Will UV printers pollute the environment during production?

Nowadays, the country’s environmental protection requirements in industrial production are getting higher and higher. All localities and departments have a lot of rigid requirements on environmental protection issues. Friends who have done silk screen printing and spray printing processes should know that the environmental protection department treats polluting production enterprises. If it is found that there is exhaust gas and waste water discharge, it must be rectified before opening. I heard from a friend a few days ago that now he always has to look for someone to watch when he is producing products during the day. Sometimes he has to change the production time to night in order to catch up with the project schedule. He is afraid that people from the environmental protection department will come to check and he will be fined if he is not careful. It even requires moving factories, which consumes a lot of energy. Therefore, printing companies are in urgent need of a new type of environmentally friendly printing equipment to upgrade their industries. This has to mention UV printers. Can it replace traditional crafts?

Will UV printers pollute the environment during production?

We can briefly analyze the impact of UV printers on the environment from the following aspects.

First, the smell of a UV printer is very small when it is working. The UV printer uses a nozzle to spray uv ink on the surface of the substrate. The uv ink does not contain volatile organic compounds. It can pass the national environmental protection test and has less pollution than traditional printing dyes. UV ink manufacturers have to pass MSDS certification, if there is a need for friends, you can ask the company to provide environmental monitoring reports. In actual production, you can still smell a little ink odor when you get close to the UV printer. This is the ink in the nozzle that has not been dried by the UV lamp. If the operator feels uncomfortable, he needs to wear a mask. The scent of the ink can only be smelled when the printed pattern is placed on the nose. These odors will gradually dissipate within 24 hours and will not pollute the environment. In order to avoid unpredictable situations, pregnant women are advised not to operate UV printers.

Second, there is no sewage discharge when the UV printer is working. The piezoelectric inkjet printing system of the UV printer can ensure on-demand printing. There is no problem in printing a sample or batch printing, and it will not produce a lot of waste ink, only during the printing process. In order to protect the nozzle to discharge a little ink when the ink is pressed, there is generally no 1L of waste ink in a month of normal production. The ink itself meets environmental protection requirements and will not affect the environment. It is not like a silk screen process. A large amount of waste materials and waste liquids are discharged and contain chemical components harmful to the human body.

Third, the sound of UV printers is very small during production. UV printers generally use imported silent guide rails and sliders. During the printing process of UV printers, the noise is generally less than 60 decibels. Noisy sounds can hardly be heard across the wall. It can satisfy civilian use. The decibel requirements for noise in residential buildings can also meet the decibel requirements for noise in industrial production. Operators do not have to worry about high decibel noise when operating machines normally.

Fourth, the problem of light exposure. When a UV printer prints, the ink must be dried by a led curing lamp. It is an ultraviolet light source. If you stare at the ultraviolet light source for a long time, it will cause eye discomfort and dryness. Therefore, when the UV printer is designed, the position of the LED curing lamp is very low, and a semi-closed design is adopted to avoid light exposure to the glasses. If the height of the printed product is a bit large, the operator can wear protective glasses. However, in actual production, because the UV printer is automatically printing, the operator does not need to stare at the machine for a long time, it is difficult to say how much impact on human eyes.

Fifth, there is no waste produced during the production of UV printers. Experienced operators with a stable UV printer can ensure that the rejection rate is reduced to zero. We all know that in the screen printing process, color registration is a very troublesome thing, it is easy to produce color difference or the material is scrapped due to multi-color registration. This will not happen on UV printers. UV printers are controlled by a computer in the same batch. There is no color difference in printing, and there is no problem of color registration. It can print colorful patterns and can make embossing, varnish and other processes, which is becoming more and more popular in industrial printing. Summing up so much, we can know that UV printers can fully meet the national environmental protection requirements, and they are also machines that need to be used when the country vigorously advocates industrial upgrading. It is precisely because these core aspects of pollution assessment meet the current needs of environmental printing, UV printer equipment In recent years, it has been favored and supported by many printing companies. If you have a friend who is looking for a breakthrough in the field of traditional crafts or is troubled by environmental pollution, you might as well learn about UV printers and their craftsmanship.

For the UV printer industry, this reality does not have a great impact on us. First of all, UV printers will not produce any waste gas or waste water. Our consumables are UV inks, which are dry and odorless. Ink; Secondly, the operation and running sound of the UV printer is very small. The machine adopts imported guide rails and sliders, and there is almost no noisy sound across the wall. Furthermore, the UV printer is a new type of printing machine, which is essentially the same as the previous screen printing. Difference, so customers can rest assured.
