Squid UV is capable of curing ink in a 20mm x 40mm illumination area. The system features an advanced LED module with CHIP integrated technology to provide consistent luminance, resulting in a reliably cured product, every time. The stability of UV LED technology makes the output of electricity predictable and stable, avoiding problems associated with conventional halogen heat lamp drying. Squid UV offers instant on/ instant off performance, eliminating warm up or cool down times and streamlining your operation. Best of all, Squid UV LED curing is environmentally friendly, eliminating mercury bulbs, VOC’s and providing employees with a safer workplace.

UV technology provides a stable and efficient way of curing ink. The integrated super air cooling system considerably lowers the unit’s operating temperature to extend the life of the machinery while reducing maintenance costs. The use of UV LED curing results in a significant savings in power reduction, and time and money spent replacing lamps becomes obsolete due to the 20,000+ hour illumination runtime. For comparison, Squid UV curing systems use about 75% less energy than typical UV arc lamp curing.

Our UV system is designed to meet the harsh demands of your application. You can be confident that Squid UV’s rugged design will withstand the most abusive industrial environments while providing superior quality UV curing. For ease of integration, Squid UV’s small footprint design mounts directly to users existing manufacturing line and requires no need for preheating. The system can be programmed to run in manual, semi-auto, and automatic mode to match the operation of your manufacturing line. For quick start-ups, Squid UV’s fast response functionality means that the system can be powered on and ready to go at an instant, eliminating downtime and increasing users ROI.
