In the printing industry, especially in flexographic printing, technological advancements are driving more and more businesses to seek upgrades for their UV curing systems. However, upgrading equipment often entails significant costs and long downtime, which can be a huge challenge for production efficiency and profitability. Therefore, how to quickly and efficiently upgrade the UV system without completely replacing the equipment has become a key concern for many printing factories
iUV’s Innovative Upgrade Solution
iUV has launched an innovative upgrade solution to help customers upgrade the UV curing system of their old flexographic printing presses at the lowest cost and highest efficiency. The core concept of this solution is to maximize the return on investment and efficiency improvement, by retaining the infrastructure of the original equipment and carrying out intelligent transformation, thereby reducing the upgrade cost, reducing downtime, and improving production efficiency and product quality.
Retaining the Casing to Reduce Equipment Replacement Costs
One of the most innovative aspects of the iUV upgrade solution is its approach to retaining the original equipment shell, including the old UV curing system’s lamp casing and UV lamp box, and upgrading them with LED curing technology. Replacing them entirely would not only require significant investment but also lead to long periods of downtime.
The LED lamp box from iUV is fully compatible with the original mercury UV lamp box, meaning that customers can switch seamlessly between LED and mercury vapor curing systems, depending on specific production processes and ink requirements. This ensures a smooth transition in the production process without the need to replace the entire system.
Smart Power Systems and HMI Control Integration
To further streamline the upgrade process and enhance compatibility, iUV also offers an intelligent power system and HMI (Human-Machine Interface) control system integration. The most notable feature of this system is its ability to support and integrate with multiple UV control brands and types available on the market, such as popular brands like IST and GEW.
This flexible integration solution simplifies operations, as operators can control and monitor both systems using a single interface, eliminating the need for multiple, complex control systems and saving significant operational and management costs.
Why Choose the iUV UV Curing System Upgrade Solution?
- Cost Savings
The iUV upgrade solution minimizes customer investment by allowing them to retain the lamp housing and lamp box. By upgrading only the LED components, businesses can significantly lower their capital expenditure while enhancing system performance.
- Flexibility and Scalability
iUV’s solution is highly flexible, allowing customers to switch between LED and mercury vapor curing systems based on specific production needs and ink requirements. This flexibility enhances the adaptability of the production line, ensuring that the system can handle a wide range of printing processes.
- Intelligent Management and Control
The integration of iUV’s intelligent control system allows operators can manage both systems seamlessly, improving operational efficiency and reducing the risk of human error. The smart control system also offers proactive maintenance capabilities, alerting operators to potential issues before they become critical.
- Reduced Downtime, Increased Production Efficiency
One of the major obstacles in traditional equipment upgrades is downtime. iUV’s solution is designed to minimize this downtime, ensuring that businesses can transition to a new UV system with minimal disruption.
- Strong Compatibility
