UV-LED systems
UV-LED systems are established along with UV arc lamps for many applications.
PrintConcept offers fully equipped and completely ready-to-connect LED systems. The LED modules are very compact and can be integrated into most printing machines.
UV-LED - future-oriented technology with many advantages
- Low energy consumption
- High dose rate up to 25 W/cm²
- LED lifespan > 10,000 hours
- No lead time, ON/OFF in seconds
- No direct infrared radiation on substrate and machine, therefore no register problems
- No toxic mercury or ozone → more safety
- No exhaust air cooling for water-cooled systems → less noise and waste heat
- Irradiation length 76 - 3,000 mm
- Wavelengths 365/385/395/405 nm available
- Air or water-cooled
- Water-cooled systems suitable for clean rooms
Price advantages
- Less downtime, lower maintenance and cleaning costs
- No replacement lamps
- Energy savings up to 50 percent
More safety
- No mercury
- No ozone
- No disposal of mercury lamps as special waste
Production advantages
- Suitable for curing ink and varnish as intermediate and end of press
- Smaller units create space in the pressroom
- Elimination of the exhaust air system in water-cooled LED systems
- Suitable for temperature sensitive materials due to low heat input
