DELAVAN | Wisconsin – November 2024 – AGL (American Graphics Labeling) proudly announces the launch of the SheerKote UV62, the first model in its innovative SheerKote liquid coating equipment line. Designed to address the growing demand for high-performance roll-to-roll liquid coating solutions, the UV62 combines advanced engineering with AGL’s signature industrial reliability.
The SheerKote UV62 is a dedicated roll-to-roll liquid coater that leverages cutting-edge UV LED curing technology for optimal performance and sustainability. With the ability to handle rolls up to 62” wide, 18” in diameter, and weighing up to 1,000 lbs, this robust system delivers production speeds of up to 50 linear feet per minute. The UV62’s superior speed and minimal setup times make it a perfect solution for eliminating coating bottlenecks in high-demand production environments.
In addition, AGL has developed a line of universal coatings compatible with Latex, UV, and Solvent inks, ensuring versatility and seamless integration into diverse workflows.
Why Choose UV LED Technology?
The UV62’s UV LED curing system offers a host of benefits compared to traditional UV Arc lamps, including:
– 90% energy savings and 90% lower carbon emissions**
– Lower operating temperatures, increasing material safety (temperature rise of only 10-25°F vs. 70-90°F with UV Arc)
– Extended service life: 30,000+ hours compared to ~900 hours for UV Arc lamps
– Minimal curing power degradation: Only ~3% over the LED’s life vs. continuous power loss with UV Arc
– Instant on/off functionality without lengthy warm-up or cool-down times
– Ozone-free operation, eliminating the need for costly ventilation systems
The SheerKote UV62 sets a new standard for sustainable, high-performance roll-to-roll liquid coating. Its combination of efficiency, durability, and eco-friendliness makes it a standout choice for modern production environments.
