Decolabel endorse GEW UV system for reliability and productivity

The decision in favour of the GEW UV system was largely due to Decolabel’s desire to ensure new investments go only into reliable, futureproof technologies. All of the printing machines at Decolabel are fitted with GEW UV curing systems.

Leander Dekker, Production Manager at Decolabel, explains: “Our objective was to increase our production speed, allow to very fast job-changes, while at the same time maintaining our high quality levels at competitive prices. GEW’s UV system conclusively offered that package of efficiency, reliability and consistent productivity.”

With the GEW E2C system Decolabel are able to generate fresh turnover with new and established customers by further improving on their offer for sandwich labels and multiple-layer labels including special UV varnishes and glue-killers. “We are able to achieve very high scratch resistance which is important to our customers with high demand labels”, adds Dekker.

The GEW UV system based on the high efficiency E2C unit brings the additional benefits of fast burn-in and shut-down times with long production runs without unscheduled stoppages. Dekker concludes: “The E2C lamphead combined with the e-Brick power supply ensure accurate curing at high speeds with no downtime.”
