Meech launches 906 Hyperion 24V power supply unit for printing and coating applications

Meech International has introduced the 906 Hyperion 24V power supply unit (PSU), a compact, high voltage AC power supply with 24VDC input developed to support static management equipment across a wide range of industrial settings, especially useful for printing and coating.

The 906 PSU replaces the company’s existing 904 and 905 AC power units, delivering new smart features and more reliable performance in challenging factory conditions.

Static electricity presents a regular challenge in printing and coating processes, with static build up on the substrate often responsible for issues like feathering, ink splatter, poor image resolution, and premature printhead failure – all of which increase waste, slow down production, and risk customer complaints. Static can disrupt sheet delivery, attract dust and fibres that contaminate substrates, and destroy sensitive chips, rendering RFID tags unusable.

Many static related defects – including pinholes in block colour, striping, or Pantone mismatches – are difficult to detect until post print inspection, making prevention essential. In coating applications, electrostatic charges can cause delamination or ink pilling, compromising finish quality. Left unmanaged, static can also pose a serious fire hazard, particularly where solvent based inks or fine particulates are present.

Whatever the setting, the equipment needed to manage static or control contamination and sheet delivery needs its own, consistent, high voltage power supply to function reliably. Traditionally power units have an AC supply which can be susceptible to voltage fluctuations, sags, and surges. Utilising a 24VDC supply is a significant step forward in this respect, offering improved stability, reliability, and compatibility with modern control systems. 

Meech’s new PSU operates on a universal 24VDC input, allowing it to be used with standard adapters without needing to specify different models for different regions or equipment. Adjustable output voltage (2 to 7kVAC) means it can adapt to the needs of different materials and applications. It can power up to four pieces of Meech AC ionising equipment simultaneously, offering flexibility for a variety of industrial settings and line configurations.

Smart features – including remote control, health monitoring, and standby mode – help by making maintenance easier, cutting energy use, and keeping equipment running reliably.

For manufacturers upgrading from older Meech power units, mounting holes on the 906 match those of the 904 and 905 units for easy replacement, while its compact footprint makes it easier to install in tight spaces or around other legacy equipment – a common challenge in older production lines.

Together, these features make it easier to introduce or upgrade static management capabilities into existing lines, particularly where adding new technology can be challenging.

‘With the new 906 Hyperion 24V PSU, manufacturers can expect a unit that delivers power more precisely to keep processes running reliably and more efficiently, reducing the day to day complexity of managing static control in demanding environments like printing and coating,’ said Ian Atkinson, sales director at Meech.

‘We have tested the unit extensively in tough conditions and carefully refined it to fit seamlessly into how our customers actually work, no matter where they are in the world.’
