  • Electron beam sterilization apparatus
    Patent number: 8636949
    Abstract: Improved electron beam sterilization apparatus and shielding techniques for use in are provided. A controller modulates an electron beam when sterilizing an interior to an object to ensure that adequate dose is received. Sterilization carousels are configured with input/discharge feeds to reduce the possibility of humans being exposed to dangerous levels of radiation. The system reduces the amount of shielding required to thereby lower cost of installation.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 14, 2012
    Date of Patent: January 28, 2014
    Assignee: Hitachi Zosen Corporation
    Inventors: Michael Lawrence Bufano, Steven Raymond Walther, Peter F. Hays, William Frederick Thomson, Arthur Wayne Sommerstein, Gerald Martin Friedman, P. Michael Fletcher, Stephen Whittaker Into, Anne Testoni, Brian S. Phillips
