EM 260/340/410/510 Base frame BG 10 with drying box; prepared
for fitting a UV drying unit (type MD4, GEW company)

Description
The inverted drying box in base frame BG
10 (last printing position) enables an
increase in the length of the drying path of
the hot air drying unit. An increased
drying path length may be necessary when
using certain inks or varnishes to enable
these to be completely dried.

The prerequisite for application of this unit

is the use of a standard drying unit on a
base frame BG 08 (overall length 390 mm)
as downstream unit.

By extending the drying box, base frame

BG 10 can be fitted with a UV drying unit
(type MD4 of GEW company) and with a
cooling roller (water or air).

3. Operation
3.2 Setting up
The inverted drying box is fitted within
base frame BG 10 (overall lenght 610
mm). when connecting the inlet and
outlet air hoses, please observe the
following arrangement:
• The inlet air hose (hot air) must be
connected at the lower regulating flap
• The outlet air hose must be connected
at the upper regulating flap
3.2.1 Converting base frame to take a
UV drying unit
When carrying out the conversion, please
proceed as follows:
• Loosen the inlet and outlat air hoses at
drying box 12
• Loosen the four fixing screws of support
frame "drying box" 20 at the front and
rear plates. Lift drying box 12 out of
base frame BG 10 (15).
TN_ _0104/Operating instruction 09^ 10 S78-e /18.04.01Version:/
• Fit the deflection roller (122 mm
diameter) or cooling roller 2 into base
frame BG 10 (15) (see operating
instruction "Cooling roller").
• Fit UV drying unit 5 (type MD4, GEW
company) into base frame BG 10 (15)
(see operating instruction "UV drying
unit" of GEW company).
Note:
The base for the insert cassette (UV
lamp) must be fixed to the rear plate of
base frame BG 10 using four M10 bolts.
• Insert the required deflection roller into
base frame BG 10 (15).
When these steps have been completed,
the base frame is equipped for operation
with a UV drying unit.
Rebuilding the unit (base frame with drying
box) is carried out in the reverse order.

3. Operation
3.3 Inserting web

To ensure correct functioning of the drying

unit, it is essential that the run of the web
corresponds to the above sketch.

To facilitate threading the web through

drying box 12, flap 13 can be opened.
After the web has been threaded through,
flap 13 must be closed again.

The second figure shows the web run

when a UV drying unit (Type MD4, GEW
company) is used.
