UV technology

Take advantage of our knowledge!

As a leading international company we offer UV systems that are based on environmentally friendly technology to cure UV inks, varnishes, silicones and adhesives. Warm air infrared systems complete our product range. By working closely with each customer IST aims to develop a customised solution to meet each customer’s specific needs and to ensure that the system integrates seamlessly in their production line.

All the important components of the UV systems are designed and manufactured in-house. IST has played a significant part in the development and wider acceptance of UV technology through various patents. IST stands out as the best partner for UV systems and service in the printing industry and other industrial sectors. We offer the very latest technology, manufacture to the highest quality-management standards, have over 30 years’ experience and offer a complete range of products.

UV curing systems

The UV curing process uses UV energy and light from the visible light spectrum in wavelengths from 200 to 480 nm. UV energy “cures” inks and varnishes in a fraction of a second. A UV system consists essentially of the following components: UV lamps, reflectors, lamp housings, a cooling system and an electronic operating and control system. A range of additional options can then be added as required. We manufacture to the highest quality standards with precise production of individual components, meticulous calibration of the UV units and the seamless integration of the UV system into the production process.
