Designing the Perfect E-Beam System for Your Product
Once your product’s required voltage is confirmed, the next step is configuring a system that meets your unique needs. This involves finding the ideal combination of beam current and line speed to effectively treat your product while maximizing production efficiency.
Our Approach to Custom E-Beam Systems
At Wasik, we collaborate with you to design an e-beam system tailored to your specific product and processing requirements. Key considerations include:
- Product Range: Identifying the types of products and their specific e-beam treatment needs.
- Beam Placement: Ensuring your product fits optimally under the beam.
- Machine Optimization: Designing shielding and accelerator components that complement the e-beam process, maximizing floorspace efficiency and reducing costs.
- Power Configuration: Determining the ideal e-beam power range, from 300 keV to 1.5 MeV.
- Voltage: Adjusting machine voltage to achieve precise penetration for your product.
- Dosage and Line Speeds: Specifying the e-beam system with your product's dosage and manufacturing throughput in mind.
- Shielding Options: Choosing between self-shielded steel or concrete vaulted. Steel allows for more compact, space-efficient designs, also allowing for easy disassembly and relocation, offering added flexibility. Concrete, depending on local construction costs, can be more cost-effective or allow for more complicated product handling solutions.
