Meech to address converting industry’s static control and web cleaning needs at ICE Europe 2017

Meech International plans to use ICE Europe (21-23 March, Hall A6 – Stand 233) as a platform for demonstrating the fundamental role that web cleaning and static control systems play in the converting industry. The stand will feature Meech’s popular range of Hyperion ionising bars, as well as its comprehensive array of web cleaning technologies.

“Meech International routinely incorporates customer feedback when designing systems for static control and web cleaning applications. This means our customers in the converting industry can rest assured that our products will answer their specific needs”, explains Area Manager, Ralph Simon. “Whether it’s developing our static bars for specific OEMs or designing web cleaners that incorporate fluid dynamic principles to achieve higher levels of cleanliness, we are constantly improving the overall quality of our products and services”.

Ralph reveals that Meech has its eye on the future and that ICE Europe represents an ideal opportunity to discuss some of the latest trends that are shaping the converting industry. “One of the areas we’re looking into is Industry 4.0, and more specifically interoperability”, he explains. “The ability to have machines, devices and operators that connect and communicate with one another via the web is extremely valuable. We recognise the opportunities this brings and we are currently exploring the ways this technology can be harnessed for static control systems”.
