UV-C disinfection
Prevent biofilm formation and bacterial growth in dampening solution systems
UV-C Disinfection Systems
Bacterial growth, fungi and biofilm are an increasing problem in the dampening solution systems of modern printing presses. Without effective disinfection, these microorganisms can disrupt the dampening solution/ink balance, resulting in contamination, reduced print quality and increased maintenance.
The DR Graphics UV-C disinfection system continuously treats the process water with ultraviolet light, effectively eliminating bacteria and other microorganisms. The system is easily integrated as a bypass into the existing recirculation system and operates entirely without the use of chemical additives.
As a result, the dampening solution system remains clean, biofilm formation is prevented, and the operational reliability of your printing press is significantly improved.
Benefits of UV-C Disinfection
- Immediate and continuous control of bacteria and biofilm
- No chemical disinfectants required
- Prevents the formation of new biofilm
- Safe for operators, equipment and the environment
- Easy to integrate into existing dampening solution systems
- Low maintenance and operating costs
- Improves the stability of the process water
- Less contamination and reduced printing press downtime
