Overview

Ultraviolet Curing (commonly known as UV Curing) is a photochemical process in which high-intensity ultraviolet light is used to instantly cure or “dry” inks, coatings or adhesives. Offering many advantages over traditional drying methods, UV curing has been shown to increase production speed, reduce reject rates, improve scratch and solvent resistance, and facilitate superior bonding.

UV curing systems are vital to the manufacturing of thousands of items people use every day; from printing and packaging of consumer goods to automotive headlamps, telecommunications, electronics, medical devices graphic arts, glass and plastic decorating , wood , converting and metal and many more. The patented technologies include the use of microwave power to generate intense uv light from electrodeless bulbs.

UV curing offers manufacturers many benefits like,

  • Inks, coatings, and adhesives with dramatically improved physical properties.
  • Faster production speeds and capacity
  • Reduction of work-in-process
  • Dramatically reduced set-up/clean-up labor
  • Environmentally friendly – energy savings, no emissions controls
  • Less floor space needed
  • Increase yield and reduce scrap

 

SIMCO provides complete systems which includes UV curing systems, conveyors and curing chambers, plus spare parts. SIMCO offers a variety of spectral outputs in several lamp system designs so that you can match the lamp output to your specific needs. There are no limitations on cure widths. The modular lamp systems can be placed end to end for a uniform wide cure or configured into any position for curing three-dimensional parts.

Simco believes in vertical integration and hence has gone a step ahead in providing a extensive range of coating needs of its clients to include oem/industrial, specialty, uv/eb curable coatings . Uv coating ” refers to surface treatments which either are cured by ultraviolet radiation, or protect the underlying material from its harmful effects. UV coatings has applications in various industry verticals like automotive, glass, wood, metal , plastics to name a few.
