Applications for e-beams
The strong performance characteristics of COMET’s e-beam emitter and its ability to be integrated into production processes creates numerous application opportunities:
Key applications |
|
 |
Food Packaging Sterilization: Packaging material for food can be sterilized by means of electron beam treatment. It replaces chemistry-based processes. |
 |
Pharma Packaging Sterilization: An example is the sterilization of containers of pre-filled syringes (TUBs) in the area of pharma packaging. Electron beam irradiation ensures that the filling area does not get contaminated when TUBs are introduced. |
Further potential applications |
|
 |
Curing: Electron beam treatment of inks or coatings results in instantaneous curing (cross-linking of polymer chains) without the need for photo initiators. This can be particularly useful when printing food packaging material. |
 |
Pollution Control: Electrons can be used to destroy noxious gases, such as volatile organic compounds. |
 |
Seed Treatment: Electron beam treatment of seeds removes all germs thereby providing an alternative to today’s treatment with chemicals. |
