Plastic glass cylinder UV LED curing machine:

Adapt to PP plastic and glass cylinder

• Curved surface fitting advantage: For cylindrical products made of PP plastic and glass, the curing machine can adapt well to their curved surface shape. Whether it is a cylindrical container made of PP plastic or a cylindrical ornament made of glass, its curing device can be adjusted reasonably to fit tightly with the surface of the cylinder, ensuring that the UV LED light can evenly irradiate all parts of the curved surface, achieving a comprehensive and sufficient curing effect, and avoiding the situation of partial uncured or uneven curing.

• Targeted material treatment: Considering the different material properties of PP plastic and glass, targeted response can be carried out during the UV LED curing process. PP plastic has specific requirements for the absorption and reaction of UV light. The curing machine can select UV LED light of appropriate wavelength and intensity for irradiation based on these characteristics, so that the coating, ink, etc. can be firmly cured on its surface; for glass products, it can also optimize the lighting parameters to ensure that the ideal curing quality of decorative coatings on the glass surface is achieved, meeting the diverse needs of cylindrical products of different materials.

UV LED curing features

• Efficient curing ability: UV LED curing technology itself has the advantage of fast curing. Compared with traditional curing methods, it can quickly dry and cure the ink and coating on the surface of PP plastic and glass cylinders in a short time. This not only greatly shortens the production cycle and improves production efficiency, but also can lock the quality of printed patterns and coatings in time, making them clearer and firmer. For example, after printing labels on PP plastic bottles, the ink can be quickly cured to improve the wear resistance and durability of the pattern.

• Energy-saving and environmental protection performance: The energy consumption during UV LED curing is relatively low, and its efficiency in converting electrical energy into UV light is high. Compared with traditional mercury lamp curing equipment, it can significantly reduce energy consumption. In addition, the LED light source has a long service life, which reduces the maintenance cost of frequent replacement of bulbs, which meets the requirements of modern production for energy conservation and environmental protection. Long-term use can save a lot of cost expenditure for enterprises.

Convenience of key panel operation

• Simple and easy to use: The key panel operation is designed to be simple and intuitive. The operator can easily complete basic operations such as switching the UV LED lamp, adjusting the light intensity, and setting the curing time by pressing the corresponding button. This simple operation method does not require complex training, and novices can quickly master it, which effectively lowers the operation threshold, enables the equipment to be put into production more quickly, and improves overall work efficiency.

• Precise parameter control: Although it is a key panel, key parameters can still be accurately adjusted. According to the different process requirements of PP plastics and glass products, such as coatings of different thicknesses and inks of different colors, operators can accurately set parameters such as the intensity and curing time of UV LED light to ensure that the curing effect reaches the best state and ensure the stability and consistency of product quality.

• Real-time status display: The key panel can also display some important status information of the equipment in real time, such as the working status of the UV LED lamp (whether it lights up normally, whether there are fault prompts, etc.), the current curing time progress, etc., so that operators can understand the operation of the equipment at any time, discover and deal with possible problems in time, and ensure the smooth progress of curing work.

Low loss advantage

• Long light source life: Low loss is reflected in the long service life of the UV LED light source. Its internal structure and material properties determine that it has relatively unobvious light decay during long-term use, and can continuously and stably output UV light of sufficient intensity. This means that there is no need to frequently replace the light source, which reduces the downtime and cost investment caused by replacing the light source, and further improves the efficiency and economy of the equipment.

• Efficient energy utilization: The curing machine focuses on efficient energy utilization in design. By optimizing components such as the optical path and reflector, the light emitted by the UV LED is irradiated to the surface of the PP plastic and glass cylinder as much as possible, reducing the scattering and waste of light, and maximizing the curing effect of the UV LED light source. While ensuring the quality of curing, it reduces the overall energy consumption and operating costs.

Application advantages and significance

• Improve product quality: With the good curing effect on PP plastic and glass cylinders, the ink and coating on the surface of the product can be firmly attached and the appearance is exquisite, such as improving the decorative effect of glass crafts, enhancing the clarity and wear resistance of the logo of PP plastic packaging products, effectively improving the overall quality and beauty of the product, and enhancing the competitiveness of the product in the market.

• Meet diverse needs: In many industries such as packaging, crafts, and daily chemicals, PP plastic and glass cylinder products are widely used and have different requirements for curing. This low-loss UV LED curing machine can flexibly respond to various process requirements. Whether it is mass production or small batch customization, it can provide high-quality curing services, meet the diverse needs of different companies for product surface treatment, and promote related industries to continuously improve product processing quality.

After the ink is printed, it is completely dried and there is no peeling phenomenon, which is one of the most important indicators for measuring the quality of screen printing. For screen printing of plastic bottles, solvent-based inks or UV inks can be selected. Solvent-based inks are dried by hot air or naturally; UV inks are dried by UV curing machines.
UV ink is UV ink, which refers to the use of ultraviolet light of different wavelengths and energies to polymerize the monomers in the ink binder into polymers under ultraviolet light, so that the ink is film-formed and dried. UV ink has the following characteristics: good environmental protection; no blocking of the net, which is conducive to the printing of fine products; the ink film after drying has good gloss, good wear resistance, water resistance, oil resistance and solvent resistance; fast drying speed: it can be cured instantly under ultraviolet light, greatly improving printing efficiency; saving ink: under the same printing conditions, UV ink uses less ink. Generally, solvent-based ink can print about 50㎡ per kilogram, while UV ink can print 70㎡.
Plastic bottle UV curing machine is a device specially used for drying plastic bottle UV ink. It consists of a conveyor belt, a curing system, and an operation panel. The conveyor belt is generally composed of a stainless steel conveyor belt that can be circulated and drives a rotating fixture. The plastic bottle is placed on the fixture and enters the UV curing system along the conveyor belt. When the bottle enters the irradiation area of ​​the lamp, it will rotate one circle, and the ultraviolet light will irradiate the UV ink on the bottle body, causing drying. By setting the angle and intensity of the UV lamp and adjusting the speed of the bottle, the optimal drying process of the UV ink can be achieved.
