摘要:
Method for irradiating in an irradiation chamber products being stored in the form of pallets or in the form of bulk material in appropriate containers by means of a high energy X-ray beam source, comprising the following steps: - placing and arranging the products onto two different levels of products, so that a first set of products is placed on an upper level and a second set of products is placed on a lower level; - irradiating both sets of products during a first period of time; - submitting the products arranged on said two levels to a switch or transposition, so that the set of products arranged on an upper level is arranged on the lower level and vice-versa; - irradiating during a second period of time the new arrangement formed of the two transposed sets of products.
摘要:
The present invention is related to an apparatus for irradiating products conveyed on a pallet, comprising a beam source (3) for producing a radiation beam, a shielding wall (4) encompassing an irradiation chamber (2) and a revolving cylindrical door (6) having a recess (8) for holding said pallet, for bringing said pallet in and out of the irradiation chamber (2) wherein said high-energy radiation beam is directed towards a lateral side of said revolving door (6), for irradiating said pallet in said recess (8), or brought before said recess (8). The present invention is also related to a process wherein a product pallet is brought into an irradiation chamber (2) through a revolving cylindrical door (6) having a recess (8), and irradiated while in said recess (8) or in front of said recess (8).
