UV LED Curing Significantly Reduces CO₂ Emissions with 60% Less Electricity for Eticod in Poland

To reduce CO₂ emissions and to make production more efficient, Eticod decided to invest in Phoseon's UV LED curing technology. At the beginning of 2021, a Bobst M5 430, 10-color flexo printing press with UV LED curing was successfully installed and put into operation. The machine now consumes approximately 60 percent less electricity, which corresponds to an annual saving of approximately 50 kWh, while eliminating 200 tons of CO₂.
