TechNova chooses Meech
February 28th 2008

TechNova manufactures offset plates as part of an ongoing partnership with Agfa-Gevaert N.V. With the purchase and installation of two web cleaning manifolds from Meech International, TechNova has now further improved quality and reduced rejection rates on its production line.

Lamination is an important part of the manufacturing process as the aluminium litho plates need to be coated with a protective film to ensure they can stand up to the toughest printing environments. However, it is of vital importance that the film is kept clean, as any contamination would lead to poor and unacceptable quality.

The manifolds are part of Meech’s Series 1000 Web Cleaning System, designed to solve the problem of dirty webs causing high rejection rates in laminating processes and poor quality end product. Combining Meech’s expertise in static control and dust control systems, this versatile and modular system can be installed in a variety of web cleaning applications.

The manifolds carry out three actions. Firstly the static elimination bars break the electrostatic charges between the dust and the web, secondly, the brushes are designed to remove even the smallest of particles and finally the specially developed vacuum control plate gives complete coverage of the material surface, removing contaminants to a very high degree of efficiency.
