2KW Mercury UV Curing Light for Flexo Printing Machine

Technical Parameters for this 230V/380V 2000W UV  Cure Lamp

1> Constructed with High Quality Components: Fiver's 2KW UV lamp Bulb are made from top-quality quartz glass, which enables high transmission levels of UV radiation. The seal is formed using molybdenum foil with platinum which ensures good life span even at very high operating temperatures and currents. 

2> Rigorous Manufacturing Process: The complete assembly of our uv cure lamp is furnace-cleaned to remove any traces of impurities before mounting into the quartz lamp envelope. The lamp is pumped and sealed and is completed by adding a ceramic or metal cap and suitable electrical termination.

3> Capillary seal or Pinch Seal Optional: Our Mercury UV lamps can be sealed in either Capillary seal or pinch seal as per customer's requirements. 

4> Strict Quality Control: Each single uv lamp from Fiver has gone through a series of rigorous test before leaving the factory. to ensure each lamp is qualified.

5> Long Life Span: Improved production techniques and higher-grade materials have enabled Fiver to extend the operating life of UV curing lamps from the standard 1000 hours to over 1500 hours under optimal conditions. 

6> Typical Spectral Output of the Mercury UV Lamps: The mercury uv curing lamps can emit a rich ultraviolet spectrum, whose spectral range covers the specific wavelength the 365nm ultravoilet light regions required for ink curing. It can effectively trigger the chemical reactions of the photoinitiators in the ink, promoting the rapid curing of the ink.

Advantages of 365nm UV Curing Light in Flexo Printing:

365nm UV curing lights have several important applications in flexo printing:

1. Ink Curing

In flexo printing, UV curable inks are widely used. The 365nm UV - curing lamp provides the necessary energy to trigger the polymerization process of the ink. When the UV light hits the ink, it activates the photoinitiators present in the ink. These photoinitiators then start a chain reaction that causes the monomers and oligomers in the ink to cross - link and solidify. This rapid curing process allows for high - speed printing operations as the ink dries almost instantly.

2. Enhanced Printing Quality

The use of 365nm UV - curing lamps also ensures excellent print quality. It helps to produce sharp, vibrant, and durable prints. The cured ink has good resistance to abrasion, chemicals, and fading, making it suitable for a wide range of printed products such as food packaging, labels, and flexible packaging materials.

3. Enhanced Productivity

The quick - drying nature of the UV - cured ink enabled by 365nm UV - curing lamps significantly reduces the drying time between printing stages. In a flexo printing process, this means that the printed material can move through the production line more quickly. There is no need to wait for the ink to dry through evaporation like in traditional solvent - based inks. As a result, the overall productivity of the printing process is enhanced, allowing for more efficient production runs and shorter lead times for printed products.

4. Environmental Benefits

UV curable inks used in conjunction with 365nm UV curing lamps have a lower environmental impact compared to solvent - based inks. The curing process of UV inks does not release large amounts of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) into the atmosphere. This makes flexo printing with UV - curing lamps a more environmentally friendly option, especially in areas where strict environmental regulations are in place. It helps printing companies to reduce their carbon footprint and comply with environmental standards.

5. Versatility in Substrate Compatibility

365nm UV - curing lamps allow for effective printing on a wide variety of substrates in flexo printing. Whether it's paper, plastic films (such as polyethylene, polypropylene), or even some non - porous materials, the UV - curing process can provide good adhesion of the ink to the substrate. The ability to print on different substrates without the need for extensive pre - treatment or post - treatment processes gives flexo printers more flexibility in choosing the materials for their printed products. This is crucial for industries that require printing on diverse packaging materials, such as the food and beverage, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical industries.
