Ashe have worked with web cleaning specialists to produce machines with this equipment fully integrated into the range of machines ashe already produces for the web converting industry, the Ashe machines are already well suited to this type of work and many installations over the years have proven this. Already standard on all of its machines are the totally electric operation of all functions, this eliminates the unsuitable use of hydraulics that can easily contaminate products.

The Kelva web cleaning units have been installed on many of the Ashe machines and have demonstrated their effectiveness, and reliability using a high speed air, non contact system requiring no consumables, the compact units are ideal in being able to be installed very close to the slit area and keeping roller distances to a minimum, a positive advantage when slit accuracy and speed is a requirement. Hepa filters and recirculation air system reduce further contamination and energy loss form inside clean room environments.
