A Phoseon customer in Italy experienced more than 70% energy savings by upgrading from traditional mercury UV to Nexus ONE™ UV LED curing systems. According to the customer, an 8-color UV flexographic press (430mm wide) that works on 2 shifts and consumes an average of 198,000kWh per year with traditional mercury UV. Under the same conditions, consumption with Phoseon UV LED is 58,000kWh.
The annual saving for a single machine is therefore 140,000kWh x € 0.20 (average energy price per kWh in Italy) = € 28,000, to which are added to approximately € 10,000 of spare parts/ consumables for a total saving of approximately € 38,000 per year.
All this translates into an ROI of less than 2 years for the single machine, without considering a potential increase in productivity of 15-20%. Phoseon Nexus ONE™ offers a 5-year warranty for the entire system. Learn More Here.
