Speedy mainline and lateral liner curing available with Starlight system from S1E
The new Starlight lateral and mainline UV lining system from German manufacturer IST is now available exclusively in the UK from distributor Source One Environmental (S1E).
“This system has a real crossover from the traditional lateral UV/LED machines and the bigger mainline UV machines. It allows you to install fully structural fibreglass GRP liners from 150mm to 300mm and up to 100 metres in length, such as the Brandenburger liners which we also keep in stock,” explained S1E Sales Manager, Tom Yoxall. “On top, you’re able to UV cure laterals, allowing the contractor to attack both markets with the one system.”
“One of the key benefits of the system is also the curing speed that it offers – at the largest diameters in its range, it can cure at 0.6 metres per minute – compared with curing speeds of just 0.2 metres per minute for most competitive machines.”
Larger models from IST such as the NuVision system have been available for some time and are in use all over the world. This new, smaller-end model is available to order now and S1E delivered the first Starlight model to a customer in the UK in November 2019.
“The design of this machine covers off so many issues and concerns for installers,” stated Tom. “As well as the curing time, it offers lots of real benefits when you’re on site. It’s a flexible enough system that it can be configured to the customer’s needs, so it’s ideally suited to the contractor’s work.”
The Starlight machine is lightweight and portable, while including everything needed on site. Only a compressor is also needed on site. In addition to the fast curing time, other key benefits include:
- Ability to cure structural GRP liners
- Choice of light source cable - UV or LED of various lengths - located on easily changeable drums.
- Works with a wide range of liners and resins for the best possible combination for any job.
- Accommodates liners of up to 100 metres in length.
- Can handle bends of up to 90 degrees at all pipe sizes within its range.
- Compact design with a small footprint, offering great manoeuvrability and includes a stair climbing aid within its built-in wheels.
- Tamper-proof pressure and temperature monitoring and recording built-in
- Video recording by on-board camera built-in.
- Metre counter feature.
- Remote maintenance in real time by the IST Technical Team in Germany if any troubleshooting is needed.
- 500 hour recommended maintenance intervals - longer than competitors.
- 230V operating voltage.
“We’re proud to represent IST and the Starlight system as the quality and design features are streets ahead of other systems on the market,” commented Tom. “The support available to customers from our own team and also the IST experts will help contractors to get up and running quickly. It’s a package to take seriously for anyone in the market for new lining kit.”
