This latest innovation highlights our ability to adapt and provide cutting-edge UV curing technology for even the most complex applications beyond the printing industry.
With decades of expertise, industry-leading R&D, and an unmatched depth of knowledge in UV curing technology, UV Ray continues to be the go-to supplier for high-performance UV solutions.
Proven Performance & Efficiency Gains
A direct comparison between UV Ray’s curing system and the previous installation highlights game-changing improvements in speed, energy savings, and reliability.
The production speed has significantly increased, reaching up to 800 meters per minute, with a specific power of 120 W/cm, compared to the previous system’s 2×240 W/cm. This advancement has led to substantial energy savings, cutting operational power consumption in half, which not only lowers costs but also extends the lifespan of the lamps and quartz components.
Maintenance has never been easier—thanks to the iPower D system, lamp replacement is now quick and effortless, requiring no additional setup. The overall reliability of the system has drastically improved, resulting in a 50% reduction in spare parts costs, further driving down maintenance expenses.
Energy consumption and air usage have also seen a dramatic decrease. The blower’s energy and air consumption have been reduced by 80%, while the environmental air exhaust has been minimized by 25%. This precise air volume regulation, proportional to the power used, has significantly lowered air conditioning costs, reduced noise and dust, and created a more comfortable work environment for employees.
Substantial Cost Savings & Environmental Impact
UV Ray’s innovative curing system also delivers impressive cost reductions. The system operates with 6 kW of power, compared to 12 kW in the previous installation, cutting energy costs by 50%.
With an average energy cost of €0.10 per kWh, this results in substantial savings. The energy cost per hour is reduced to €0.06 instead of €0.12, which translates to a daily saving of €14.40, a monthly saving of €432, and an annual saving of €5,184—half of what was previously spent.
Beyond financial savings, this system significantly reduces the environmental footprint. Lower energy and air consumption mean less waste, reduced emissions, and a more sustainable production process, making it an ideal choice for manufacturers aiming for eco-friendly and cost-effective operations.
The Future of UV Curing is Here
With its unmatched speed, efficiency, and sustainability, UV Ray’s cutting-edge UV curing technology is redefining optical fiber production. This system not only ensures higher productivity and lower operational costs but also creates a healthier, quieter, and more sustainable work environment.
