Frequently Asked Questions
Can it cure thick or heavily pigmented solvent-based coatings?
For thick coatings, a customizable configuration with higher irradiance or multiple lamp passes is recommended. Sample testing is advised to determine optimal settings.
How is the ozone managed?
The system includes an integrated exhaust system to safely remove ozone generated by the UV lamps during operation.
What is the lamp lifetime?
Typical lamp life ranges from 1,500 to 2,500 hours, depending on the specific lamp type and operating cycle conditions.
