Protect the printed sheet with a high gloss coating applied by an ultra violet curing roller coater. After 15 years of product development and machine design we can now offer a UV roller coater which is made to coat up to 15 or 22 inches, has easy set-up and clean up, easy automatic return to settings, it is completely enclosed for safety and odor control, made of sturdy construction, allows minimal odor in the plant area, low sound emitting vacuum blowers, low outside machine temperature to prevent burns, low speed capability due to unique lamp control and high quality gloss, satin or matte finish.

After 15 years of research and development, equipment design, pilot studies and manufacturing we have available for immediate sale a system which can feed, coat, UV cure and stack high gloss, satin and matte coatings on paper and plastics.

We are capable of supplying all parts of the system. Some parts may not be required based on budget constraints or customer requirements. Please let us know if you require testing of your specific substrate or a formal quotation which meets your and your customers' requirements.

We will provide all parts of the systems including the coatings. The system cost is as low as $10,000.00 up to $30,000.00 depending on what features are required by the end user.

UV clear gloss coating FDX 951 is the industry standard coating for this special UV roller coater. It is available from Fergesen Design Co., Inc. in pails. Drums and one gallon containers plus special one quart feed systems for low volume users.

Some things to look for when evaluating these systems are as follows:

• Ease of set-up and clean-up
• Easy return to settings
• Complete enclosure
• Sturdy construction
• Odor control for people operating and in the plant area
• Blower noise
• Stock temperature rise below 100 F even at slow speeds
• Width of coater 15", 22" 22"+
• Speed control of sheet matched to lamp output
• Quality uniform finish on every sheet
• Low maintenance long lasting low energy consuming green technology LED curing instead of mercury vapor lamps

Since 1981 Fergesen Design has been designing and constructing hand held and bench mounted ultra violet curing systems to meet our customers' requirements. They can and are being used for replacing solvent and water based technologies for the following industries:

• Medical
• Electronics
• Automotive
• Aerospace
• Telecommunications
• Optical
• Packaging
• Industrial: glass, wood and metal finishing

Some of the materials cured using this technology are adhesives, coatings, encapsulants, shallow potting compounds, masking material and gaskets. Fergesen Design provides spot and flood lamps, curing conveyors and specialty designed ovens to cure these special materials.

These materials cure faster and use less energy than silicones, cyanoacrylates, two part epoxies, two part urethanes, hot melts and solvent based adhesives coatings and inks.

The lamps are designed to fit the customers' part requirements but the basic curing science remains the same. The customer applies the adhesive, coating or ink. The part is conveyed, held or passed under the lamp. The lamp is set at the distance or at the exposure time necessary to cure the part. In seconds the material is cured up to 1/4" to 1/2" thickness. Because of the flexibility, adhesion characteristics and scratch resistance built into the cross linked resins the resulting coating or adhered part far surpasses that of most silicone, 2 part epoxy, 2 part urethane and cyanoacrylate coating or bonding methods.

We welcome a chance to show our technology please contact us if you require additional information.

For those not familiar with ultra violet (UV) systems pictured above is a basic UV lamp system. This entire system is composed of three key components.

The lamp which is a medium pressure mercury vapor lamp
The reflector housing which includes reflector, shutters and lamp cooling system
The power supply which is the electrical controls of the lamp and interface the lamp using the latest touch screen controls.

With the state-of-art controls we have we can fit the irradiator housing into a label, sheet fed and web press from 6" to 90" wide. The result is an EPA compliant system which eliminates VOC's and HAP's and reduces carbon dioxide emissions.

Since 1981 Fergesens' UV air cooled and water cooled curing systems have been manufactured and designed to cure UV inks at high speeds for both web and sheet fed presses. Fergesen Design Systems are an EPA recommended dryer/curing technology because UV inks and coatings eliminate VOC'S and HAP'S in the press room and tyen surrounding environment. Now with the latest ruling on carbon dioxide emissions the result with this technology is an acclaimed 'green' technology that offers savings in electricity and elimination of natural gas; decreasing the carbon foot print of the printing operation.

Some examples of recent installations for the technology are:

Mitsubishi web 5 unit perfector with in line coater all equipped with UV lamps operating at 1600 FPM.

Curing flexo inks label presses with your choice of medium pressure mercury lamps or LED's. The system offers easy touch controls for high level UV systems and UV process controls. It has a detailed operator work station screen and screens for UV lamp status and system diagnosis all tied into press operation controls.

Highly accurate/automated dispensing and coating technology is presently the method used by the photovoltaic (PV) industry to spray back sheet and pot the junction box. In the medical industry it is used to spray the moving stent with a protective coating. It all involves technology readily available to Fergesen Design. We will analyze the customers' requirements and determine what method of application and drying/curing is best to meet their pilot and product requirements. In the wind energy industry the coating is selectively sprayed to very large metal wind energy fan pieces and cured with ultra violet hand held systems and automated UV systems where necessary.

The system is applicable and readily applied for solder pastes, silicones, epoxy, UV acrylates, UV methacrylates, and cyanoacrylates.

Fergesens' latest technology can be used can be used for selective coating, surface mount adhesives, meter-mix dispensing, custom automation, manual dispensing, non contact dispensing and sophisticated industrial UV paint and UV clear coating spraying systems.

We will assist in your selection of the highest performance lowest cost method to meet your customers' needs.

Below is a list of UV coatings accepted and used by various manufacturers.

All UV coatings require less energy and are greener than solvent or water based systems. LED systems require less energy to operate and are longer lasting than UV lamps. Also IR drying coatings require a tremendous amount more energy and produce a considerable amount more carbon dioxide than either UV lamps or LED coatings.

Below is a list of coatings we have available for immediate sale. Please select the coating which best meets your customer requirements. As an example: what finish are you or your customers looking to achieve? Is it high gloss, scratch resistant, matte, satin or pressure sensitive? Also what method are you going to use to apply it? We have most coatings inks and adhesives in various viscosities designed for easy application on most application equipment. Our chemists are available to test your substrate and review you application for any areas. Also product data sheets are available if requested.
