ESI, the world’s most innovative manufacturer of Electron Beam (EB) announces its new family of EZCure EB systems: the EZcure-HS, EZcure-LS, EZcure-CR EB systems.
EZcure-HS A high-speed EZCure EB system capable of instantaneously curing inks, coatings, and adhesives at 500 meters per minute.
EZcure-LS Entry level EB that is a lower speed (250 m/min), economical system designed for easy integration on existing installations of CI Flexo, Rotogravure and Offset presses.
EZcure-CR features a compact EB system with an integrated chill roller for applications that may require substrate support and cooling. With a web entry height of only 24”, EZcure-CR is easier to integrate and install onto existing or new production lines with product widths from 20” (50cm) to 66” (165cm).
EB wet-on-wet inks dry instantly and eliminate solvents and heat from the web. EB coatings can be used to replace multi-layer laminations with a single ply substrate and an EB cured topcoat. Instantaneouslycured EB laminating adhesives, which are 100% solvent free, allow for just-in-time processing. This allows Food Flexible Packaging converters to print, laminate and slit all in-line. The instant cure of EB laminating adhesives permits real-time Quality Control and eliminates the need for “work-in-process” inventory.
EB technology offers the most “green” technology on the planet today. Since EB chemistries have no solvents, there are no VOC’s or solvent vented to the atmosphere. Plus EB utilizes a fraction of the energy of conventional drying, thus making it the smallest carbon footprint today.
The new family of EZCure™ EB systems can be relied upon to have the same high industry reliability standard that ESI is known to deliver.
