Static Control Solutions
Meech manufacture and supply a wide range of electrostatic products that provide anti-static and ESD protection and measurement, static generation, electrostatic control and elimination.
The Hyperion range
The Hyperion range of ionising bars and power supplies are the latest, revolutionary, industrial static control products offered by Meech. Developed by Meech engineers in conjunction with distributors and end users, the Hyperion range offers new levels of technical superiority for industrial static control.
The range has been engineered to include a number of key characteristics such as Ion Current Monitoring (ICM) technology, clean pin alert and adjustable output voltage, frequency and balance.
Static control is used in multiple applications. See here for more information
Air-based Solutions
Meech manufacture two product ranges both designed to work with a company’s existing compressed air supply – the Air Efficiency Range and the Vortex Cooling Range. Both ranges run solely on compressed air and are used in a wide range of applications within many different industries. They are designed to be easy to install, offer fast ROI and noise reductions when compared to traditional compressed air solutions. These solutions are used in various applications; from drying to cooling to air amplification.
For further information on where the Air Technology is used, please see here
Reduce your use of expensive compressed air by up to 40% using the Meech Air Efficiency products

Common Static Challenges By Industry
The most common static challenges are contamination build-up (for example dust or micro particles in packaging or wrapping) and material misbehaviour (for example misaligned webs or finished products sticking to each other). These challenges lead to reduced productivity (stopping or slowing of production lines), quality challenges (on-site or customer rejections) and ultimately profitability.
Medical/Pharma
In an industry where quality, quantity and safety is paramount, any production jams, inaccurate weighing, contamination, poor blister pack sealing and even repulsion of the tablets or capsules (leading to empty punnets) are challenges that may arise due to static.
Static charges can cause dust and other airborne contaminants to be attracted to the surface of a moving web, which could lead to costly rejections if untreated.
Managing the static along the production line helps mitigate these challenges.

Packaging
Packaging is a vast, growing industry. Whether it is in-mold labelling (IML), blister packs, bottle labelling or any other form of packaging material, static can create many challenges.
Primary problems resulting from static are process control and quality issues, attraction of dust and other contaminants, and even operator shocks.

Printing and Coating
Meech have solutions for many of the printing and coating challenges. These can be sheet misbehaviour, inkjet printing challenges like repelled ink or poor print quality, or
contamination post corona treatment.
Visit Meech here to see more about our printing and coating solutions, showing how we address specific problems such as print quality, uneven delivery stacks and sheet feeder issues.
Converting
Contamination build-up and material misbehaviour are common challenges in converting environments. Whether slitting, unwinding, laminating, calendaring, or rewinding, the web can generate static and attract contamination and/or misbehave – resulting in down time and quality challenges.
With an unrivalled range of static control, static generation, sensors and data logging, non-contact and contact type web cleaning, air-efficiency and air-cooling systems, Meech delivers a suite of cost-saving solutions into the converting industry which enhances productivity, maximises yields and supports customers with the latest industry offerings to get the work done.

Food and Drink
Where quality and safety are non-negotiable, any static build-up can be a major problem. It can attract dust and other contaminants to product and packaging. This can lead to increased rejection rates or even consumer dissatisfaction. Introducing static control significantly decreases the chance of contaminants being embedded into your process and increase safety, quality and yield.
