White goods

The application of UV technology in the manufacturing of household appliances is becoming more critical, addressing the need for durable solutions that can withstand long-term testing, minimize waste, and meet elevated quality standards. Various UV systems are employed based on the application's specific needs, with options between traditional arc lamp technology and IR-free UV LED technology depending on the adhesive or sealing compound utilized.

High-intensity UV or UV LED point source emitters can cure adhesive dots on components like assemblies, pushbuttons, motors, sensors, plugs, or trims within seconds. For broader areas, such as display screens, door handles, or operational elements, flood lamps provide uniform irradiation. The use of optimized reflector geometries or evenly spaced LED flood lamps ensures good homogeneity, promoting even, stress-free curing across large surfaces, thus satisfying the highest quality standards.

In cases where adhesive beads are applied, such as in the bonding of operating elements or cover panels, high-intensity line lamps are deployed for curing. To accommodate heat-sensitive components, conventional UV systems may incorporate IR filters and reflectors to significantly reduce thermal stress.

Overall, UV technology provides a versatile and efficient approach to bonding in the production of white goods, ensuring both quality and reliability.
