Scapa eliminates static issues on its rewind equipment with Meech’s Hyperion 971IPS bars
Scapa, a leading global manufacturer of bonding products and adhesive components, has become the latest company to invest in Meech’s anti-static solutions, with the installation of five Hyperion 971IPS 15KV Pulsed DC ionising bars taking place in its production environment.
From highly specialised technical adhesive solutions to standard PVC and cloth tapes, Scapa’s comprehensive array of products are used for applications in the Healthcare and Industrial markets. Headquartered in the Greater Manchester, the company has a global footprint, with 20 manufacturing and operations facilities across Europe, Asia, and both North and South America.
“At Scapa, we base our approach on a deep understanding of our core markets”, elaborates Tony Fenwick, Engineering Manager at Scapa. “We’ve developed this knowledge by working closely with leading global partners in target sectors, developing specialised adhesive tape bonding solutions for OEM’s, distributors and consumers alike. This approach allows us to anticipate tomorrow’s customer needs”.
Working in an environment where rewind rolls are featured on most of the equipment, Tony has always been aware of the potential build-up of static charges on these rolls and the challenges they could pose.
