Meech has specialised in industrial electrostatic control for over 50 years. This experience has led to R&D that matches changing customer needs. Meech pioneered the industrial use of pulsed DC technology for static control and now has thousands of systems installed in the plastics, converting, printing and packaging industries. Static electricity is most commonly caused by friction, pressure or separation, with examples ranging from the unwinding of plastic film to everyday shocks from cars and door knobs. Unchecked, static electricity can cause productivity, quality and safety problems throughout industry. Electrostatic attraction or repulsion generates dust contamination and product misbehaviour and an electrostatic discharge can shock operators, start fires and destroy electronic components. Meech provides solutions to control static in virtually every production situation. The product range includes ionising bars, blowers, guns and nozzles, as well as ionising air curtains, power supplies and test & measuring equipment.
