From EUR 15,000 excl. VAT

This used UV Drying Tunnel is perfect for accelerating the curing process of wood coatings such as oils and lacquers designed for UV light. It offers reliable performance and helps reduce production time while ensuring a high quality, durable finish.

UV light activates photo initiators in the coating, allowing it to cure within seconds. Depending on your application, this tunnel can be configured with one or more UV lamps to match production speed, coating thickness, and whether the product is transparent or pigmented.

The machine comes with a heat and UV resistant mesh belt. The UV lamps are adjustable in height and intensity (50 to 100 percent), and angled lamp setups are possible for curing coated sides of panels, tabletops and similar products.

This UV Drying Tunnel is fully inspected and ready for use.

Key Benefits

This used UV3-400 drying tunnel cures UV-formulated oils and lacquers in seconds at 400 mm lamp width, fully inspected and ready for use.

  • Fully Inspected Occasion Tunnel: The tunnel has been fully inspected and is ready for use, delivering proven UV curing capacity without the lead time of a new machine.
  • Cures Coatings in Seconds: UV light activates the photo-initiators in the coating, so curing completes within seconds and drying time stops limiting production speed.
  • Adjustable Lamps, 50 to 100 Percent: The UV lamps adjust in height and intensity from 50 to 100 percent, at 80 to 120 W/cm, matching the UV dose to coating thickness and feed speed.
  • Transparent and Pigmented Coatings Covered: Lamp types at 360 nm (mercury) and 420 nm (gallium) cover transparent as well as pigmented coatings, and angled setups can cure coated panel sides.
  • 400 mm Floorboard Format: The 400 mm working width fits floorboard and narrow-panel lines, with conveyor speeds adjustable from 8 to 24 m/min on a heat and UV-resistant mesh belt.

What You Make With It

UV-Cured Floorboard Finishes

Flooring producers cure UV oils and lacquers on boards within seconds at the 400 mm working width, taking finished product off the line immediately instead of racking it to dry.

Compact Curing Behind a Coater

Workshops with a 400 mm roller coater place this tunnel directly behind it, turning a coat-and-wait process into one continuous coat-and-cure line with a used machine that is inspected and ready to run.
