Benford’s liquid cooled UV curing systems set the benchmark for the conventional ARC lamp industry in reliability and quality. ECO UV provides an option to printers who wish to achieve UV curing though a lower power consumption to that of conventional arc lamps. We design our systems around our key values of ‘Safety, Simplicity, Excellence & Value.’ Our systems are at the forefront of the industry in terms of reliability and maintaining a high level of performance even on those extended print runs. Patented and highly recommended by our customers Benford is a top choice for any demanding printer who wishes to achieve consistently excellent printing results.
By using only one UV lamp and special UV inks, the benefits are:
- Low cost outlay.
- Lower power consumption – one quarter compared to standard UV.
- No more spray powder required.
- The sheets are 100% dried at high speeds and ready to go.
- Multiple substrates can now be printed on.
- No stock deformation as very little heat is produced.
- No dry back.
- Super high gloss coatings and dramatic colours are now available.
Maximise your Uptime
The ECO UV system was designed to eliminate downtime and increase profitability.Reliability is achieved through Benford’s ‘simple design technology.’ Our system lamp heads are maintenance free, outlasting everything in its class.
Flexible to your Printing Needs
ECO UV modules are interchangeable with other Benford modules, offering full flexibility on the printing press.A single operator can move an Interdeck module to another module position in minutes, depending on the printing requirements.
Simplicity of Design
Benford lampheads are the simplest on the market, achieved without cutting back on quality and performance. The lamphead modular components require minimal maintenance, the lamp and reflectors will need to be changed periodically.
Our HMI control screen shares the running time of the lamps, all done automatically. With our plug-and–play locking system, UV lamps slide into module positions to get you up and running in minutes.
Energy Efficient
Benford is the first and only UV systems manufacturer to provide a standby power mode that has an 85% reduction compared to other UV manufacturers. Our reflector designs and flexible lamp positioning allows a closer cure to the substrate delivering the best curing energy density available, requiring 75% power consumption compared to a standard UV system layout.
H-UV Compatible
Eco UV systems allows for the curing on the new generation of High Wavelength UV (H-UV) products, that require a reduced amount of energy for curing, removing the need for multiple units on a press.
Safety Assured
The safety integrity of ECO UV is proven not only through certifications of CE, UL and CSA, but also through rigorous testing at our facility and onsite to ensure flawless operation in the harshest of real world conditions. Fail safes?
Quality Service
We provide an installation date that best suits you whilst installing our systems in a timely manner keeping your pressroom downtime to a minimum. At Benford systems are built so that they can be serviced by your own engineer’s, enabling 99% of the servicing to be carried out by your staff.Where need arises, we can send out an engineer quickly to any part of the world.
Support
Benford are a call away, offering assistance if the need ever arises that you need help with your print. Should you wish to discuss any system aspects of your printing requirements our printing consultant is on hand to discuss solutions with you.
