1. Product Description<br />
The <strong>UV</strong> drying systems manufactured by <strong>GEW</strong> (EC) Limited are designed for the instantaneous<br />
drying of inks, varnishes <strong>and</strong> adhesives that are sensitive to ultra violet (<strong>UV</strong>) light.<br />
A typical web colour printing press comprises several printing stations in line, each station applying<br />
ink of a different colour. The ink printed on the first station must be thoroughly dry before entering<br />
the second station to avoid contaminating the press. A drying unit containing a high power <strong>UV</strong><br />
lamp is located between print stations. The web passes through a ‘web slot' in the drier <strong>and</strong> travels<br />
past the lamp. <strong>UV</strong> drying is effectively instantaneous, allowing the press to be run at high speed.<br />
An extra drying unit may be located at the end of the web for drying varnish applied after the final<br />
printing.<br />
The e-Brick is a highly integrated power supply designed specifically for powering <strong>UV</strong> lamps in<br />
drying systems. The e-Brick features integrated controls <strong>and</strong> all necessary hardware to control<br />
the <strong>UV</strong> system including lamp cooling, safety interlock features, <strong>and</strong> a press interface allowing the<br />
<strong>UV</strong> curing to be controlled automatically.<br />
The e-Brick power supply is a component part of a <strong>GEW</strong> <strong>UV</strong> drying system. A complete system<br />
would also include <strong>GEW</strong> <strong>UV</strong> dryer(s) e.g. VCP, custom cabling, fan cooling, ducting <strong>and</strong> a human<br />
machine interface (HMI) to control the operation of the system. <strong>System</strong>s vary in complexity <strong>and</strong> the<br />
scope of supply differs depending on the application; all systems require commissioning by trained<br />
personnel.<br />
This <strong>manual</strong> should be referred to alongside the <strong>user</strong> <strong>manual</strong>s <strong>and</strong> <strong>installation</strong> information for the<br />
other components in the system.<br />
This <strong>user</strong> <strong>manual</strong> has been prepared in accordance with the guidelines set out in EN12100 <strong>and</strong><br />
