Unpacking the CyClean-R
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-R will be delivered in a heavy-duty wooden packing crate(s).
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 installaon of the system, it is recommended that you clean it to remove any potenal packing
contaminaon.
Please follow the steps below to unpack your system:
Removing Air Handling Unit
1. Remove the lid of the crate. The metal clips ed need to be removed in order to do this.
CAUTION
The metal clips are under tension. These are removed by levering from the tabs located on each end of the clip. It
is important to steady the other side of the clip to ensure it does not spring o.
2. Remove front panel of the crate by removing x9 metal clips (This will be marked “Open This Side”). This will allow
access to the inside of the crate.

CyClean-R System Overview
Funcon
CyClean-R is an extension to our extremely popular CyClean range. The CyClean-R is a web cleaning system that can
be used on web that sits around a roller. This makes it ideal for use in many applicaons.
CyClean-R is a non-contact web cleaning system, designed for webs running low tension and can be used with wide
variety of web materials.
CyClean-R is available as both a single-sided and double-sided cleaning conguraon. To use the system in a double-
sided conguraon, it must be posioned over two separate rollers.
A CyClean-R system includes the Meech Air Handling Unit (AHU) which incorporates the ltraon for the system and
provides the vacuum pressure and blowing pressure airows.
CyClean-R delivers consistent removal of dry, unbonded contaminaon from the web surface (parcle removal to
0.5 micron is achievable), with assistance from the included 924IPS Bars.

10
How CyClean-R Works
CyClean-R delivers consistent removal of dry, unbonded contaminaon from the web surface (parcle removal to
0.5 micron is achievable). The process is achieved from a combinaon of steps:
1. The web passes through a cloud of ionisaon on web entry of CyClean-R. The cloud of ionisaon is created by
the 924IPS bars included, which neutralises any stac charges.
2. The web is subject to a force of turbulent air created by the blowing and vacuum slots on the CyClean-R
manifold, which breaks the boundary layer on the web, loosening contaminaon on the surface.
3. A negave airow then draws all the contaminaon away from the web, which is then ltered through the Air
Handling Unit. This results in a clean, contaminaon-free web surface.
4. As the web exits the CyClean-R manifold, it passes through a second cloud of ionisaon, provided by the 924IPS
bar on web exit, to prevent re-contaminaon of the web.

11
Installaon Procedure
CAUTION
Meech CyClean-R web cleaning systems should only be used in installaons for which they are designed. If the
CyClean-R is used in any other way than instructed in this manual, it will be considered improper use.

*For web widths up to 600mm, a ducng kit up to 3m can be supplied. It is not recommended this length is
exceeded when using Ø40mm ducng due to airow restricons.
For lengths up to 600mm, CyClean-R can be either manual or pneumac to facilitate fast and accurate webbing-up.
On web-widths over 1300mm, CyClean-R is supplied with a carapace. The carapace provides the necessary rigidity
for wide web applicaons, while also oering an ergonomic design.
Systems greater than 4001mm are installed rigidly on the machine. On these systems, a custom design will be used
on the mechanism to web-up.

Suggested Order of Installaon
For ease of installaon, it is recommended that the system components be installed in the following order:
1. Posion and mount the head unit (the manifold should be posioned between 1-3mm above the web).
2. Posion and mount the Air Handling Unit (in free air to avoid overheang and considering the available ducng
lengths).
3. Make all the electrical connecons.
4. Make all compressed air connecons (if required).
5. Connect all ducng and secure using clips.
Mounng the CyClean-R
Posioning of the System
The CyClean-R head unit is installed over the apex of a guide roller and can be posioned at any angle without
jeopardising cleaning performance .
In general, the CyClean-R system should be installed as close to the crical process as possible to minimise the
potenal of re-contaminang the web via airborne contaminaon. Meech would recommend between 1-3mm over
the web; however, this may dier depending on the applicaon.
Where a double-sided conguraon is required the CyClean-R heads will be installed at dierent stages of the web.
Web Direcon and Tension
Due to the way the CyClean-R has been designed; web tension is not relevant due to the posioning over the roller.
The CyClean-R should only be mounted in the orientaon it was designed. See gure 5 below showing the pip on
the CyClean-R extrusion.
