Improve mobility and guard against can jams, for greater throughput

Can makers apply a rim coating to the bottom rim of two-piece D&I cans to greatly increase the mobility of the cans during production. This results in fewer can jams and significantly increased productivity. Rim cure coating is typically applied immediately to all the cans as they exit the washer, and are transported on a wide vacuum conveyor belt, with can bottoms down.

The cans are then conveyed over a single wide roller, where the rim coating is applied as the cans move directly over the UV curing station. Designed for two-piece can manufacturing, the Nordson CoolWave® 2 UV Rim Cure System features the most advanced and reliable microwave-powered UV systems on the market today.

Every power supply features:

1. Remote I/O as a standard feature
2. Electrical noise filtration
3. Simple operator interface
4. CE approvals
5. Clean efficient design for reduced costly downtime
6. Digital display for ease of troubleshooting

Features and Advantages

No Internal Gasketing - The design has eliminated the maintenance intensive internal gasketing in the microwave cavity. This reduces your operational and maintenance costs, as well as expensive downtime related to internal arcing.

Cooler Operation – The dichroic-coated reflector does not reflect all of the heat-generating infrared light waves back to the substrate. The result is precisely focused UV light where you need it without the damaging infrared energy that is inherent to non-dichroic coated metal reflectors.

Durable glass reflectors - Rather than use conventional polished metal reflectors, the CoolWave uses a proprietary reflector, that is constructed of temperature-stable glass with an engineered dichroic coating as a standard feature. The use of glass reflectors allowed Nordson the design flexibility to offer multiple reflector sets for the CoolWave . Every reflector comes with the industry’s first five-year warranty against workmanship and reflectivity.

Internal Blower Option – With the optional internal blower there is no need for any external/remote cooling blowers. This self-contained lamphead simplifies installation and control. As the user increases or decreases the UV power setting on the power supply, the blower will automatically adjust lamphead blower speed to insure that proper lamp cooling is maintained. This is critical to maintain the proper spectral quality of the UV lamp.
