HIGH SPEED UV WINDOW PATCHING CONVEYOR
Inline UV curing engineered for folding-carton window-patching production.
Prime’s High Speed UV Window Patching Conveyor is custom designed to install inline with window applicating equipment used in folding-carton production. Conveyor configuration, UV source, product hold-down, belt design, shielding, controls, and speed tracking can be engineered around the applicator and production process.

UV Curing for Window-Patching Lines
Window-patching applications require more than a standalone UV lamp.
The curing system must move cartons reliably through the UV zone, maintain product position, match applicator speed, and deliver the UV energy required by the adhesive or coating chemistry.
Prime’s conveyor system is designed to install inline after the pattern gluer and can be configured around:
window applicator type
carton size
conveyor width
process speed
UV chemistry
product height
belt configuration
cooling requirements
controls integration
The system is compatible with a range of window applicating machines, including Heiber+Schroder, Gladiator, Kohmann, and other equipment.
Key Outcomes
Integrate UV curing directly into the window-patching line.
Match conveyor speed to the applicator.
Stabilize cartons through the curing zone.
Configure UV lamp or UV LED technology around the chemistry.
Accommodate products up to 2 inches in height.
Select single- or multi-lamp configurations.
Choose single- or dual-belt conveyor layouts.
Support remote diagnostics and PLC/HMI software access.
Add inline UV measurement where required.
Application-Engineered Conveyor Integration
A window-patching conveyor should be designed around the complete production line.
Prime evaluates:
applicator make and model
carton dimensions
window material
adhesive or coating chemistry
production speed
conveyor length and width
product height
belt tracking requirements
UV source
cooling requirements
electrical requirements
controls architecture
before defining the conveyor configuration.
That application review informs UV source selection, reflector design, belt layout, hold-down requirements, shielding, drive controls, and process-speed synchronization.
UV Lamp or UV LED Configuration
Select the Curing Technology Around the Chemistry
Prime’s window-patching conveyor can be configured with either:
UV lamp systems
UV LED systems
Available curing widths range from approximately 6 to 72 inches, depending on configuration.
For arc-lamp systems, Prime also lists metal-halide bulb options including:
B
C
H+
V
The appropriate UV source should be selected around adhesive chemistry, cure response, substrate, available footprint, and production speed.
Product Hold-Down Through the UV Zone
Maintain Carton Stability During Curing
The conveyor incorporates a product hold-down system designed to help stabilize cartons as they pass through the UV chamber.
Air adjustment can be configured around the product and conveyor conditions to support consistent sheet transfer through the curing zone.
Speed Tracking and UV Power Control
Coordinate Conveyor Speed and UV Output
An optional speed-following system can be integrated so conveyor operation and UV output respond to the production line.
Prime’s current configuration supports:
process-speed tracking
speed offset
automatic UV power stepping
drive-control selection based on maximum conveyor speed
This allows the curing system to respond to changing line conditions instead of operating independently from the applicator.
Positive Air Pressure and Thermal Management
Help Manage Heat Around Sensitive Window Materials
Prime’s Positive Air Pressure System can be incorporated to help manage temperature around system components and heat-sensitive window materials. (Prime UV/IR)
Cold-mirror technology with a quartz IR filter is also available for applications where heat management is an important design consideration.
Conveyor Belt and Product Clearance
Configure the Transport System Around the Carton
The standard system uses a Teflon-coated, UV-resistant fiberglass conveyor belt.
Adjustable light shielding allows products up to approximately 2 inches in height to pass through the curing area.
Depending on the application, Prime can also configure:
single-belt conveyor systems
dual-belt conveyor systems
automatic belt tracking
alternate drive-control arrangements
UV Measurement and Process Verification
Measure UV Dose Where the Process Requires It
Optional inline or portable radiometers can be incorporated into the system to measure:
UV dose
spectral distribution
This gives production and process teams a way to verify UV conditions rather than relying only on power settings.
Controls and Remote Support
Integrate Conveyor and UV Controls With the Line
Prime’s PREMIER control platform supports UV-system operation and conveyor control.
Ethernet connectivity can provide:
remote diagnostics
PLC software access
HMI software modification
system review and troubleshooting
This gives Prime technical personnel a remote path to assist with controls-related issues when access is enabled.
Electrical Configurations
Recommended Copy
The standard electrical configuration is:
480 V / 60 Hz
Optional configurations include:
240 V / 60 Hz
575 V / 60 Hz
400 V / 50 Hz
Where the Window Patching Conveyor Fits
Applications
-
Inline UV curing following the pattern-gluing and window-applicating process.
-
Suitable for folding-carton packaging production where UV-curable adhesive or coating must be cured before downstream handling.
-
Can be integrated into converting lines where product transport, UV curing, and speed synchronization must function as one system.
-
Applicable to compatible sheetfed finishing workflows where window patching occurs downstream of printing.
-
Can also be configured for related UV-curing conveyor applications where similar transport and cure requirements exist.

Support Beyond Installation
Support for the Life of the Conveyor System
Prime’s involvement continues after installation and startup.
Customers have access to technical support, remote diagnostics, PLC and HMI assistance, OEM replacement components, and controls expertise throughout the life of the system.
As production speeds, carton formats, adhesives, or controls change, Prime can also evaluate system updates or component changes where practical.
