How hot is my product going to get when it’s processed with e-beam?

How hot is my product going to get when it is beamed? A great question to be sure, and one that can be surprisingly difficult to answer… Electron beam irradiation is a really fast process and delivers a lot of dose quickly. Dose being energy means there is a temperature rise in the product. Let’s […]

How can I lower the cost per foot when processing reel-to-reel products?

Part 1: Why more material on a reel will result in a lower cost Sometimes more is better. More vacation days, more good weather, and, in my personal opinion, you can’t go wrong with more bacon cheesefries. The same principal also applies to the amount of material on a reel sent to us for e-beam […]
