Most of us have learned about UV paint more or less,as it’s not something very new,neither LED is,but what IF we put them together and make it like “LED UV”,I assume many of us get a bit confused,wondering what it is exactly,let’s crack and get it right today.
The advantages of LED UV curing mainly include the following aspects:
Long service life: The service life of LED UV curing machine can reach 20000 to 30000 hours, far exceeding the 800 to 3000 hours of traditional mercury lamps. This reduces the frequency of bulb replacement, improves production efficiency, and reduces energy consumption by 12.
Low heat radiation: LED UV technology emits almost no infrared radiation, and the surface temperature of the product during the curing process is usually below 5 ° C. This makes it suitable for thermal sensitive materials and high-precision welding processes, avoiding product damage caused by overheating.
Environmental friendliness: The LED UV curing machine is free of harmful substances such as mercury and will not cause environmental pollution. The processing and transportation of traditional mercury lamps are complex and pose environmental risks, while LED UV technology is cleaner.
Efficient lighting: The LED UV curing machine uses high-power LED chips to provide high-intensity and uniform ultraviolet light output, with an irradiation intensity of up to 8600mW/m ², almost twice that of traditional mercury lamps. This significantly shortens production time and improves production efficiency.
Energy saving: The energy consumption of LED UV curing machines is 70% to 80% lower than traditional UV curing equipment, significantly reducing power consumption and lowering production costs by 3%.
Ozone free generation: The LED UV curing machine light source does not produce short wave UV light, so no ozone is generated during the curing process. There is no need to install additional deodorizing devices or exhaust systems, which helps maintain a clean working environment.
Instant start: The LED UV light curing machine can be started immediately when needed, without preheating, significantly improving work efficiency and avoiding energy waste caused by frequent turning on of traditional light sources.
High flexibility: The point light source design of the LED UV curing machine allows the irradiation range to be adjusted according to needs, achieving more flexible curing operations.
In summary, LED UV curing technology is superior to traditional UV curing technology in multiple aspects, with advantages such as long lifespan, low thermal radiation, environmental protection, high efficiency, energy saving, ozone free generation, instant start-up, and high flexibility.
