High productivity and low operating costs
The BLK-5 is a new UV drying system that was specially developed for rotary printing applications. When large numbers of copies are to be printed, process speed is a focus of particular attention. Of course, it goes without saying that maximum print quality is required at the same time.
The BLK-5 promises an increase in performance that is truly exceptional. And this means more productivity for you.
The system is extraordinarily efficient. Instead of three type BLK-2 units (with 200 W/cm), as before, now the same excellent drying results can be achieved with just two of our new BLK-5 units (with 180 W/cm).
This noticeable reduction in the electrical load has a direct effect on your operating costs. As the comparative analysis opposite shows, we can drastically cut your electricity costs.
The German trade association for print and paper processing ["deutsche Berufsgenossenschaft Druck und Papierverarbeitung (BGDP)"] recently subjected the UV system to a detailed examination and confirms an increase in efficiency of 40 %. The BLK®-5 system was rated especially energy-efficient for these reasons. On 2nd June 2008, the trade association's test certificate relating to energy-minimized UV printing ["energieminimierter UV-Druck"] awarded to IST METZ on its stand during the Drupa trade fair. This make the company the first manufacturer of UV systems to obtain this certificate.
