Meech's Series 1000 removes chads from bags

Meech's Series 1000 web cleaner removes waste particles (chads) after die-cutting.

When making plastic bags, the film is printed and is then die-cut to add ventilation holes or to punch a Euroslot.

After die-cutting, the film is rewound and sent to customers.

Most die-cutting machines come with a vacuum system to remove these waste particles, but this doesn't overcome the static problem.

Plastics generally maintain static charges for long periods, which make chads cling to the material.

Static can also trap chads in film layers being rewound.

This can result in the end-user rejecting the batch.

The Meech Series 100 web cleaner combines static eliminators, brushes and a high power vacuum dust collection system with a vacuum control plate that covers the material's surface.

Flexible ducting then carries the contaminants to the collection system, where they are collected in a filter bag.

The static elimination bars use powerful ionisation to break the bond between the chad and the film, while the non-contact brushes destroy the boundary layer, allowing the removal of tiny particles.

It is a non-contact system, so doesn't scratch the end-product.

It is easy to install on existing machines.
