What Makes This Lamp Tick
We built this mercury UV lamp for one place: the label printing line. Because out there, cure speed is what sets your line speed. So we went with 400V input. Not a random pick—it keeps the arc steady inside the quartz tube, so you get the high watt density you need to lock in ink fast. You get 2500W of focused power, all packed into a 300mm body. That tight footprint means you can slip it into your existing UV curing setup without tearing the whole machine apart.
The Choices That Keep It Tough
The quartz envelope stays solid even under heavy UV output—no softening, no drama. Inside, the mercury charge gives you that shortwave punch that inks and coatings drink up. And we use an R7s connector, the classic two-pin design. It’s simple, reliable, and gives you a clean, low-resistance connection. It’s a straight swap for most standard fittings, so you can plug in and get back to work—no downtime.
Where It Shines—And What to Keep an Eye On
On the label press, this lamp handles UV inks, adhesives, and topcoats in one pass. That means your throughput stays steady, shift after shift. Now, the trade-off is heat. The power is dense, so your machine’s cooling needs to be up to the job to keep things from running hot around the lamp. Run it within its rated parameters, and you get curing you can count on—consistent, repeatable, and ready to keep up with the pace.
