Meech International will use ICE Europe 2019 as a platform to demonstrate how its web cleaning and static control equipment can help converters produce immaculate webs for packaging and labelling.

On display in Munich will be Meech’s recently released automation device, the Hyperion SmartControl, alongside a range of Hyperion ionising bars – including the 971IPS, 929IPS and 924IPS – and its entire series of contact and non-contact web cleaners.

‘ICE brings together the converting industry’s leading manufacturers to demonstrate just how vital their machinery and ancillary products are to the packaging and labelling sectors,’ explained area manager Ralph Simon. ‘We have always seen ICE Europe as a key event in our calendar and, this year, we’re delighted to be presenting our leading products in web cleaning and static control, as well as our latest Industry 4.0 solution – the Hyperion SmartControl.’

Mr Simon believes that automation will play a vital role in the packaging and labelling sectors in the near future. ‘As ICE Europe 2019 will demonstrate, the packaging industry is developing at an ever-faster rate. More advanced technology is appearing each year, especially in the form of robotics and Industry 4.0 related solutions, which are helping improve business productivity while reducing wastage and ongoing costs.’

Also on display will be Meech’s complete range of web cleaning systems, including the TakClean and CyClean. With specially formulated TransTak elastomer contact cleaning rollers, the TakClean, suitable for narrow web applications, physically picks up and removes dry, unbonded contamination from the web’s surface, whereas the CyClean, Meech’s leading non-contact system, is a compact device capable of handling virtually any substrate. Its optimised cleaning efficiency allows the removal of contamination to below 1 micron.

Mr Simon concluded, ‘Meech is excited to be highlighting the features and benefits of its products to stand visitors. Our staff will be on hand to answer any questions about the technology on display, and they look forward to engaging with visitors on the latest trends and innovations in the converting industry.’
