GEW UV ozone-free curing lamp (Part No. 14205, OEM reference KU10008) designed as a direct replacement for the Metronic Inprint 310 blister printer — an industrial machine used to print lot numbers, expiration dates, and other variable data onto pharmaceutical blister pack foil. Batch code B240820 indicates August 2024 manufacture. This lamp was never removed from its original factory packaging and appears to be unused old stock.
Note: Verify lamp dimensions and electrical specifications against Metronic Inprint 310 service documentation before purchasing. Not tested or powered since removal from inventory.
185nm Blocking Quartz Envelope: The ozone-free designation indicates the lamp's quartz envelope is formulated to block the 185nm wavelength responsible for ozone generation during UV curing. Suitable for use in enclosed or poorly-ventilated blister printing equipment without supplemental ozone exhaust. The red inner envelope is characteristic of GEW's iron-doped UV lamp construction.
