The air-cooled MBS®c is based on a modular system and can be used variably. With a high output of 200 W/cm, the compact and powerful UV unit can be used wherever users place high demands on curing.
The MBS®c has specially doped lamps whose ballasts are precisely matched to them. The URS® swivel reflectors used consist of so-called cold light mirrors with more than 60 different metal oxide layers. The particularly resistant reflectors are characterized by very long service lives and optimum heat management. URS® technology has a significantly higher reflectance than conventional reflectors.
Smart and simple
Like all new curing units from IST METZ, the modular MBS®c is equipped with the Smart Control system user interface. This makes system operation clear, easy to use and enables uncomplicated integration into the control system of all common types of printing presses.
The inner housing of the MBS®c with lamp, reflector and swivel drive can simply be inserted into the outer housing. All supply connections are automatically pluggable. The exhaust air volume and the air flow for cooling the unit have also been optimised to reduce soiling of the lamp and reflector. Machine downtimes can thus be reduced to a minimum.

With the BLK® product range, which was developed for the highest industrial requirements, there is an extraordinary increase in drying performance compared to conventional systems without increasing the lamp power. This means more productivity at reduced operating costs. Due to the compact design, the UV system can be individually integrated into the press and the dryers are easily accessible for maintenance purposes. The space requirement is significantly lower compared to thermal drying.
UV lamps are also used in excimer technology, which has recently been successfully tested in metal decorating. An excimer lamp refers to a source of ultraviolet light that has extremely high-energy emission at a wavelength of 172nm. The result of curing with excimer lamps is super-matt surfaces, which meet the highest standards through subsequent final curing with LED, UV or EB (Electron-beam).

Mixed operation and technology change possible
The air-cooled MBS®c is based on a modular system and can be used variably. In addition, the system is designed for mixed operation with LED-UV and prepared for a possible technology changeover to LED-UV. This means that the two different curing technologies can be easily combined on one machine. With a high output of 200 W/cm, the compact and powerful UV unit is used wherever users place high demands on the curing of cups and tubes.

Excimer technology available as an option in metal decorating
UV lamps are also used in excimer technology, which has recently been successfully tested in metal decorating. An excimer lamp refers to a source of ultraviolet light that has extremely high-energy emission at a wavelength of 172nm. The result of curing with excimer lamps is super-matt surfaces, which meet the highest standards through subsequent final curing with LED, UV or EB (Electron-beam).
LEDcure- modular, compact, powerful
A clever modular basic concept combined with a robust and compact design gives users in metal decorating maximum flexibility and versatility. The system is freely scalable in length and can be adapted to all machine formats and installation situations. This makes it possible to use one LEDcure unit at different positions on a machine. Thanks to XT8 booster technology, the LEDcure has up to 30% more power than other LED systems available on the market. Other highlights of the new LEDcure include the simple replacement of the optics and the possibility of upgrading the LED chips at a later date.
IST METZ GmbH & Co. KG is an internationally active medium-sized mechanical engineering company with headquarters in Nürtingen, in Southern Germany, and more than 550 employees worldwide. For more than 40 years the company has been producing equipment for curing print and coating by means of UV light. The UV systems cure inks, varnishes, silicones, adhesives, resins and other materials in fractions of a second. The IST Metz group of companies offers its customers the world’s largest product portfolio of high-performance UV lamp and UV LED systems. The range is complemented by warm air infrared drying systems and excimer technology.
