Jenton has been active in the supply of UV curing equipment since the 1970s, mostly into the industrial markets in the UK (optical fibres and medical in particular).
At Jenton we offer equipment from the market leaders. We are UK and Ireland distributors for EIT (USA) radiometers and UV measurement devices and for Excelitas (Canada) UV spotcure, UV LED and optical systems and, in both cases, we have been partners for 30 years. We are distributors for EMI Inc (USA) optical and medical adhesives. We are also proud to work with Phoseon UV LED systems and Signify, and supply their UV low pressure light sources.
In addition we design and make our own UV Curing systems using ‘conventional’ lamps, from 1200w 70mm systems to 6kw 350mm lamp length systems and above. We make power supplies for UV LED systems and we design and make UV curing conveyors, UV ovens, UV lightshields and all manner of custom jigs, fittings and production items. With many years of production we often find that customers can benefit from products that have already been designed and used before in similar applications. In our Whitchurch factory we maintain test units so customers can test and optimise processes before committing to a particular specification.
Jenton UV have supplied a wide range of UV curing systems since the 1970s including: Arc, LED and microwave UV curing systems, custom engineering, conveyors, radiometers, control systems and adhesives.
‘UV curing’ relates to the process where energy absorbed from UV light at specific wavelengths energises a catalytic polymerisation reaction that, simplistically, turns a liquid plastic into a solid one. UV materials companies mix specific monomers, oligomers and photoinitiators appropriate to application for the created polymer.
For over 50 years the Jenton name has signalled innovative automation equipment for food, medical, print and packaging industries. We manufacture over half of the products we sell and specialise in custom engineered solutions.
