Effective Cleaning Static Neutralisation To achieve effective cleaning, a system must be able to A static charge will most likely be present on the web perform three critical tasks: surface. Static charges are typically generated by either separation or friction. For example, a static charge will be 1. Break the boundary layer generated as the web is unwound (separation), or as the 2. Neutralise static charges web travels over non conductive nip rollers (friction). 3. Remove and trap contamination away from the web Until neutralised, a static charge will trap and hold If the web cleaning...

How CyClean Works The web passes through a cloud of ionisation on entry to the CyClean head, which neutralises any static charges. The web is then subject to a force of turbulent air created by the blowing and vacuum airflows within the head unit. High frequency micro-movements of the The combination of the high frequency shatters the web boundary air layer, releasing the contamination into the vacuum airflows. As the web exits the CyClean head, it passes through a second cloud of ionisation to prevent re-contamination of the web. Design Features The CyClean is constructed from anodised...
