With the new FREEcure, IST METZ presents a pioneering, water-cooled UV curing technology that sets new standards in efficiency, sustainability and product safety. Thanks to an exceptionally high UVC component, FREEcure enables the polymerisation of inks and coatings with no or greatly reduced photoinitiators. The result is particularly low-migration printing results – a decisive advantage for sensitive applications such as food packaging.
FREEcure also impresses with its high energy efficiency: the reduced lamp requirement lowers power consumption, operating costs and CO₂ emissions in equal measure. The integrated, wireless FLC lamp system allows for quick, tool-free lamp replacement and minimises downtime.
Thanks to its compact construction, high power density and user-friendly design, FREEcure can be flexibly integrated into existing production lines. Users benefit from higher production speeds, maximum process reliability and a clear advantage in terms of sustainability.
With FREEcure, IST METZ offers an innovative response to increasing regulatory requirements and the desire for environmentally friendly, economical production processes – ideal for packaging printing, the coating industry and numerous industrial applications.
IST METZ is the technology leader for industrial UV curing systems in sheet metal printing and coating. Our UV and LED UV systems are optimally tailored to the high demands of metal packaging such as cans, closures, lids and decorative sheet metal applications.
The immediate curing of inks and coatings enables maximum production speeds, maximum process reliability and direct further processing without drying times. Thanks to precise power control, homogeneous radiation distribution and low thermal stress, consistently high print and coating qualities are achieved on steel and aluminium substrates.
Our systems are space-saving, energy-efficient and can be flexibly integrated into existing production lines — for sheet-fed, coil and body printing. LED UV technology further reduces energy consumption, maintenance costs and CO₂ emissions.
In addition to system technology, IST METZ offers comprehensive service, retrofit and testing options for long-term stable and future-proof production.
IST METZ stands for efficient UV curing, the highest quality and sustainable solutions in sheet metal printing.
