CyClean™ System Overview

Models and Function

The Meech CyClean has been designed in response to increased demand for a compact, high performance, non-contact web cleaning system.

Through the application of advanced computational fluid dynamics, Meech has optimised the cleaning efficiency of CyClean to remove and extract contamination as small as 0.5 micron.

The Meech CyClean provides the following user advantages:

� Excellent contamination removal – removing particles as small as 0.5 micron.

� Non-contact cleaning – suitable for a wide range of substrates.

� Compact design - easier to install in cramped areas.

� Continuous cleaning – no need to stop the web.

� Static control – we will be contamination and static free on exit.

Double Sided CleaningCyClean is available as a double sided web cleaning system; single sided variants are not available.

6

Correct Use of a CyClean SystemMeech CyClean web cleaning systems should only be used in installations for which they are designed.

If the CyClean is used in any other way than instructed in this manual, it will be considered as improper use.

How CyClean WorksThe excellent cleaning performance of CyClean is achieved from the combination of the following processes.

� 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 web are created by the turbulent air.

� The combination of the high frequency micro-movements and turbulent air 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.

Unpacking the System

CAUTION

Observe correct manual handling procedures when removing the system from the packaging. It is likely that the system will exceed the recommended manual handling limit.

The CyClean will be delivered in a heavy duty wooden packing crate.

On receipt of the system, check the packaging for signs of shipping damage. If found, any damage should immediately be reported to the shipping company, the supplier of the system and Meech directly.

Inside the packing crate check the system for signs of damage. If found, any damage should immediately be reported to the supplier of the system and Meech directly.

Before installation of the system, it is recommended that you clean it to remove any potential packing contamination.

7

Suggested Order of Installation

For ease of installation, it is recommended that the system components be installed in the following order:

1. Position and mount the head unit (the web must enter the head unit so that it reaches the aerodynamic flap before the blowing air slot).

2. Position and mount the Air Handling Unit (in free air to avoid overheating and considering the available ducting lengths).

3. Position and mount the control box (note the distance to the head and AHU and check the required cable lengths are available).

4. Make all the electrical connections.

5. Make all compressed air connections (if required).

6. Connect all ducting.

System Installation - Mechanical/Electrical

IMPORTANT

When installing the CyClean system, it should be positioned so that the web passes straight through the system.

IMPORTANT

Installation of the CyClean system should only be completed by those with suitable qualifications.

Positioning of the System The CyClean system should be installed in the position that was recommended by your Meech contact. The exact installation location will vary depending on the machine and application requirements.

In general, the CyClean system should be installed as close to the critical process as possible to minimise the potential of re-contaminating the web via airborne contamination.

Required Space and Mounting HolesPlease view the drawing section at the end of this manual for GA drawings and mounting hole positions.

Connecting the Active Ionisation Equipment The CyClean system is supplied with the following active ionisation equipment:

� Qty 4 x Meech Model A914 Ionising Bars that are installed in the CyClean head unit.

� Qty 1 x Meech Model A905 Ionising Power Supply for systems to suit web widths up to 1,000mm, or, qty 2 for systems to suit web widths of 1,001mm or greater.

Connecting the Active Ionisation Equipment Before making any connections ensure the unit is disconnected from the mains.

The Meech Model A905 ionising power supply has 4 ionising appliance connection ports (2 on each side). Remove the lid of the 905 by unscrewing the three retaining screws, select the required number of ports, one per ionising bar, and remove the necessary grommets from the ports.

Connect the ionising bars by removing the lock washer and nut from the swivel connector of the appliance.

11

Push the connector through a port in the power supply adjacent to the high voltage terminal.

Then refit both the lock washer and nut to the ionising bar. Ensure that the nut is fully tightened.

Connect the cable eyelet of the ionising bar to the high voltage stud of the 905 using the screw provided. Ensure that the nut of the ionising bar connector is fully tightened.

2mtr mains lead and IEC plug are supplied for connection to the 905. Insert the IEC plug into the IEC socket of the 905 ensuring the illuminated ON/OFF rocker switch is in the OFF position.

Connect the free end of the mains cable to the mains supply.

12

IMPORTANT

For safety reasons this equipment must be grounded / earthed either via the mains plug or by direct connection to ground / earth.

Switch on the ionising system via the illuminated ON / OFF rocker switch of the 905.

In normal operation the ON / OFF switch will be illuminated red and the High Voltage indicator will be illuminated green.

Connecting the Remote On/Off Signal From the Line The following applies if your system has pneumatic opening and closing.

Connect a normally open (NO) signal from the line in the CyClean control box as shown in the image below and consult the wiring diagram in this manual.

13

System Installation - Pneumatic

The following applies if your system has pneumatic opening and closing.

IMPORTANT

Installation of the CyClean system should only be completed by those with suitable qualifications.

Compressed Air RequirementThe CyClean system requires a compressed air supply to open and close the head unit.

The compressed air supply should meet the following specification:

� 3-7 bar (43-100psi)

� Clean and dry compressed air

Compressed Air Connections - Control BoxThe main incoming compressed air supply should be connected to the 4mm compressed air push fit fitting on the CyClean control box labelled Air In 1.

The compressed air hoses (blue and black) should be connected from the CyClean unit to the 4mm compressed air push fittings labelled Port 2 and Port 3. The blue hose connects to port 2, the black hose connects to Port 3.

Compressed Air Connections - CylindersThe system is supplied with a pneumatic hose loom for connection of the cylinders and a 5mtr length of pneumatic hose for connection of the loom to the control box.

14

Setting the Required Air PressureThere is a pressure relief regulator valve inside the CyClean control box. Adjusting this valve will change the air pressure that will be fed to the cylinders mounted as part of the CyClean head.

This valve will have been set at Meech before your system was supplied.

CAUTION

If you need to adjust the pressure relief valve, make sure that it is not adjusted to provide maximum pressure. If too high a pressure is used, it may result in damage to your system.

Adjustment of Head Opening and Closing Speed/ForceThe speed/force at which the CyClean head opens and closes can be independently adjusted. This will be adjusted by Meech before your system is supplied so that:

� Open = medium to fast operation

� Close = slow speed

The speed can be adjusted using the valves on each of the cylinders.

IMPORTANT

When making any adjustment it is very important that all 4 cylinders are adjusted at the same time to the same setting. If this does not happen it can damage your system.

CAUTION

It is recommended that the closing speed/force of the head is minimal, as this is a pinch point that could cause injury.

15

Compressed Air CircuitPlease view the drawing section at the end of this manual for a circuit diagram.

System Installation – Vacuum System Systems for up to a web width of 1,400mm are supplied as standard with an Air Handling Unit (AHU).

Systems for a web width of 1,401mm or greater are supplied with an AHU and Secondary AHU.

Consult the AHU manual for full installation and operation instructions.

System Installation – Ducting Meech offers 3 standard ducting kits that are detailed below. Each kit allows the CyClean head to be 5mtrs from the AHU.

There is a drawing of each kit in the drawings section at the end of this manual.

� Manual Opening

� Pneumatic Opening up to 600mm web width

� Pneumatic Opening greater than 601mm web width

When installing ducting, it is important to make sure that the length of ducting for the blowing and vacuum airflows is equal in length and that the same diameters are used.

Ducting should be cut to length to keep duct runs as short as possible.

Any bends in the ducting should be smooth and tight bends should be avoided. Once installed, check to make sure all duct connections are tight and that the duct is not damaged in any way.

16

Operating the System

Before UseBefore using the CyClean system it is important that you have read and fully understand this manual.

IMPORTANT

Testing of the system is recommended before it is used for full production.

System SetupThe airflows of the CyClean non-contact web cleaning system should be adjusted to achieve optimum cleaning results.

The best cleaning results will be achieved, when the system is set to have a positive airflow into the CyClean head, on both the web entry and exit sides (minimising the risk of any recontamination).

The positive airflow into either side of the CyClean head is adjusted by bleeding off a volume of the blowing (positive) airflow to create an airflow bias in favour of vacuum. Consult the AHU manual for full instructions of how to balance the airflows.

The CyClean is now ready to use.

It is recommended that you monitor the system when it is first tested. If any problems are highlighted, please stop using the CyClean system and contact Meech International or your local distributor.

Maintenance and Inspection

IMPORTANT

Always make safe the electrical and compressed air supplies before undertaking any maintenance work on the CyClean system.

IMPORTANT

Maintenance should only be completed on the CyClean system by those with suitable qualifications.

InspectionThe system will perform without serious deterioration, giving many years of service, providing the following visual inspection is made weekly.

Head UnitCheck for any external damage and the alignment of the head unit. Wipe over to remove any contamination present. Inspect that the cables from the ionising bars to the ionising power supplies and that those from the servo drives to the head unit are secure, free from damage and that they do not have any tight bends in them.

Vacuum SystemListen for any sounds that are not ‘normal’ i.e, grinding or scraping.

FiltrationCheck that the filter warning lights on the AHU are not lit when running. Check for any external damage to the filter media, i.e. rips. Check to make sure the filter bag is not blocked.

DuctingVisually inspect the ductwork look for any lose sections or holes. Check to make sure the ducting is not blocked.

18

Maintenance – Ionisation Equipment

IMPORTANT

Always make safe the electrical and compressed air supplies before undertaking any maintenance work on the CyClean system.

IMPORTANT

Maintenance should only be completed on the CyClean system by those with suitable qualifications.

Ionisers require periodic cleaning. During normal operation, dirt will build-up on the emitter pins and upon the body of the ioniser. This will cause a reduction in performance.

Typically, weekly cleaning is sufficient. However, equipment used in some heavy contamination areas, such as gravure printing or where plastic fumes are present, may require daily cleaning. Equally, in a Class 100 area, cleaning may only be required on a monthly basis.

Advanced systems with performance monitoring, e.g 977cm and 904cm, will alert the operator to the need to clean the equipment before performance drops to an unacceptable level.

Before cleaning, ensure that the equipment is switched off.

Emitter pins can be cleaned very effectively with a brush. A dry toothbrush is ideal.

Ionising bars will need periodic wiping to clean grey deposits from the surface of the bar. A cloth moistened with a small amount of IPA or methylated spirits is recommended.

Should you have any additional questions regarding the maintenance of Meech equipment please contact Meech International directly or your local Meech distributor.

Fault Finding – Ionisation EquipmentFault finding guides for the Meech Model A905 ionising power supply and A914 AC ionising bars can be downloaded directly from the Meech website at www.meech.com

For further fault finding guidance please contact Meech International directly or your local Meech distributor.
