate wrapping, labelling, and pallet stacking.
• Precision slitting and rewinding options for efficient conversion and flexible output formats.

We ensure seamless integration of your automatic roll winder with upstream production controls and plant safety devices. Features like MES/ERP connectivity and the ability to expand with additional lanes or wider formats future-proof your investment as your business grows.

Advanced controls and safety features for stable operation

The performance of an automatic roll winder relies on precision, reliability, and safe handling. Our servo-controlled drive systems keep web tension, nip force, and winding speed consistent, helping you avoid wrinkles, telescoping, or core deformation. Standardised product recipes simplify changeovers, storing key parameters like roll size and lay-on force for repeatable results.

Winders for nonwoven and geotextile production combine centre or surface-driven winding with adaptive nip and lay-on systems. These engineering solutions prevent common problems such as bagging or uneven edges and protect your material during high-speed rolling and storage.

• Programmable acceleration profiles allow safe, high-speed operation.
• Adaptable for both in-line and off-line positions depending on process needs.
• Automated packaging reduces manual lifting, increasing operator safety and workplace efficiency.
• Energy-saving drive designs help lower total cost of ownership.

All winders are developed to comply with current EU safety directives and industry standards, featuring complete guard systems, integrated interlocks, and documented risk assessments. Remote diagnostics and secure connectivity help ensure maximum uptime. Deliverables always include full operation manuals, training, and ongoing support.

Comprehensive project support from planning to aftersales

CAMPEN Machinery A/S collaborates closely with you from the first consultation. Our engineers analyse your web properties, roll dimensions, core types, and handling logistics to design a winding solution tailored to your needs. Using 3D simulation and detailed line layouts, we deliver systems that fit your space and smoothly integrate with your line. Every automatic roll winder is put through strict factory acceptance tests before shipping. Installation, commissioning, and staff training are carried out according to your production plan for minimal disruption.

Our support continues after start-up. We offer reliable spare parts supply, modernisation packages, and lifecycle maintenance options to secure your investment. When your products or volumes evolve, we stand ready to help reconfigure winding settings, slitters, or packaging modules, keeping your operations competitive and future-ready.

• Designs focused on long-term return and specific business goals.
• Clear documentation and comprehensive operator training ensure safe, efficient use.
• Service, upgrades, and remote support protect productivity and equipment uptime.
