Heat Elimination

NEAR ELIMINATION OF HEAT FROM THE PRINTING PROCESS

SST’s LED technology is changing the printing industry by nearly eliminating heat from the printing process. The many issues of heat generated by water-base dryer, UV arc, and Conventional LED are now a thing of the past. The heat generated from inefficient energy transfer is virtually eliminated. The result is the many problems and work-arounds to deal with heat are a thing of the past.

THE BENEFITS FOR ALL PRINT TECHNOLOGIES:

The capital and operating cost of chilling systems are no longer needed
Faster registration of jobs on heat sensitive substrates
Press downtime due to maintenance of chilling systems is eliminated
Print quality issues caused by temperature fluctuation is significantly less
A more comfortable working environment for press operators
Reduced AC load in warm months
Press operator burn risk from hot UV stations is eliminated
Much smaller press-room square footage requirement

FOR FLEXO PRINTING:

Existing presses without chill drums can print shrink sleeves
Reduced cost of new presses as chill drum systems are not needed
Web breaks due to heat are eliminate

FOR SCREEN PRINTING:

Fires due to heat are eliminated
Registration issues caused by shrinkage after each curing station is nearly eliminated
Fans and cooling racks of printed material are no longer needed
Eliminates post print curling, mottling, or blocking due to heat
Improved die cutting variability due to heat
Belt length can be significantly shortened as cooling is not required
