• Inspect the working environment and ensure it is clean and clear of hazards before removing equipment from packaging and positioning the system. • Visually check all equipment for damage. If damaged, contact your local Meech representative before continuing. • Observe warning symbols placed on the equipment, see page 5.
Warning and Information Labels Product Code Manual Opening Danger Mains Voltage sign indicates an immediate hazard. If not avoided, this will result in death or serious injury. This label is located on the top door on the Air Handling Unit. Caution - Hot sign indicates a potential hazard if not avoided, this will result in minor or moderate injury.

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.
3. Remove side panel by removing a further x6 metal clips. This will allow access to remove the Air Handling Unit safely from the packing crate. The Air Handling Unit will have banding straps to secure it to the pallet base which need to be removed and also a protective layer of ‘black wrap’, which needs to be carefully removed also.
CyClean-R is available as both a single-sided and double-sided cleaning configuration. To use the system in a double- sided configuration, it must be positioned over two separate rollers. A CyClean-R system includes the Meech Air Handling Unit (AHU) which incorporates the filtration for the system and provides the vacuum pressure and blowing pressure airflows.
How CyClean-R Works CyClean-R delivers consistent removal of dry, unbonded contamination from the web surface (particle removal to 0.5 micron is achievable). The process is achieved from a combination of steps: 1. The web passes through a cloud of ionisation on web entry of CyClean-R. The cloud of ionisation is created by the 924IPS bars included, which neutralises any static charges.
Installation Procedure CAUTION Meech CyClean-R web cleaning systems should only be used in installations 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. CyClean-R Configurations IMPORTANT Carefully read the installation instruction relevant to the CyClean-R system before installation.

In general, the CyClean-R system should be installed as close to the critical process as possible to minimise the potential of re-contaminating the web via airborne contamination. Meech would recommend between 1-3mm over the web; however, this may differ depending on the application.

General Mounting Instruction INFORMATION The images below are for illustration purposes only and the style of your system may differ. Please refer to the Appendices for technical drawings, showing the mounting positions for each style of CyClean-R Please follow the steps below for instruction on how to mount the CyClean-R manifold: 1.
Page 18
Fixed CyClean-R Mounting Fixed CyClean-R up to 1300mm Web widths up to 1300mm will be similar to the CyClean-R below. Web widths over 1300mm use a carapace and will be mounted differently.
Page 20
Manual CyClean-R This opening method is standard for systems that feed the ducting into the end of the CyClean-R head for a maximum web width of up to 600mm. This option is not available for web widths over 600mm. CAUTION Care needs to be taken when placing this style of head upside down due to the way it hinges and it causing a potential pinch point.

Pneumatic CyClean-R Carapace This opening method is standard for systems suitable for a web width range of 1300mm to 4000mm. This option can be installed so that the system opens up at any angle around a roller. The moving part of the head can be controlled locally or remotely to allow full line integration.
Pneumatic CyClean-R systems are supplied with a pneumatic control box and a 5m length of 6mm blue/black dual core airline to connect the manifold to the pneumatic box. Meech does not supply airline to connect the pneumatic box to the main air supply.

WARNING Compressed air can cause serious injury. It is important the air supply is not on or pressurised before connecting the main air supply. Ensure all air line between the manifold and pneumatic box is connected correctly before turning on air supply . The blue/black airline provided connected to the pneumatic cylinders on the CyClean-R manifold to the pneumatic control box.

Electrical Installation WARNING The 924IPS requires a grounded 24V DC supply. The 0V line must be connected to ground. Failure to do so, will result in damage to the bar or the 24V supply and will void the warranty . Power Supply 24 V DC 924IPS...
Connecting to Power Supply Connecting to Meech Power Supply Meech 24V DC supplies are grounded internally. It is important that the mains connection offers a ground connection. Two-pin outlets without a ground connection must not be used. Connecting to Customer’s Power Supply It is the customer’s responsibility to check that the 24V power supply they will be using is grounded.
Positioning of Air Handling Unit WARNING Keep a minimum distance of at 0.5m is kept around the Air Handling Unit (AHU) to permit proper airflow required for ventilation. Restricting airflow can damage the equipment. When positioning the Air Handling Unit, it is important to ensure the ducts being used reach the CyClean-R manifold.
Meech does not supply ducting with CyClean-R systems. This can be purchased separately. Meech offers a standard ducting kit suitable for the system ordered. The kit comes in various lengths dependant on the CyClean-R web width. The kits offered as standard are specified below.
Page 33
Connecting the Ducting The CyClean-R manifold is designed with three pressure chambers, the two outer chambers are vacuum pressure and the central chamber is positive pressure. It is vital all ducting is connected to the correct chamber from the Air Handling Unit to the CyClean-R manifold. CAUTION Ducting configurations will differ depending on CyClean-R system purchased.
Page 34
All ducting kits supplied by Meech will include hose clamps, to secure the flexible ducting to the equipment. 1. Place the hose clamp over the flexible ducting and then slide the ducting over the spigot on the CyClean-R manifold.
Operating the CyClean-R Before Use Before using the CyClean-R 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 Setup The net airflow into either side of the CyClean-R head is adjusted by bleeding off a volume of the blowing (positive) airflow to create an airflow bias in favour of vacuum.
Page 36
Once the bleed valve has been set, ensure the knurled screw is tightened. CAUTION It is recommended that you monitor the system when it is first installed. If any problems are found, please stop using the CyClean-R system and contact Meech International or your local distributor.
Manual CyClean-R Opening the Manual End-Feed CyClean-R To open the CyClean-R manifold, pull up on the latch until it releases from the latch keep. Once the latch is released, open the CyClean-R. CAUTION Ensure the CyClean-R manifold is always suppoted. Failure to do so can result in serious injury.
Page 38
Opening the Manual TAB-Feed CyClean-R To open the CyClean-R manifold, pull out the latch handle. Once the latch is released, rotate the CyClean-R towards the latch. CAUTION Ensure the CyClean-R manifold is always suppoted. Failure to do so can result in serious injury.
Pneumatic CyClean-R Operating Pneumatic Control Box The pneumatic control box has two push buttons which are used to control the movement of the pneumatic cylinders on the CyClean-R manifold. Each button has a different function: 1. Auto Mode –When Auto Mode is activated, the button will be illuminated blue. The pneumatic control box can be connected to the users PLC, which can be used remotely to activate the pneumatic cylinders on the CyClean-R manifold.
Page 40
Adjusting Air Pressure There is a pressure relief regulator valve inside the CyClean pneumatic control box. Adjusting this valve will retrict the air pressure that will be fed to the cylinders of the opening mechanism. To adjust, see the following steps: 1.
Page 41
If you need to adjust the pressure relief valve, make sure that it is not adjusted to an excessive level. Excessive pressure may result in damage to your system. INFORMATION This valve will have been set at Meech before your system was supplied.
