VariDry LED-UV

KBA North America (Booth 213) will be introducing VariDry LED-UV, the industry’s fastest-growing low-energy drying technology. Designed for commercial and packaging printers from small to large format, the instant cure-to-print system offers very low energy costs to power LED-UV, flexibility to easily move LED-UV lamps interchangeably on press, as well as environmental and safety benefits. In addition, the VariDry LED-UV produces no heat on the printed sheet thus eliminating distortion of plastic substrates. It contains no spray powders or other chemicals and it yields more than 15 times the lifespan of conventional lamps.

KBA is the only large-format press manufacturer that can offer LED hybrid presses using both traditional UV and LED-UV processes. It is also the only large-format press manufacture that produces its own dryer; this means the KBA VariDry system is fully integrated into the press allowing for easy operation no matter if it is infrared, hot air, traditional UV, HR UV or LED-UV. KBA has been supplying traditional UV long perfecting presses for a number of years and, with the introduction to LED-UV, the process is a perfect fit for perfecting configurations.
