Ultraviolet curing is a photochemical process in which high-intensity ultraviolet light is used to instantly cure or “dry” inks, coatings or adhesives. Offering many advantages over traditional drying methods, UV curing has been shown to increase production speed, reduce reject rates, improve scratch and solvent resistance, and facilitate superior bonding.

- Simple controls & small format
- Laboratory and R&D applications
- Testing of adhesives, inks, coatings
- Can be used in automated systems
- Substrates up to 7.5 in wide
- Effective curing width up to 6 in
- Internal exhaust blower assists with cooling
- Teflon® coated open-weave Kevlar® belt is for smooth performance, and treated to eliminate static charges
- Unique seam design provides uninterrupted belt surface
- Choice of 4 models and speed ranges from 2.0 to 250 feet/min (0.6 to 76 m/min).
