Using 261v2 Nozzle to Clean Plastic Containers Before Batch Code Printing 

Problem: Dusty or statically charged products can cause issues where date-or batch-coding, using ink-jet printers. If the print surface is dusty, the dust will prevent the ink from adhering to the product.

Typical issues could include:

• Unreadable print due to misting,
• Repeated print head blockage,
• ESD damage to the print head circuit board.

Solution: By using a 261v2 Ionising Nozzle static charges are removed from the surface. Releasing the contamination which is then removed by the air that is blown from the nozzle. Spot cleaning of dusty or statically charged surfaces. This ensures reliable ink adhesion and protects print heads. Resulting in a higher-quality end product and reducing the need for machine maintenance. Waste is reduced, therefore savings are created.

Using CyClean Manifold to Clean Trays in Food Packaging

Problem: In ready-to-eat food production, shallow trays used to transfer products easily collect dry particulate contamination from ingredients and packaging. Particles become trapped along raised rims and corners, while manual or wet cleaning methods slow production and increase the risk of cross-contamination.

Solution: CyClean is a dry, close-range tray cleaning system designed for continuous food production lines. CyClean uses integrated ionisation to eliminate static charges, it then uses positive and negative airflows to disturb and remove the contaminants into the Air Handling Unit. By ionising, blowing, extracting, and re-ionising, CyClean removes and captures unbonded dry contamination from open and closed trays without water or chemicals—allowing trays to be reused immediately in high-hygiene environments.

Using a Bespoke CyClean-R to Clean Caps in the Beverage Packaging

Problem: In beverage production, plastic caps and closures can retain fine particles and debris generated during moulding and assembly. Contamination trapped inside closures poses a direct risk to product quality and brand reputation, especially on high-speed bottling lines. Furthermore, these micro-plastics may enter the bottles and be consumed, posing a health risk to consumers.

Solution: Circular DC Bars are connected to a PulseDrive Plus PDC Controller. The CyClean-R is positioned-off centre therefore cleaning runs diagonally across the cap as it travels along the manifold. The CyClean-R is paired with a Mini AHU – the positive pressure can be adjusted depending on orientation and depth of the caps.

Using IonRinse to Clean Containers

Problem: In beverage packaging, cleaning preforms, containers, and cans-reducing traditional water-based systems is energy-intensive, costly, and difficult to control.

Solution: The Meech IonRinse system provides a dry, water-free alternative for container cleaning. Using fan-driven, ionised airflow, IonRinse effectively removes loose contamination from preforms, containers, and cans-reducing energy consumption, simplifying operation, and helping beverage producers improve environmental performance.

Using IonWash to Clean Car Headlights 

Problem: In automotive manufacturing, high-spec 3D components such as interior trim, housings, and structural parts easily attract dust and fine particles. Contamination on complex surfaces leads to defects, rework, production delays, and refection rates increasing overall manufacturing costs.

Solution: The Meech IonWash is a fully integrated system that incorporates powerful 12kVDC ionisation. High-volume blown, ionised airflow is delivered through multiple (up to 36) manoeuvrable nozzles, which are directed at the target component to neutralise static charge and remove contamination from the 3D component. The IonWash incorporates a fully enclosed cleaning chamber with high-volume, blown ionised airflow and negative vacuum airflow, which undergoes advanced filtration.

Using JetStream to Clean Car Bumpers Prior to Painting

Problem: After arriving from injection moulding, bumpers are covered in particles and other manufacturing deposits left over from the process. To compound the problem, the static charge that is inherent in plastic products causes more dirt to be attracted to the surface. Bumpers need to be thoroughly cleaned and neutralised before undergoing painting.

Solution: The Meech JetStream ionising air knife system is installed at the start of the bumper paint procedure to clean and neutralise the bumpers before they undergo the primer application stage. The air knives move over the total component shape at approximately 100 – 150mm distance from the surface to provide the best possible static neutralisation and contamination removal. The unique design of the JetStream system ensures that dirt does not re-circulate and re-contaminate painted bumpers.
