The
best proof of the success of any UV curing system is how it
performs in the shop. Here are the comments of a few American
Ultraviolet Company customers who have put our systems through
their paces.
In late 1984, I needed a lab conveyorized UV unit to
perform my first independent lab-based assignment. I needed
it immediately and the unit had to run on 110 V. Back then
most lab units had 200 wpi lamps and conveyor speeds of 10
to 50 fpm. I called Meredith Stines at American Ultraviolet,
explained my requirements and he quickly put a system together
for me – with tri-power (100/200/300 wpi) lamp, focused
reflector, conveyor speed of 225 fpm, at a very reasonable
cost. Nineteen years later and after 200+ lab projects, we
still rely on this workhorse unit. With it we have been able
to correlate our cure results very well to the various UV
units that our customers use. We like it for the following
reasons: its simple design, its portability, it can be plugged
in anywhere an outlet is available, it runs relatively quietly,
and it gives very reliable cure results.
American Ultraviolet has provided excellent customer
service over the years. We’ve recommended your equipment
to several customers.

I am writing to express our satisfaction with the performance
of our Ultra-Cool Two Lamp Ultraviolet Conveyorized Curing
System manufactured by American Ultraviolet Company.
After two years of almost sixteen hours per day operation,
this unit has surpassed our expectations. This was our first
Ultra-Cool unit, and as such, we really did not know what
to expect in lamp life. Once the lamps reached around 2550
hours, they started to refuse to start. Since then we have
placed the unit on our standard UV lamp replacement schedule
of 750 hours....
This system is virtually maintenance-free while providing
the best solution for UV conveyor curing and conserving floor
place. The Ultra-Cool system is a great product and a smart
investment for any company requiring this type of equipment.
Sincerely,

You may recall sitting with me and coming up with not
1, nor 2 but 3 units that we initially purchased. These were
Super-Cool units with Dual Metal Halide lamps. Since then
we have purchased 2 additional units and are very happy with
the way they are performing. An area we are very pleased with
is the surface temperatures of our substrates. We are amazed
at how cool we have been able to keep these surfaces while
maintaining proper cure on high-speed production runs.

I work for what was a small company supplying and installing
Sunraise thermography machines. We needed a UV curing system
for some customers, but the two well-known UV manufacturing
companies we dealt with in England gave us troublesome
and unreliable equipment. We asked American Ultraviolet
for help. The equipment they sent us (which was a new specification
for them) installed easily, worked first time, never gave
any trouble and is still running on double shifts six days
a week.
That was more than eight years ago, and our company
is now part of the largest print-supply company in England.
We now
install Sunraise thermography machines all over the world
outside USA, and we’re still fitting American Ultraviolet
equipment. I have to install in territories where the electricity
supply is pretty poor, but the American Ultraviolet kit seems
to take it in its stride. It’s made my job easy – so
here’s a thank-you to the staff at American Ultraviolet
for a great piece of equipment.
