UV coater lamps

Over the past few years, the multitude of UV coaters has increased exponentially. Whether gloss, matte or satin, UV finishes adds high-value appeal to items such as calendars, direct mail and book covers. Colors are enhanced while product is protected. UV coating is one of the most requested finishes today. Customers ask for it by name for business cards, post cards and direct mail offerings. The lure of a cost effective, high profit application has led to increased coater demand.

Like any machine cycle, USA made UV coaters have given way to more “cost-effective” machines produced in the Far East. Most companies distribute Chinese machines with English sounding names. One look “under the hood” will confirm you cannot go to the local electrical supply to find replacement parts. This does not mean these machines are inferior; rather one must be cautious before taking the plunge. Many Chinese machines are sold by trading companies. They buy from company A today and company B tomorrow. Obtaining replacement parts can be problematic, especially replacement UV lamp. Not to worry, TCS Technologies can produce a USA manufactured lamp to keep your coater running. No order is too small and we ship worldwide.

We offer replacement lamps for coaters sold by TEC Lighting, UV Research, Al’s Co UV, FMA, Apollo, Steinemann, Royo and Kompac Technologies. Contact us for further information.
