BLK®
Maximum efficiency in web printing
IST METZ GmbH
BLK® LAMPcure
BLK® LAMPcure was designed for the most stringent
industrial requirements. The system is extraordinarily
efficient. By increasing the efficiency of the system
continuously, operating costs have been considerably
reduced through a significant drop in electricity
consumption.
Increased efficiency through innovative technology:
1. Optimized reflector geometry through raytracing technology
2. URS® reflector surface coating
3. Electronic power supply units ELC®
4. Fast Lamp Change FLC®
5. UV measurement
6. Option: inert gas operation

Developed specifically for web printing
applications
Highest process speed
Optimized energy efficiency
The reduced energy consumption of the UV
system also leads to a reduction in CO2
emissions.
The installation of the BLK® system prevents
the production of several tons of CO2
emissions each year.
DGUV tested safety

Raytracing Technology
Simulation of the UV rays in order to optimise the reflector geometry:
Statical receptor surfaces – representative surfaces for UV curing
„ Evaluation of the UV efficiency of the unit, homogeneity of the emission rays, spacing characteristics

URS® Reflector
URS® cold mirror reflector technology
offers many benefits:
Optimum reflector geometry for each
production process, further optimised in
2016
„ UV yield on the substrate for identical lamp
output increased by 10 %
„ Specific coatings to meet the exact
requirements of different applications
„ Selective, controlled heat removal via the
special absorption layer
„ Minimum build-up of heat on the substrate
„ Solid construction
„ Easy cleaning of the reflector and the UV
lamp

Inert Gas Operation®
„
An inert gas version of the BLK is also available for special
requirements, such as in the food packaging sector.
„
More than 20 years of experience in this sector guarantee the
perfect integration of our systems.
„
The specially developed inert gas concept provides for a very low
energy consumption.

Hot Swap Technology
Switch over to BLK® LEDcure on short notice at
any time! based on ELC®
Both BLK® LAMPcure and LEDcure units can
be operated interchangeably with the same
ELC®.
„ They can be used to continuously regulate the
dimming range.
„ Existing UV units that are already operated
with the ELC®-X/PE series can be upgraded to
a LEDcure system. (Smart Control for LEDcure
systems required)

High-performance LEDs
Ready to use immediately after switching on
No warm-up or cooling times, saves both time
and energy
Newly developed optics made of lenses that
are designed for specific applications allows
for an optimum output on the substrate
Long service life
Modules can be replaced easily if required
Water cooling of the LED chips for high
efficiency and a long life time of the system
Available wavelengths: 385 nm as standard,
other wavelengths on request

Electronic Power Supply ELC®
Features:
„
Low operating costs
High electrical efficiency up to 97% = low energy
consumption
„
Compact and light construction. Due to its very
compact construction the required space and weight
for the switch cabinets is reduced.
„
Available for lamp outputs up to 32 kW
ELC® units are available for lamp outputs from 4 kW
to 32 kW. (lamp output of ≥ 240 W/cm optionally
available)
17
Electronic Power Supply ELC®
Features:
„
Lamp output control
In case of sensitive materials the production can
already be started at 35 % of the maximum output.
„
Stand-by operation
The UV unit can be operated in stand-by modus with a
lamp output of approx. 20-30%.
„
Increased production process safety
Due to its integrated control and monitoring system
output control net voltage variations of +/-10% do not
influence the lamp output.
„
Hot Swap technology
