In conversation with IST INTECH: Revolutionising Industrial Applications with Clean Energy UV LED Curing Solutions

IST INTECH is a top innovator in UV LED curing technology solutions, and they're changing how industries approach curing processes. In our recent chat with them, we explored what makes them stand out from the competition and what markets they operate in.

UV LED curing technology has gained a lot of popularity in sectors like label printing, wide format printing, and medical device manufacturing. IST INTECH, with their UK-made UV Lamp and UV LED curing systems, has become the go-to choice for businesses that want reliable and high-performance solutions. These systems come in various configurations to meet different industrial requirements. You can get them as standalone units or seamlessly integrate them into modular setups.

Neil Stickland, the Group Marketing Manager at IST INTECH, said, "At IST INTECH, our mission is to provide cutting-edge UV LED curing solutions that boost productivity and prioritise sustainability. We're proud to be recognised as the gold standard in the industry, offering unmatched performance, energy efficiency, and versatility for industrial applications."

Talking about Flexibility and Sustainability

IST INTECH is a pioneer in the field, constantly pushing the boundaries of UV LED curing technology. They enable industries worldwide to adopt sustainable, cost-effective, and high-performance curing solutions. The compact design of their UV LED systems allows for easy integration into existing production lines, optimising floor space utilisation. By replacing traditional curing technologies with UV LED solutions, businesses can reduce energy consumption, eliminate harmful ozone emissions, and improve overall operational efficiency.

IST INTECH's UV Cure LED lamps are versatile and adaptable to a wide range of applications across industries. Whether it's curing coatings on automotive parts or performing printing and curing processes in the graphics industry, these lamps deliver reliable and consistent curing performance. There is a choice of off-the-shelf, tailored or fully bespoke lamps to suit any type of industrial printing project.

Talking about Efficiency and Precision

IST INTECH's UV Cure LED lamps offer unmatched efficiency and precision, surpassing traditional curing methods. By harnessing the power of LEDs, these lights provide instant and consistent UV output, eliminating the need for warm-up time and reducing curing cycles. This not only increases productivity but also helps manufacturers achieve faster turnaround times and meet demanding production schedules. Moreover, the precise control of UV output, also known as addressability, ensures uniform curing across the target area. This eliminates the risk of under-curing or over-curing, resulting in better product quality, reduced waste, and cost savings.

Talking about Collaboration

IST INTECH's commitment to excellence goes beyond their products. With a team of dedicated experts and a strong focus on customer satisfaction, IST INTECH offers comprehensive technical support, installation assistance, and maintenance services to ensure a smooth process.

From consultation to installation and ongoing support, IST INTECH guarantees a seamless and personalised experience, delivering optimal performance and maximum value for customers.

When we asked Neil Stickland what advice he would give a company looking for a UV LED curing solution, he responded: ‘We feel that selecting the LED UV curing lamp at the beginning of the printing machine production cycle is crucial. This way, it will seamlessly integrate into the machine's design, ensuring exceptional performance with the chosen ink. With the right lamp from the start, you can achieve maximum efficiency, superior print quality, and avoid any disruptions or modifications down the line. It lays the groundwork for a smooth and successful printing machine production cycle, bringing your printer to market faster.’
