System AeroLED®
GEW’s AeroLED is a fully air-cooled, high power UV LED for full cure, printing, coating and converting applications less than 600mm wide. Our unique air-cooling concept uses a single, remote fan to cool the LED lamp with clean, filtered air eliminating the need for delicate electronics and high pitched, noisy fans inside each unit. No water cooling also reduces cost & complexity while increasing reliability.
AeroLED’s efficient optical design enables the lowest energy usage of all our products. This typically delivers energy savings of 50-70% and investment returns on new machinery of less than one year – ask us for your customised ROI.
AeroLED will step change your process control by ensuring stable UV output year after year. Eliminate the uncertainty of UV lamps, reflectors and mechanisms to ensure consistent quality of output from your press. Moreover, AeroLED utilises the same core components as GEW’s long proven LeoLED (>2000 units installed), so reliability from day one is guaranteed.
Like all our UV products, AeroLED uses GEW’s RHINO power supply & control range for ultimate reliability with Industry 4.0 approved, IoT remote monitoring as standard. It also has GEW’s familiar “E2C” cassette design so, upgrading an E2C-RHINO system only requires the AeroLED lampheads and a filter unit. This makes AeroLED the most affordable route to LED printing available worldwide.
Why you should try System AeroLED® System?
- Fully air-cooled– a single remote fan brings clean, filtered air to the lampheads and eliminates need for delicate electronics and high pitched, noisy fans in each unit. No water cooling reduces cost and complexity while increasing reliability
- Fast curing– AeroLED’s 20W/cm2 array gives industry leading performance for all narrow web machines
- Step change process reliability– stable output year after year eliminates uncertainty from UV lamp systems and ensures consistent quality of output from your press
- Same core componentsas long proven LeoLED guarantees reliability from day 1
- Cut your energy costs by 50-70%, with ROIs on new machinery less than 1 year
- Free up mains capacitywith electrical requirements over 50% less than arc – 2 AeroLED systems require the same power as 1 E2C system!

ArcLED Hybrid LED+UV
ArcLED – You need it, we’ve got it
ArcLED hybrid UV technology Allowi interchanging of a UV Arc lamp or LED array in the same housing.
ArcLED cassettes can quickly and easily be interchanged; only a hex key tool is required.
Optimise your press with a mixture of Arc and LED curing on any station, for the ultimate flexibility.
RHINO Power supply
Fail-safe operation
Military-grade design protects the UV system from damage caused by incorrect voltage, short-to-ground, dropped phases, mains spikes and lightning strikes. In the event of a serious mains disruption, the system powers down in a safe mode. RHINO is designed to run in the harshest conditions and at ambient temperatures of up to 40°C. The system is unaffected by dust, ink mist and other contaminants.
Lowest operating costs
With intelligent power management the current draw is balanced and harmonic distortion is minimised, reducing energy demand.
Minimal footprint RHINO Rack
A compact cabinet houses power supplies for up to 6 lamps and provides perfect cooling, atmospheric protection and mains power distribution.
5-year warranty available
Using GEW’s embedded service package gives total confidence in the reliability of GEW power electronics and minimises unplanned maintenance costs. GEW is the only UV supplier to offer this level of warranty.

System performance reports
Regular reports are generated, detailing energy usage, uptime percentage and system performance. The Event Log continually records system use and operating parameters, ensuring the system is working at peak efficiency at all times.
Energy performance measurement
The RHINO control automatically logs energy use and displays it on screen at the touch of a button, showing kWh consumption in operation, at idle and % production uptime.
