In addition to manufacturing an extensive range of ultraviolet curing lamps, Primarc UV Curing Lamps also supplies high quality replacement quartz cooling tubes for both water-cooled and air-cooled systems. 

Cooling tubes are designed to filter out infrared radiation and are mounted between the UV lamp and substrate. Using cooling tubes on lamp heads for drying ink between the application of different colors offers a major advantage. The benefit of minimal heat on the substrate will minimize the potential of registration difficulties. The tubes filtering out the IR radiation also ensures the machine never gets too hot or heat damaged. The use of cooling tubes is particularly valuable when printing on heat-sensitive and light-weight substrates such as plastic, foil and film.

While requiring minimal maintenance, cooling tubes need to be kept clean to maximize performance. Tubes can be maintained in peak condition by occasionally cleaning with a soft cotton cloth doped with isopropanol. To maintain the purity of the tubes, only de-ionized water should be used in water-filtered systems.

Primarc supplies competitively priced, custom-made cooling tubes for almost all known UV drying systems. Please contact us direct for further details.
