UV Cooling Systems
All UV systems produce excess heat which must be efficiently removed to ensure uniform, stable & long-term output of the ultraviolet radiation. GEW utilises air, water and/or nitrogen cooling across the wide variety of products produced. All cooling systems are rigorously designed and tested internally by GEW to ensure perfect compatibility with your UV system.
Air cooling systems typically consist of a central fan connected to a rigid steel ducting manifold which runs the length of the press. Outlets at regular spacing are connected to the lamps via flexible ducting and an automatic damper valve controls the volume of air passing through the lamphead ensuring it remains at constant temperature. The central fan is ducted to atmosphere outside the factory.

UV Lab Units
GEW designs and manufactures UV laboratory equipment, or UV lab units, for use in research & development and press room facilities. LED and mercury arc lamp variants are available immediately from stock while custom laboratory units can be manufactured to meet a wide range of requirements using any combination of GEW’s production UV systems.
LeoLED2
LeoLED2 takes LED performance to new heights over GEW’s already highly-acclaimed, water-cooled LeoLED system. Offering a 55% increase in electrical power (140W / cm), a 50% increase in UV dose (300mJ / cm²) and a 45% increase in UV irradiance (44W / cm²) compared to its predecessor, LeoLED2 is GEW’s next generation UV LED curing system that guarantees the best performance on the market for the most challenging curing applications.
As with the generation 1 model, LeoLED2 is available in both a cassette version and a compact version, depending on the requirements of the customer, their equipment and their application. Both models are designed to interchange with every current arc lamp model in GEW’s range. This patented ArcLED technology gives ultimate flexibility on press, no matter the application.
Like all our UV products, LeoLED2 is powered by GEW’s RHINO power supply for ultimate reliability and controlled by RHINO Control which comes as standard with IoT remote monitoring. This allows our customers the flexibility to go ArcLED without having to invest in a whole new, independent system. For customers with a GEW arc system installed, an upgrade can be as simple as adding a chiller, a UV LED lamphead, and running an upgrade.
LeoLED2 also comes in two power level options, offering ultimate customisability to customers, depending on their application and energy saving needs, whilst providing faster printing speeds alongside GEW’s renowned process reliability.
UV Power Systems
GEW UV arc and LED systems are powered by the proprietary RHINO and RLT power supplies. Available in a range of sizes up to 27kW, they are custom designed and manufactured by GEW, exclusively to power our UV systems. They meet the highest international safety standards (including ETL listing for all RHINO units), are monitored over the internet 24/7 and can be purchased with up to a 5-year warranty − unparalleled in the industry.
Every power supply is equipped with GEW’s ArcLED technology, enabling both UV arc and LED to be powered interchangeably by the same unit. Every RHINO & RLT system in the field is ready to run LED − only the LED lamp and chiller are required to make this change.
