Baldwin Showcases Ultra Wide LED-UV System At Corrugated Week Giant-width solutions that deliver proportionately big ad- vantages were among the innovations highlighted by Baldwin Technology at Corrugated Week 2022. “We continue to see a strong market, with ongoing un- derlying challenges that are a concern for many of our cus- tomers, including global supply chain uncertainty, inflation, increasing energy costs and labor constraints,” said Bald- win Vice President of Sales Craig Black. “As Baldwin con- tinues to expand in the corrugated space, we were really excited to have a strong team at Corrugated Week, where our goal was to help attendees learn more about how we can help to alleviate many of these challenges while in- creasing profitability through our wide range of solutions. Baldwin featured its newly launched XP Max LED Sys- tem, designed to cure especially wide substrates moving past it on a printing press, corrugated rotary die cutter, or manufacturing conveyor belt. Instead of one long LED ar- ray, XP Max uses numerous 20-inch (508mm) modules. These LED modules are set at an angle to allow for overlap of the LED emitting areas, forming a continuous UV curing array that spans any press or conveyor width needed. The LED-UV modules within the XP Max system can significantly reduce energy and downtime costs while im- proving operational safety. LED-UV technology cures ink instantly with no drying time, using much less energy than both IR and arc UV. The modules can be turned on and off to cover only part of the conveyor, saving energy use when curing smaller stock widths. This arrangement also enables individual maintenance, allowing the removal of a single module without shutting down the full system for repairs. Lastly, the LED window temperatures are much cooler than both IR and arc UV, resulting in a much low- er chance of fire when the corrugated substrate falls onto lamp heads. Baldwin also showcased its new Ultra Wide FlexoClea- nerBrush – a fully automated flexo plate-cleaning system that can be up to 126-inches (3.2 meters) wide. As Bald- win’s flagship solution to enhance print quality and im- prove worker safety in corrugated printing, the system automatically removes dust and contamination from the plate in seconds during production, without stopping the CONTINUED ON PAGE 32
