New cost cutting 3.6kw UV alternative from GEW

GEW (EC) Ltd. has added a new 3.6kW power supply to its range of UV curing systems that is designed to offer narrow web printers an alternative to its larger 9kW version.

The new e-System mini electronic UV system is specifically designed for narrow web presses up to 25cm (10”) print width and features single phase, energy saving 3.6kW power supply that is ultra-compact, lightweight and stackable. Complete with new, patented, fully focused reflector for high intensity curing and VCP lamp head the e-System mini offers narrow web printers high UV efficiency with low running and capital investment costs.

The e-system is designed for use on almost all makes of narrow web presses and optional infra-red cassettes can also be supplied to permit interchange between the UV cassettes when running conventional inks on in-line presses without having to re-web the press. Further options are available for heat sensitive substrates and unsupported films.

The UV lamp heads are based on the all-electronic e-Brick power supply from GEW that converts energy more efficiently with typical figures for a standard system showing as much as 30% energy saving with 20% more total UV energy. The system is fully electric with no reliance on compressed air.
