UV curing systems manufacturer GEW will be showcasing its full product range at Labelexpo Europe 2023, with a particular emphasis on its air-cooled UV LED system, AeroLED.

 

AeroLED is a high power system for full cure, printing, coating and converting applications up to 60cm wide. An innovative design update makes AeroLED compatible with GEW’s ArcLED system. Using the same fan and ducting arrangement as the industry standard E2C, printers have total flexibility to switch between arc and LED curing on any station.

 

In an AeroLED system, air is extracted by a single centralised fan sited away from the press. There is no need for integrated fans or electronics in the individual lampheads, which eliminates the high pitched noise and risk of failure that these bring. AeroLED features the same LED chassis and core components as GEW’s water-cooled LeoLED lamphead, for proven reliability. Every aspect of the design has been carefully considered to deliver robust performance and long-term dependability.

 

AeroLED’s efficient optical design enables the lowest energy usage of all GEW products, delivering energy savings of typically 50-70% when compared to a conventional UV arc system.

 

In conclusion, AeroLED has also been shortlisted for the Global Label Award for Innovation (<300 employees).
