Cefla Finishing To Debut Industrial Coating Equipment With LED Curing From Phoseon Technology At Xylexpo

Visit the Cefla Booth to See LED Curing for Wood Coatings

Hillsboro, OR (Marketwired) - Cefla Finishing will showcase Industrial coating equipment with LED curing from Phoseon Technology under the name UV-R LED at the upcoming Xylexpo. LED curing technology is a sustainable wood finishing technique which uses up to thirty percent less electricity than competing curing methods. It has many advantages, in particular for resinous wood (like pine) that is extremely temperature-sensitive. Because LED is a cool and efficient technology, it drastically reduces energy consumption and significantly reduces work-piece surface temperature.

With UV LED, coating machines can be made more compact due to the small form factor and also because the number of lamps required can be reduced by up to fifty percent. Speed can be increased due to consistent UV output.

Phoseon Technology has a variety of LED curing solutions ideal for wood coating that can scale to cover any conveyor width, and the consistent UV output enables end users to run their production lines at maximum speeds. Phoseon's patented SLM™ technology provides intense UV output, while using a fraction of the power required with traditional methods.

Cefla Finishing has already fitted over 10 flat panel and edge coating lines with the LED technology from Phoseon fully integrated and sold under the name UV-R LED.

Xylexpo is the 25th Biennial world exhibition for woodworking technology and components for the furniture industry, taking place in Milan, Italy 24-28 May.
