The right power supply is essential for UV Curing systems. Alpha-Cure are able to offer a wide choice to suit your specific needs:-

 

 

 
   
 
      
   
 
     
     
 
 Choke & Ignitor Control Gear 
 
 Widely used in the narrow web market, it is the simplest most cost-effective method of running medium pressure UV curing and metal halide lamps.

A single-phase (220/240 volt) supply, choke and ignitor circuit, will run lamps with an arc voltage up to 135 volts. A cross phase (380/415 volt) supply, coke and ignitor circuit, will run lamps with an arc voltage from 135 to 285 volts.

 
     
 
 Constant Wattage Control Gear 
   The most common form of control gear for running medium pressure UV curing and metal halide lamps with arc volts between 285-3000v. Widely used for its reliability and because the lamp power remains constant regardless of supply fluctuations. Lamp power variation can be simply achieved by switching the series capacitors in or out. 
     
 
 Reactive Transformer Control Gear 
   A widely used power supply for running medium pressure UV curing and metal halide lamps. The benefit of reactive over constant wattage control gear when running high power metal halide lamps, is the stability of the lamp arc. 
     
 
 Fully Electronic Control Gear 
   Electronic Power Supplies are the new generation of control gear for the rapidly expanding narrow web market. Electronic power supplies offered up to 9kw and provide step-less control of the lamp output from 10% to 100%. This innovative control gear has been specifically designed to optimise the lamp's life and performance. This means that the electronic power supplies control the lamp's warm up and running characteristics to best suit the lamp, ultimately resulting in a cost efficient control gear option. 
 
   
 
 ContiTron Control Gear 
 
 A new range of step-less controlled power supplies for UV-curing lamps up to 10kw. The rapid development in UV-print technology for the narrow web market means that more and more companies require step-less controlled UV-systems. To date the common solution for step-less control has been a reactive transformer controlled by a pre-switched thyristor. This solution is very expensive for narrow arc lamps and due to the phase cut off (d.c. element of the waveform) there is actually a period when the lamp is off during each cycle of the lamps operation.
