Screen Graphics FL retrofits 6 UV screen presses to SST LED and Conveyors
An interview with the VP of Operations, Project Manager and Maintenance Manager after retrofitting 6 Screen Printing presses from 30 inches to 60 inches wide from UV arc to SST LED and conveyors.
It details how screen presses can be transformed to a much less costly and lower maintenance solution. In this case the energy and carbon emissions related to these 6 presses was reduced by 105 tons per year and a $40,000 per year in energy cost savings was realized. They also installed new SST customized conveyor belts with each press. The video covers the decision process for choosing SST LED as well as the installation, service and support and goes into detail on the financial and environmental benefits. The 4 primary benefits outlined are: 1. $40,000 or more annual savings in electrical bill 2. Reducing HVAC demand by lower curing housing temps from 221 f to 105 f 3. 105 tons of carbon emission reductions annually 4. Eliminating a $400,000 cost to install exhaust and ducting systems at a new facility 5. Payback period on the investment of less than a year.
PROJECT HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE:
- 1. $40,000 + per year energy bill savings
- 2. 105 tons per year of carbon emission reduction
- 3. Equal or more curing dosage while producing very little heat
- 4. Reducing HVAC demand by lowering curing housing temps from 221 f to 105 f
- 5. Eliminating a $400,000 cost to install exhaust and ducting systems at a new facility
- 6. Reducing conveyor belt length by 10 feet per press
