Web clean-up
March 1st 2008 Following extensive trials, an
Australian producer of recycled
paper and associated products
has invested in a Series 1000 Web
Cleaning System from Meech
International. It will be installed
on a printing press.
Recycled paper has a much
shorter fibre length than normal
paper, so fibres 'break out' more
easily as the paper passes over
the press rollers. This results in
contamination of the web surface
and poor print quality.
The system worked well during
trials and has both improved the
print quality on the press and
increased productivity by reducing
downtime needed for cleaning."
Combining static eliminators,
brushes and high power vacuum
dust collection, the Series 1000
System ensures that dust
contamination is eliminated and
that the risk of further dust
attraction is minimised. More articles from Meech International Ltd: |
