Abstract
An apparatus for continuously curing can bodies coated with a photopolymerizable ink. The can bodies are placed onto spindles. The spindles are mounted onto a conveyor chain and pass the can bodies through a first U.V. lamp chamber. The U.V. lamp chamber is oriented to cure first opposed sides of the can bodies. Then the can bodies are carried on the conveyor chain in a different direction, so that as the can bodies pass through the second U.V. lamp chamber second opposed sides of the can bodies are cured. The first and second opposed can body sides are at right angles to each other. After the can body has passed through the first and second U.V. lamp chambers the entire can body exterior has been cured.
