How much light per inch does a UV lamp give off?
There is a difference between 0perating power—expressed in watts per inch—and UV energy delivered to the substrate—integrated energy and peak irradiance. Although operating power (watts per inch) and UV energy delivered to the substrate are relational, all systems do not operate at equivalent efficiencies and do not provide equivalent UV energy to the substrate for equivalent input power. Because of the technically effective lamp design, an Aetek 400 W/in UltraPak can actually deliver greater UV energy to the substrate than other 600 W/in systems. Watts per inch is operating power. The Aetek UltraPak system’s operating power is a maximum of 400 W/in (per lamp). The system has three power levels – 200 W, 300 W and 400 W—and the power level used is determined by the speed of the web (i.e., power levels change as web speed increases). UV energy delivered to the substrate is a function of optics, lamp housing and bulb dimension. The Aetek UltraPak System delivers superior UV energy to the
