Already a leader in the narrow web sector, GEW is now diversifying into markets that include coating and silicone release with a UV system claimed to bring unprecedented savings to users.
The IsoCure is a versatile, fully water cooled UV curing system designed for medium and wide format printing and coating applications in arc lengths from 50 cm up to 2 m. It can be fitted to existing machines or OEM specified on CI, in-line and sheet-fed presses, as well as laminators and bridge units over conveyers. A compact, reduced cross-section footprint facilitates installation, says GEW.
Managing director, Malcolm Rae attests: “Typically, UV systems require large exhaust fans, ducting and manifolds to remove the ozone and heat generated by the UV lamps when curing. IsoCure seals the lamp in its own temperature controlled micro-climate in isolation from the plant or print room, eliminating the expenditure of ambient air for cooling and ozone extraction.
“Instead of being ducted to the outside of the building, ozone is safely destroyed within the lamphead. This gives unprecedented savings in UV system operating costs because expensive heated or air-conditioned factory air is no longer consumed.”
Cost savings for each lamp due to the reduced demand on the heating and air conditioning load are said to be around £100/kW/year.
