With over 3,000 visitors from 56 countries, the ICE international converting show in Munich (Germany) was a success, claimed Meech Static Eliminators.

Steve Pheasant, Meech's sales and marketing director, said: "We were exhibiting our range of static and web cleaning systems for this key market.

The management of static electricity is important throughout the converting industry, as effective control results in improved quality, increased productivity and ultimately more profit for companies.

We received particular interest in the Meech 915 and 976 static control systems as well as the Series 1000 web cleaning system." The ion production of the Model 915 is claimed to results in very fast static charge decay, making the system effective at all web speeds, whilst the Model 976 is claimed to provide long range ionisation up to distances of 600mm.

The Series 1000 web cleaning system is said to be suitable for converting companies which are experiencing poor productivity and quality as a result of contaminated webs.

Pheasant added: "We were also delighted with the level of interest in our 986 Feedback system from visitors to our stand and also the organisers, who selected the 986 as a finalist in the ICE innovation awards.

The 986 has an ability to automatically optimise static charge removal by sensing the residual charge on the target material and reacting to it.

That is unlike other systems that merely provide a reporting function.".
