Producer of membrane keypads for the printed graphics industry has invested in static control technologies to reduce dust attraction and electrostatic discharge within its factory.
Fascia Graphics, a producer of membrane keypads for the printed graphics industry, has invested in static control technologies from Meech.
This investment will reduce dust attraction and electrostatic discharge within Fascia's factory, and follows the development of a £100,000 printing line in 2005.
The company has invested in a wide range of Meech static control products based on AC and pulsed DC technologies, including the shockless 915 bar, the long range shockless 976 bar and the 935 fan driven air system.
Paul Bennett, Managing Director of Fascia Graphics, said: "Fascia Graphics has always prided itself on its product quality, with membrane keypads, overlays, labels and associated products all meeting the highest quality standards".
"We not only invest in the latest technologies to improve standards, we also carry out internal and external audits on a monthly basis and use the latest production control software to monitor the performance of our delivery".
This technology will reduce the likelihood of the following common effects of uncontrolled static charge: product misbehaviour - creating blockages and poor productivity in even the modern machine design; dust attraction - charged dust particles can reduce product quality and increase reject rates; ink spidering - leading to poor print quality; and operator and personnel shocks.
