Meech launches CyClean non-contact web cleaner

Meech International used Labelexpo Americas 2012 as a launching pad for the latest addition to its range of web-cleaning products.

The fourth in a comprehensive series of products, the CyClean is a compact, non-contact system with a clam shell design that suited to coating, labeling and laminating applications.

‘After extensive research into the market and recognizing customers’ demands, we decided to design a web cleaner for our range that was based on a brand new technology,’ said business unit director for cleaning systems, Adam Battrick. ‘To my knowledge, no other web-cleaning company uses four different technologies for their systems, making us unique in this respect.

‘We worked closely with a third party specialist to ascertain that the air flow performance was at optimum levels in the product’s design. We are confident that the CyClean will offer end users the best cleaning experience for a web cleaner of its type.’

A double-sided blow and vacuum-based web cleaning system which flows contaminants into an inline filter unit, the CyClean is Meech’s first non-contact system designed especially for the narrow web industry and is suitable for both single and double-sided cleaning.

The new web-cleaner is composed of a cleaning manifold, 4x active static control AC bars and an Air Handling Unit (AHU). The AHU, which improves air flow efficiency and allows easy removal and collection of contaminants, also features an F8 grade washable ‘labyrinth’ filter, which reduces the chances of premature blockage in the airflow system.

With specially designed slotted air chambers that direct a constant stream of air on both sides to maximize cleaning efficiency, the CyClean can remove 0.5 micron and with a small footprint that enables fitting into confined spaces, the need to extend the web path is eliminated.

The presence of ionizing bars on entry and exit sides provides integrated static control and guarantees a thorough, long-lasting cleaning process. The bars neutralize all static charges on the web and ensure easy breakdown of the bonds holding contaminants to the web, while the risk of re-attracting contaminants to the cleaned web surfaces is also significantly reduced.
