The company will highlight how narrow web printers can make substantial energy savings and dramatically reduce their carbon footprint by embracing UV LED technology.

On stand J31 at the Delhi Expo Centre, GEW’s latest UV LED curing system, AeroLED, will take centre stage and also be part of a live demo on a working press on a partner's stand at the show.

Energy savings achieved by switching to AeroLED come in two forms. Firstly, LEDs produce high UV dose at a fraction of the electrical power of conventional UV systems. Secondly, LEDs do not go into standby and are instant on/off, as required. Over the 30,000 hour-plus life of an AeroLED lamp, this equates to significant energy savings.

A further benefit of AeroLED is its ArcLED compatibility, which offers a risk-free upgrade retrofit option. Utilising the same fan and ducting formulation as GEW’s industry renowned E2C system, customers can switch between arc and LED curing on any station.

“Technological advancement is leading to ever more efficient and cost-effective UV LED products, as is demonstrated by the introduction of AeroLED. The opportunities are huge and we are convinced that LED will soon become the dominant technology in our narrow web market,” said Robert Rae, GEW managing director of sales.

Labelexpo India runs from 10-13 November.
