Brighter, Cleaner, Greener!

Benford UV recently supplied a second eco – LED UV drying system to Aztec Label, a UK based label printing operator that has been in business for over 25 years.

Benford successfully installed a Benford designed and manufactured LED UV system onto a Roto Press narrow web printer. Aztec Managing Director, Colin Le Gresley has been delighted with the performance and results from the UV retrofitting, most importantly the high value printing effects and sharp colours with no marking. In addition, from a sustainability perspective the new system consumes over 60% less energy than a conventional ultraviolet drying system.

The uv curing system showcases important benefits of a Benford design and LED UV systems including:

  • LED UV Lamps can be switched on and off instantly, with no cooling time required
  • Longevity as diodes have an expected use life of 10-15,000 hours
  • Drying of inks and coatings instantly and printing onto non-absorbent materials
  • Use in different industrial applications as it dries materials like silicones, adhesives and resins in a fraction of a second
