company news about The pinnacle collaboration between automatic screen printing machines and UV curing technology

In modern industrial manufacturing, efficiency and quality have always been the core competitiveness of enterprises. Traditional screen printing, due to its slow ink drying, large footprint, and tendency to stick together, can no longer meet the demands of high-paced production. Today, the perfect combination of automatic screen printing machines and UV curing systems is redefining the standardized production process in the screen printing industry.

Automatic screen printing machines are responsible for high-precision pattern output, while UV lamps (ultraviolet curing systems) are responsible for instantly "freezing" the finished product. Compared to traditional drying equipment, UV curing does not rely on heat to evaporate the solvent, but rather uses specific wavelengths of ultraviolet light to trigger the photosensitizer within the ink, causing a polymerization reaction.

• Second-Level Curing: The product achieves 100% curing the instant printing is completed, passing through the UV lamp zone.
• Cold Light Source Protection: Modern UV-LED technology has extremely low heat radiation, preventing deformation or damage even to ultra-thin plastics, films, or heat-sensitive materials.

1. Doubled Capacity, Simplified Processes

   Traditional processes require numerous drying racks or drying tunnels several meters long. UV lamps, however, are compact and integrated directly into the tail end of the screen printing machine. Products enter the machine as blank blanks and exit as finished products, eliminating intermediary steps and significantly shortening delivery time.

2. Superior Surface Performance
   • High Adhesion: Withstands cross-cut adhesion tests and alcohol wiping.
   • High Weather Resistance: UV resistant, scratch resistant, and maintains vibrant color saturation over time.
   • Precise Ink Reproduction: Ink locks in instantly, preventing ink runs, ghosting, or dust contamination, ensuring every product is of high quality.
3. Green Environmental Protection and Cost Control
   • Zero VOC Emissions: UV inks contain no volatile solvents, making them environmentally friendly and compliant with increasingly stringent environmental assessments.
   • Energy Saving and Consumption Reduction: The automatic screen printing machine is linked with the UV lamp, achieving "lighting up when there is a printout, and standing by when there is no printout," saving up to 70% more energy compared to a constant temperature drying oven.

• Electronics and Appliances: Mobile phone back covers, control panels, membrane switches.
• Packaging Containers: Cosmetic bottles, glassware, high-end gift boxes.
• Automotive Industry: Dashboards, interior trim dials.
• Medical Devices: Scale dials, injection molded part markings.

Moving from "manufacturing" to "intelligent manufacturing," equipment upgrades are key. Automatic screen printing machines paired with UV lamps represent more than just an addition of production tools; they optimize production logic. This not only solves the persistent problem of slow drying but also gives businesses a competitive edge in space utilization, quality control, and environmental compliance.
