The use of Electron Beam Accelerators

The use of Electron Beam Accelerators is a well-known and proven production technology, which

has been used for more than 30 years. The electron beam accelerators are used in several new

applications that put higher demands on the equipment. To meet the upcoming requirements

compacter design have been developed to optimize performance and reduce running costs. While

the basic of the technology remain in general, differ designs offer different advantages for specific

applications.

The market is driving the equipment supplier to adapt and develop new types of Electron-Beam

Accelerators to meet new demands like:

- Faster running equipment

- Smaller size

- Full control of curing parameters

- Traceability of process parameters

- Minimizing downtime

- Lower cost of ownership

This has to be done together with the user, the chemical supplier and the plant manufacturer to

adapt the accelerator fully – not only during the planning phase but also during the design of the

curing line and later during initial operation.
