UV flexo is starting a move to a wider realm.

UV’s place in the wide world

Industry insiders confirm UV’s expansion on both inline and CI wide-web flexo presses, though the progression on CI equipment has lagged behind a bit due to space constraints.

For flexible packaging applications on both inline and CI flexo designs, Prime UV Systems offers the FLEXfilm curing system, featuring an open-base UV lamp facing a water-cooled chill roll. Suitable for retrofits, the system requires less than 6˝ of space in the web direction. Controlled by the computer-based Smart 2100 Control Platform, the system offers on-screen and remote diagnostic capabilities.
