UV curing system made safe for
spraybooth use
The QuickCure system provides a total UV light package for curing of paint in spraybooths.
UV Light Technology has just launched the QuickCure system, which provides a total UV light package for curing of paint in spraybooths The QuickCure system comprises a UV 400W hand lamp which is removably stored in a pressurised cabinet which provides isolation from the interior of the spraybooth whenever there is an explosive hazard

Ultimate in belt cleaning technology claimed
Ace Arc has recently been appointed as sole UK distributor for Dirt Whacker belt cleaning equipment, claimed as the ultimate in belt cleaning technology
It provides the operator with a UV light source which is conveniently located within the spraybooth and ready for use with minimum delay following completion of paint spraying.
However, the UV light source is inaccessible and protected by safety interlocks until the hazard from explosion has been either eliminated or minimised to acceptable levels.
This is achieved by interlocking the cabinet door with the compressed air supply system of the spraybooth and maintaining a positive pressure inside the cabinet when the door is closed, according to the following procedure.

The cabinet door is closed and locked during spraying cycles.
The interior is pressurised to maintain a solvent free atmosphere.
After spraying is complete, a start button is pressed which disables the compressed air supply to the spraybooth and switches on the UV lamp which starts to warm up during purging.
The cabinet remains pressurised until the door is opened.
After a preset time the door lock is released and the UV hand lamp can be removed from the cabinet.
It is already up to full power and ready to use for paint curing.
Following completion of UV light exposure of the paint, the UV lamp is put back in the cabinet and the door closed which automatically locks.
The cabinet is re-ressurised and the compressed air supply to the spraybooth is reactivated ready for the next spraying job.
The UV 400W handheld flood lamp represents the very latest technology in its field and offers unrivalled performance.
This is due to the optimum combination of UV lamp, reflector, filter glass and cooling.
The unit is compact and lightweight.
Constructed in aluminium to provide robustness and durability it is designed to meet the most demanding industrial requirements.
The integral cooling system ensures low casing temperature during operation.
All UV Light Technology equipment is supplied with a comprehensive operating, service and repair manual.
This includes maximum permissible exposure times as derived from the ICNIRP guidelines, within the beam angle at various distances.
This is essential for assessing the level of risk for potential adverse health effects arising, or likely to arise from exposure to the UV light emissions.
