IST METZ - Model EXIcure - Excimer Technology for Surface Finishing in Wood and Flooring Industry
The Excimer technology provided by IST METZ is a revolutionary method for surface finishing, specifically tailored for the wood and flooring industry. This technology utilizes UV rays at a short wavelength of 172 nm, allowing for precision in texture transformation without relying on traditional matting agents. With a working width capability of up to 4 meters, it addresses the need for large-scale applications, enhancing productivity and quality. The excimer process facilitates the creation of surfaces with gloss levels under 5, delivering an anti-fingerprint soft touch finish that is also abrasion resistant. This innovative approach includes scalability in its application, seamlessly integrating into existing production systems to extend irradiation areas and optimize performance. Furthermore, the excimer treatment process is designed to enhance material surface properties, improving wettability without causing structural damage, making it ideal for delicate materials and metals. This opens up further avenues for efficiency in surface modification, particularly for sensitive materials like functional films and thin wafers.UV Systems
IST METZ - Model BLK - UV System for Industrial Applications
The BLK UV System by IST METZ is designed for high-demand industrial applications, offering enhanced drying performance without the associated increase in energy consumption. With a lamp output reaching up to 240 W/cm and a total power capacity of 36 kW, this system stands as one of the market's most robust UV solutions. The lamp can extend up to 2.4 meters in length. Its compact design allows for seamless integration into existing machinery while requiring minimal exhaust air, thus lowering operational expenses. The BLK system supports versatile usage, either as a standalone unit or within flexible configurations, such as interchangeably with the modulux or modulux Turbo for LED UV implementation. It's classified under energy-efficient UV printing and has obtained the DGUV Test seal, marking it as a leading safe product within Europe.
IST METZ - Model FREEcure - Photoinitiator-Free UV Curing System
The FREEcure UV curing system by IST METZ represents a significant advancement in the field of UV printing and curing technology. By eliminating the need for photoinitiators, FREEcure leverages high-energy UVC light for the direct cleavage of double bonds, which is particularly beneficial for GMP applications. This innovative technology allows the formulation of lacquers and pigment coatings without photoinitiators, reducing the number of lamps necessary for dose-intensive activities and ultimately promoting environmental sustainability. Moreover, FREEcure excels in packaging printing applications and in industries such as wood and wood-based materials by delivering a reduced emission interior and enhanced surface scratch resistance. The system supports the partial or full replacement of traditional ESH systems, helping to eliminate coatings that release formaldehyde. With fewer UV units required, it also offers energy savings and lower operational costs, while enhancing drying performance by over 70% using the BLK technology basis.LED UV Systems
IST METZ - Model LUV - LED UV System
The LUV LED UV system from IST METZ exemplifies advanced UV curing technology with a modular and robust design tailored for diverse industrial applications. This system is distinguished by its scalability in length, allowing seamless adaptation to various machine formats and installation setups. Its robust construction ensures access to critical machine components, enhancing operational efficiency. Equipped with the XT8 Booster technology, the LUV system achieves up to 30% greater power than standard LED systems, empowering high-performance capabilities essential for sheetfed offset printing. The system maintains a consistent irradiation distance of 50 to 100 mm from the substrate, optimizing curing through a broad irradiation field and providing an extended drying period. These features enable flexibility in selecting paints and varnishes, supporting efficient curing processes. Designed for easy optical exchange and LED chip retrofitting, the LUV integrates decades of IST METZ's experience in custom machine integration.
