At Benford UV, we offer a wide range of UV curing lamps, including arc lamps, LED UV lamps, and metal halide lamps, each tailored for specific applications and curing requirements. We can help you select the best lamp for your needs.

The lifespan of Benford UV curing lamps varies depending on the type of lamp and its usage. Arc lamps typically last between 500 and 2000 hours, while LED UV lamps can last significantly longer, often up to 15,000 hours or more. We provide detailed specifications for each lamp type.

Several signs indicate a lamp needs replacing, including decreased curing efficiency, longer curing times, and visible damage to the lamp itself. We recommend regular lamp inspections and following our recommended replacement schedule to maintain optimal performance.

Yes, we offer a full range of replacement parts for all our UV curing lamps, including reflectors, quartz tubes, and other essential components. We can also assist with installation and maintenance.

UV curing lamps emit powerful UV radiation, which can be harmful if not handled correctly. We provide detailed safety guidelines with each lamp, including recommendations for protective eyewear, clothing, and proper disposal procedures. It’s crucial to follow these guidelines to ensure safe operation.

Retrofitting allows you to upgrade your printing capabilities without investing in a completely new press. It offers improved curing speeds, enhanced print quality, and the ability to handle a wider range of substrates and inks, ultimately increasing productivity and profitability.

Our UV curing systems are designed to be highly adaptable and can be retrofitted to all printing presses, both offset and flexographic. Our team will assess your specific press to determine compatibility and recommend the optimal configuration. We commonly supply and fit UV curing systems to printing presses from Komori, Heidelberg, Koenig & Bauer (KBA), Ryobi Mitsubishi, RMGT, Manroland and Sakurai, as well as web presses like Crabtree, Fuji, Rotatek and Mark Andy, and even metal and industrial printing presses.

The duration of the retrofitting process depends on the complexity of your printing press and the chosen UV curing system. We work closely with you to minimise any downtime and ensure a smooth and efficient installation. We can provide a more accurate timeline after a thorough assessment.

Lead times can be as short as 6 weeks.

In most cases, retrofitting a UV curing system can actually increase the speed of your printing press by enabling faster curing times. This allows for quicker job turnaround and increased production output.

Maintaining a retrofitted UV curing system is similar to maintaining a standard UV curing system. Regular inspections of the lamps, reflectors, and other components are essential. We offer maintenance contracts and support services to ensure the continued performance and longevity of your system.
