LED UV light source has many advantages: no hazardous materials, low energy consumption, small size, excellent performance, cost saving, cost-effective, customized options for enhanced durability, etc.
The difference between LED UV light source and traditional UV lamp is:
1. Super long life: The service life is more than 10 times that of the traditional mercury lamp curing machine.
2. It is a cold light source, no thermal radiation, and low temperature rise on the surface of the illuminated product, which solves the long-standing thermal damage problem in optical communication and liquid crystal production.
3. The heat generation is small, which can solve the problem of the high heat generation of the mercury lamp printing equipment and the unbearable problems of the staff.
4. Lights up instantly, no need to warm up and instantly reach 100% power UV output.
5. The service life is not affected by the number of opening and closing.
6. High energy, stable light output, good uniform irradiation effect and improved production efficiency.
7. The effective irradiation area can be customized, the length is from 7mm to 1000mm.
8. It does not contain mercury and does not produce ozone. It is a safer and more environmentally friendly alternative to traditional light source technology.
9. Low consumption, power consumption is only 10% of traditional mercury lamp curing machine
, Can save 90% of electricity. .
An essential metal element in traditional UV lamps is mercury. Since the United Nations Environment Program officially announced that more than 140 countries have reached an agreement on the world's first international convention to limit mercury emissions-the "International Convention on the Prevention and Control of Mercury Pollution." The production and trade of mercury-containing products will be monitored and restricted on a global scale in order to reduce the environmental damage of mercury pollution and the impact on human health.
The convention stipulates that the production, import and export of mercury-containing products that are prohibited before 2020 are: batteries, except button batteries used in implantable medical devices; switches and relays; certain types of fluorescent lamps; soaps and cosmetics. This thunderbolt is undoubtedly a blow to some UV light source manufacturers.
However, how will UV light sources develop under the conditions that attaches so much importance to environmental protection today?
UV LED light sources are becoming more and more popular now. From the perspective of energy saving, a 5KW exposure machine using mercury lamps works 350 days a year, working 24 hours a day, and the industrial electricity price is 1.08 yuan/kWh. There are already more than 130,000. This is also a big expense for enterprises. In contrast, the UV LED exposure machine for the same technical requirements and parameters, according to the above calculation method, the annual electricity bill is only less than 15,000. Such a huge gap must be considered by a careful boss.
