Custom UV, UV LED & IR Conveyor System
Custom curing and drying conveyors engineered around your chemistry, product geometry, line speed, and production requirements.
Prime designs industrial conveyor systems that can integrate UV arc lamps, UV LED systems, infrared drying, or a combination of technologies. Conveyor width, belt configuration, curing or drying source, power control, shielding, product hold-down, and speed tracking can all be configured around the application.

A Conveyor Built Around the Process
Some curing and drying applications do not fit a standard conveyor.
Prime customizes the conveyor system around the production process, including:
product dimensions
chemistry
curing or drying technology
conveyor width
line speed
product height
belt configuration
power requirements
controls integration
cooling and heat-management requirements
This allows the transport system and curing or drying technology to function as one engineered solution rather than separate pieces of equipment.
Key Outcomes
Integrate UV lamp, UV LED, IR drying, or hybrid technology.
Configure conveyor widths from approximately 6 to 72 inches.
Match power output to line speed.
Accommodate products up to 2 inches high.
Choose single- or dual-belt conveyor layouts.
Add single- or multi-lamp UV configurations.
Incorporate automatic belt tracking.
Add speed-following controls.
Measure UV dose inline where required.
Support remote PLC/HMI diagnostics and software access.
Choose the Curing or Drying Technology Around the Chemistry
UV Lamp, UV LED, or Infrared
Prime’s custom conveyor platform can incorporate multiple curing and drying technologies depending on the process.
Available configurations include:
UV arc lamps
LEDMAX UV LED systems
Short-Wave IR
Near Medium-Wave IR
Medium-Wave IR
The appropriate technology should be selected around the ink, coating, adhesive, substrate, line speed, and thermal sensitivity of the product.
Configure Conveyor Width and Product Clearance
Match the Transport System to the Product
Prime’s custom conveyors are available with curing or drying widths from approximately 6 to 72 inches.
Adjustable light shielding allows products up to approximately 2 inches in height to pass through the curing or drying zone.
Depending on the application, the conveyor can also be configured with:
single belt
dual belt
automatic belt tracking
alternate drive-control arrangements
portable or stationary electrical cabinets
Match Power Output to Line Speed
Adjust Energy Delivery as Production Conditions Change
The system can be configured to adjust output around line speed.
Prime lists:
UV power from 100 W to 600 W
IR output from 0 to 2 kW per emitter
Optional speed-following controls can also be integrated to match conveyor behavior to the upstream process.
Product Hold-Down and Sheet Transfer
Stabilize Products Through the Curing or Drying Zone
A configurable product hold-down system helps maintain product position as material passes through the conveyor.
Air settings can be adjusted around the product and belt conditions to support sheet or product transfer through the curing zone.
Heat Management for Sensitive Products
Add Cooling and IR-Filtering Options Where Needed
For heat-sensitive applications, Prime can incorporate:
Positive Air Pressure
Cold Mirror Technology
Quartz IR filtration
These options can help manage thermal load around the product and curing-system components.
UV Measurement and Process Verification
Measure Dose and Spectral Output
Inline or portable radiometers can be integrated to provide:
UV dose measurement
spectral distribution data
This gives process teams a way to verify curing conditions rather than relying only on lamp power settings.
Controls and Remote Diagnostics
Integrate Conveyor and Curing Controls
Prime’s PREMIER controller can be configured around both the conveyor and curing or drying system.
Ethernet connectivity supports:
remote diagnostics
PLC software access
HMI software modification
troubleshooting and system review
This gives Prime technical personnel a remote service path when access is enabled.
Electrical Configurations
Standard electrical configuration:
480 V / 60 Hz
Optional configurations:
240 V / 60 Hz
575 V / 60 Hz
400 V / 50 Hz

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 operating life of the system.
As product formats, chemistries, production speeds, or controls change, Prime can also evaluate system modifications or component updates where practical.
