Skanem installs web cleaning systems from Teknek

Skanem, one of Europe’s largest suppliers of self-adhesive labels with 12 factories in eight countries, is installing web cleaning equipment from Teknek across its facilities. To date there have been over 15 installations of Teknek’s NWP Contact Cleaner at Skanem’s UK sites in Newcastle, Durham, Cardiff, Liverpool, as well as in Skurup, Sweden.  

Teknek’s yield improvement system uses a special elastomer roller that removes dry unattached particles from the web immediately before the critical process. The contamination is trapped in a reverse wound adhesive roll, which when full is removed from the print area. 

Steve Dunne, managing director of Skanem UK, said: ‘We use the Teknek contact cleaners extensively across the UK sites as they are proven and efficient.’ 

Teknek recently won an award from the EFTA for its contribution to reducing waste in the label industry.
