UV Curing System For Bathtub Refinishing
Jelight Company Inc. JUVC-5
In a continuing effort to research UV coatings for bathtub refinishing, I had the distinct pleasure to be invited on a grand tour of whom now I feel is a top manufacturer of UV curing systems for bathtub refinishing; Jelight Company Incorporated.
Project Manager Andrew Mackinnon was my guide and walked me through all the aspects in the manufacturing of the UV units from the making of the bulbs to the assembly of the unit and ended with a hands-on training course using the Jelight JUVC- 5 which is the most popular unit for curing UV bathtub refinishing coatings.
About the JUVC-5
Although it may look intimidating in a picture, the unit itself stands 26″x14″x8″, weighs 75lbs. but rolls on casters and has an extending handle for easy transportation. The unit is very forgiving in regards to transportation so daily loading and unloading will not be an issue. The 5″ irradiator itself is very light weight and comfortable, contains an emergency shut-off switch which will power down the whole unit, and a high-low switch for pre-curing techniques. Overall, this 1500 watt unit ROCKS and will do the job for which it was designed.
Company Presence
I was truly impressed by the fact that every aspect of the manufacturing process is done “in-house”, it was like walking into glass blowing heaven watching technicians fuse quartz together and strolling into a machinist dream with their machine shop.
Another thing that I was impressed with is the active stance that Jelight is taking to accommodate the bathtub refinishing industry by continuing its efforts to design units specifically tailored for the curing of UV coatings for bathtub refinishing.
In Conclusion
The success of bathtub refinishing using UV coatings is compounded by the use of quality equipment and I feel that Jelight Company Incorporated definitely meets this quality standard.
Special Thanks
I would like to give a special thanks to Charlie Foster for making this happen, Rich Mandich for having faith in the cause, Andrew Mackinnon for the “GRAND TOUR”, and Jelight Company Inc. for allowing me to take and use your system for my research.
