Meech Extends its Hyperion Range

Meech International has launched a new distance sensor and feedback system, enhancing its Hyperion range of static control systems. The distance sensor is meant to be used with Meech’s 971IPS static elimination bar (above).The sensor enables a change in frequency when the proximity to the static surface increases or decreases, adjusting the neutralization based on the distance to the static surface. Featuring a three-pin M8 connector and upgraded software, Meech’s new “feedback-enabled” bars provide static control in production environments and the capability of outputting the voltage level for remote monitoring. Using a remote voltage sensor, the Hyperion bar is informed if more positive or negative ions are needed to create neutralization of all charges on the material.

Doyle Systems Provides Contact and Contact Free Web Cleaning

Doyle Systems provides web cleaners using both contact and contact free technologies. The contact cleaning products provide multi-modal technology for corrugated, folding carton, and paper substrates, which tend to have a higher concentration of dust, fiber, and debris. Contact-free cleaning is best for scratch-sensitive substrates such as PET, PE, PLA, PHA, foils and non-wovens. Both contact and contact-free technologies use static neutralization, high velocity air, and heavy duty even vacuuming across the substrate. -www.doylesystems.com
