Gallus Collaborates with GEW to Offer Ultra-Efficient UV Curing Technology!

With over 300 units sold, the Gallus ECS 340 label printing press is the fastest selling press in the industry. From the date of initial introduction, the press has been equipped with GEW’s advanced UV curing system. At Labelexpo in Brussels, Gallus will demonstrate the new generation of printing units for the Gallus ECS 340 equipped with the latest UV system from GEW based on their E2C® technology, specially modified for the Gallus press.

The E2C-RHINO system uses substantially less energy
GEW’s E2C UV curing system with RHINO electronic power supply takes curing of inks and coatings to new levels of productivity and print run security. Where alternative products exploit conventional curing technologies that often neglect energy monitoring, GEW state of the art UV curing systems implement advanced UV lamphead technology along with the most energy efficient power supplies.

The E2C-RHINO system uses substantially less energy and enables color process printing at full production speed with as little power as 90 W/cm (230W/inch). Its 96% efficiency often means a return on investment of less than two years!

To enable all customers to witness the performance with this new system, Gallus is currently installing a Gallus ECS 340 press its St. Gallen showroom equipped with the new E2C UV system along with the RHINO UV controller. Customers will have the opportunity to test the press with conventional mercury lamps and compare it with the new LED technology. Thanks to a well thought-out design, both systems are interchangeable in the printing unit without requiring any mechanical upgrades.

Moving forward, LED technology for all other Gallus press models will be available as an option. The first test runs for customers will be possible beginning in November 2015. Contact your Gallus sales representative to schedule a visit to see this new technology.
