How Does Contamination Get Inside Closures?
During the manufacturing, transportation and storage of plastic caps and closures, plastic particles, dust, paint fragments and other contaminants can accumulate inside the closure. Static electricity can cause these particles to adhere to the surface of the closure and remain there until the filling process.
If contamination is not removed, particles may enter the final product during the capping process, creating quality, food safety and reputational risks.
Meech Cap Closure Cleaning Solution
The Meech Cap Closure Cleaning System is specifically designed to clean plastic caps, closures and sealing components. It effectively removes plastic swarf, dust and other contaminants from inside closures before the packaging or bottling stage.
The system combines ionised air and vacuum extraction technology:
- Ionised air neutralises static charges;
- Airflow removes particles from inside the closure;
- A vacuum system captures contaminants and prevents them from re-entering the production environment;
- No compressed air is required, reducing operating costs.
