Problem:

There are 3 areas of concern with this type of packaging machine:

• Dust Attraction during unwinding web
• Electrostatic attraction of web to cutting knife and vacuum transfer belt
• Electrostatic attraction of sheet to itself during overwrapping

Solution:

• A Meech 935 ionising blower is used to control charges on both unwinding rolls
• A Meech 915 bar neautralises the charges on the web prior to entry to the sheeting knife area
• A Meech 971 bar is used to prevent electrostatic charges from causing sheets to be pulled out from under the containers being wrapped
