Eliminates Fires and Substrate Distortion

Eliminates Fire On Press

  • Decrease press downtime
  • Decrease subsrate, ink and labor waste
  • Increase productivity/yieldBeginner- 2h 24m

Eliminates Substrate Distortion from UV Heat

  • Faster and consistent registration
  • Eliminate post print curling, mottling, or blocking due to heat
  • improves die cutting varability due to heat.

Reduction in Maintenance Time and Cost

  • No moving parts, refletor or shutters
  • Bulb replacement at least 15X less often
  • Less frequent maintenance
  • less time per maitenance

Saves Energy and Space

Energy cost and carbon emission reduction

Others

  • Eliminate need for roof penetration and maintenance of exhasut systems
  • Eliminate air movment and dust from exhaust systems
  • reduced sq. foortage requirement for curing and exhaust
  • significant reduction in nloise in working environment
SST UV LED Screen Printing

Lowest Energy Consumption, Converts in 1/2 day

The SST LED curing retrofit can be completed in a day or less and be ready immediately for ink and substrate testing. The SST LED curing Lamp System utilizes wider dose window with double irradiance peaks to achieve excellent cure with the lowest electricity consumption and heat development.

Heat Reduction extends the lifetime of LEDs

Heat is the primary cause of LED failure and degradation.

Saves Space

This sytem produces low heat and low air exchange, perfect for clean room use. The power, controls and water circulation system are all low profile so they can placed under the conveyor. There is no fans to blow over the conveyor to introduce dust.

SST LED system peaks in the wavelength that best fit for the photo-initiator used for white and black screen inks. Traditional UV does not peak in those areas.

RETROFIT CASE STUDY

The pictures below show the before and after equipment of a typical screen press retrofit from UV to SST LED

This was part of an 11 press retrofit done in 2018 & 2019. The presses ranged from 40 to 60” in width

The equipment on the left (UV Power supply, UV lamp, exhaust blower and exhaust ducting), was completely replaced by the power supply, water circulation and curing lamp the right

The retrofit took approx. 4 hours per press to install

The energy cost to run these presses and exhaust systems were reduced from $73K per year to $5K per year The carbon emissions were reduced from 656 tons per year to 54.
