Electron Beam Sterilization Equipment

Electron beam processing can be used to modify.

Electron beam sterilization equipment.

High speed high capacity accelerators. Let wasik associates inc help you with your electron beam processing needs by designing a custom crosslinking system today to meet your specific requirements. Electron beam processing is the method for producing chemical and physical changes in various substances by exposure to ionizing radiation in the form of energetic electrons. Electron beam e beam irradiation is a form of ionizing energy that is characterized by its low penetration and high dosage rates.

When evaluating e beam irradiation for the purpose of sterilization product density size orientation and packaging must be considered. At esi we are not just providing electron beam equipment we are delivering a total solution to our clients. There are two basic system approaches used to sterilize medical devices with electron beam technology. In fact the high speed delivery of the sterilization dose from e beams produces less heat in the product and has less effect on material properties than gamma irradiation.

Esi is the founder and world leader in low voltage electron beam eb technology. Electron beam processing systems are currently utilized in various industrial applications for crosslinking compounds polymerization sterilization and vulcanization. The beam a concentrated highly charged stream of electrons is generated by accelerators capable of producing continuous or pulsed beams. For the sterilization of healthcare products high energy electron beams are typically required to achieve penetration of the product and packaging.

Medical device manufacturing sterilization e beams are compatible with most materials used in disposable medical devices. Pulsed electron beam sterilization processing offers many advantages. Eliminates post sterilization testing and expedites distribution logistics. Based on this principle ithpp has developed pulsed electron beam sterilization equipment which achieve very high power electron beams at very high dose rates which can reach several hundred of kgy per second.

Sterilizes low density uniformly packaged products quickly and effectively. Result of e beam s shorter exposure time. Electron beam irradiation is a flexible and high speed process that can be used for a variety of applications including. Electrons are particles possessing a negative electric charge which is an integral part of every neutral atom.

As the product material being sterilized passes the e beam energy from the electrons is absorbed altering various chemical bonds damaging the dna and destroying the reproductive capabilities of the microorganisms. An in line system is one in which the electron beam irradiation equipment is integrated directly into the production process.
