Our irradiator is a gamma irradiator. It is a high capacity equipment for radiation processing of various products. The Cobalt-60 source encapsulated in a stainless steel capsule is a man-made radioisotope emitting gamma rays.
The irradiation technique is a product-overlapped system operating with stainless steel tote boxes with inside dimensions of 84 x 48 x 150 cm (600 litres). The product transport system moves the tote boxes through the process. An automatic conveyor system transfers the tote boxes into the irradiation room where a source pass mechanism moves them around the Cobalt-60 source in two passes on two levels. Then the automatic conveyor system transfers the tote boxes back to the storage area for unloading.
NB! Our irradiator contains also a unique additional system for the treatment of packaging materials and other products of special shapes and measures not suiting the tote box dimensions. This enables for example treatment of large rolls of packing materials or any other similar products.
