Meech International has strengthened its position as a major supplier of web cleaning technologies with the launch of ShearClean™, a non-contact system that is suitable for sectors ranging from narrow web label printing (litho, gravure, flexo) and converting to food packaging and pharmaceutical applications.  ShearClean is also highly effective when used in applications involving coating.

Pontypridd contract packer Complete Core Business Solutions has increased the productivity of one of its vertical form fill seal machines nearly 15 percent following the installation of two Meech 915 ionising bars above the sealing plates. The Welsh company did not realise that static was slowing down throughput, as owner Stephen Nicholls explains.

At ICE Europe in November, Meech International will demonstrate two brand-new, exciting and ground-breaking products for the converting industry. The ShearClean™, a revolutionary new non-contact web cleaning system, and the 977CM, an innovative technology in the field of electrostatic control, will offer Meech’s customers the opportunity to significantly increase their process productivity, flexibility and subsequently, profitability. Both products are set to provoke further excitement as they compete for top prizes at the renowned ‘ICE Europe Innovation Awards’, the results of which will be revealed on the second day of the exhibition.

Meech International, a world leader in the supply of electrostatic control systems for industrial processes, marked its recent success in winning The Queen’s Award for Enterprise: International Trade 2009 with a celebration at its Witney, Oxfordshire headquarters on July 15.

Meech International will firmly position itself at Labelexpo as a major supplier of web cleaning technologies, with the official worldwide launch of ShearClean™. This non-contact system is the latest addition to the Witney, UK manufacturer’s line-up of web cleaning systems and is suitable for sectors ranging from narrow web label printing (litho, gravure, flexo) and converting to food packaging and pharmaceutical applications.

The clarity and quality of glass in some of the world’s most famous modern buildings is being assured thanks to static elimination technology from Meech International. Viracon, which offers the world’s most complete range of high-performance architectural glass products, has installed intelligent technology from Meech’s 900-Series static elimination range on production lines at its site in Statesboro, Georgia, USA, to effectively combat the high levels of static commonly encountered during glass production.
