The electron beam processing system (EPS) is a device intended for material modification and improvement and sterilization, utilizing high-speed electron beams.
NHV Corporation's electron beam irradiation service centers (EB Centers), among the largest in Japan, respond to your needs for test irradiation before installing an electron beam processing system, materials research and development, commercialization experiments, and commissioned processing services.
Features
NHV Corporation, a member of the Nissin Electric Group, offers a line of electron beam processing systems, ranging from low-voltage to 5,000 kV models; it also contributes to the manufacture of environmentally friendly products.
The company will support customers in diverse fields in global countries and continue to respond to their various requests, leveraging its proprietary technologies (high-voltage, beam control, high-vacuum, and safety systems) and proposal-generating capabilities fostered through over 60 years of experience in the development and sale of electron beam processing systems.
Mechanism
Materials irradiated with electron beams (EBs) undergo various chemical reactions, which improve the properties of the material and/or add new functionality. Moreover, compared to traditional processes utilizing heat or light, electron beam processing offers high energy efficiency and substantially reduces electricity cost because electron beams directly work on the molecular structure of the material. The process is used to improve fuel efficiency by means of reducing tire weight and extend food storage periods and reduce food losses by means of improving the performance of food packaging films.
