H.R.G. Reduces Energy Use by 60% with UV LED Upgrade

H.R.G. were the first company in the Czech Republic to install a Komori Lithrone GL840P H-UV, although the system has had GEW’s LeoLED running on it since 2024, following a retrofit to the press. Since making this switch, the company has enjoyed numerous benefits, as their CEO, Leoš Tupec, highlights:

“There have been several benefits when compared to the system we were using before the GEW LeoLED UV curing system was installed.”

“We have seen at least a 60% reduction in electrical energy consumption, and our carbon footprint has also been very significantly reduced.”

“We no longer need to change the lamphead bulbs on regular basis, which in turn is another significant cost saving.”

“On the press we no longer need to wait for the lamps to warm up and cool down, which has led to an increase in our productive time… I can keep going… but the LeoLED system is just so much easier to live with.”
