EB (Electron Beam)

Technical Data

Higher acceleration for deeper penetration

The higher the acceleration voltage becomes, the deeper EB penetrates the target object.
For printing and surface processing, use a low acceleration voltage. For modifying a thick piece of plastic film, use a high acceleration voltage.
Select the optimal acceleration voltage tailored to your specific product and process requirements.

Penetration depth of EB

*The penetration depth changes depending on the target object and how the unit is set. The graph shows typical examples.

Change the absorbed dose depending on the situation.

It is necessary to change the absorbed dose depending on the use and the product. kGy is the unit for absorbed dose.
kGy is a unit called an absorbed dose. 1 kGy means 1 Joule of energy absorbed into 1 kg of irradiated material.
The unit formerly used is Mrad and 1 Mrad equals 10 kGy.

Regulatory Compliance and Safety

Regulatory Requirements and Safety Management

Our electron beam (EB) systems incorporate a self-shielded design that safely contains both electron beam radiation and any secondary X-rays generated during operation. Under normal operating conditions, the equipment can typically be installed in standard industrial or laboratory environments without the need for additional shielding structures or restricted access zones outside the equipment. Customers are responsible for ensuring compliance with all applicable national, regional, and local regulations governing the installation and operation of radiation-generating equipment. Depending on the jurisdiction, notifications, permits, registrations, inspections, or approvals may be required prior to installation or operation. Regulatory requirements vary by country and region. Users should consult the relevant authorities or qualified regulatory professionals to determine any obligations applicable to their specific installation. The requirement for radiation safety officers, radiation protection programs, licensing, or other regulatory controls depends on local laws and regulations. Users are responsible for verifying and fulfilling any such requirements where applicable. Although the system is designed to operate safely with integrated shielding, we recommend implementing appropriate safety management practices, including:

• Personnel radiation monitoring where required or appropriate
• Occupational health and safety management programs
• Periodic radiation surveys and equipment inspections
• Routine maintenance and verification of shielding performance
• Operator training and safety awareness programs

Electron beam irradiation does not make the EB system or processed products radioactive. The electron beam and any associated X-rays are generated only while the system is energized and cease immediately when the power is turned off, providing a high level of operational safety.
