Effective web cleaning reduces the amount of dust, fibres and loose particles entering critical downstream processes. Depending on the application, this can contribute to:
- fewer contamination-related defects and rejects
- more stable product quality and printing performance
- longer intervals between wash-ups and manual cleaning stops
- reduced maintenance requirements
- improved production uptime and throughput
- less material waste and unnecessary resource use
In printing, this can help prevent defects such as hickeys and bull’s-eyes. In coating and laminating processes, effective cleaning reduces the risk of particles becoming trapped in or beneath the applied layer.
The actual benefits depend on the substrate, the position of the cleaner and the contamination problem it is intended to solve.
